    A DC license isn't valid. This is the second time I've read of this happening.

    I can't tell you how many times I've had people in other parts of the country be confused by a DC ID. Colorado, Illinois, and especially Massachusetts.

    I had a 10 minute conversation with a door man at the Bleacher Bar by Fenway one night about which state I lived in. The response that I didn't live in a state stopped him cold.

    "Well, we only take state ID's" was all I could get out of him. I tried to explain that DC was a territory like Puerto Rico. Then he asked me, "If they're in the US which state are those territories in?"

    Finally his manager came up and let me in.

    I live in Maryland now and I don't miss that DC license at all.

    I discovered behind the gun counter that if someone born in Prince George's county is asked to provide their birth city, they will just continuously repeat "Prince georges".... because cheverly isn't a thing

    That's not all that amazing.

    I had to show my birth certificate to get a job once. The HR person asked to see my immigration paperwork because I was born in the District of Columbia, and she didn't know that it was part of the USA? It took a lot of arguing to get her to believe that Washington DC and the District of Columbia are the same thing. :lol2:

    *****This happened to me in Langley Park, at a *college* reunion.....:sad20: UMCP is just down the road a bit and a charming woman asked for some info about me including where I was born... so she could make me a name tag. I said District of Columbia and she *at least* sorta knew "Columbia" was in South America... :lol: Thankfully, her eyes lit up when I rephrased and said "Washington, D.C."

    And, YES! she was still in college (undergrad) majoring in, wait for it......... EDUCATION!!!! :D

    Well "Prince George's" must be in England, or on of them king loving countries. This is America.

    It's just a placeholder for the day when monarchy is rightfully restored in Maryland. Question: Can there be two "Prince Mike" counties in the same state?

    I've spoken to people who insist Rhode Island is an island (somewhere) and not a state. If I asked them where this island is, most didn't know.

    I was staying at a cabin and WI and had a package delivered there by UPS. The driver saw my vehicle and noticed the license plate. He said District of Columbia, is that in Canada?. I said no, its Washington DC, your US capitol. He said oh OK I couldn't figure out what that was.
