L'Enfant

L'Enfant Plaza can be reached through Hazmat Disposal Site L5 from Mall Southwest, or from the Irradiated Metro, which enters the Plaza through L'Enfant South. The plaza is populated by a large number of Super Mutants.

Points of Interest
In L'Enfant South, there's an office building that once housed the Capitol Post newspaper. The building contains a few computers with the text of the articles that appear on the loading screens. In the basement of this building you find "Gibson's corpse", with a key and a note saying "Search the house!" The house is the Gibson House located in Minefield and the key opens the model house on the first floor of the Gibson home.

To the west of the Capitol Post newspaper office is the L'Enfant Cafe (C). The Cafe has a few dead Raiders, two First Aid Kits, some Buffout, and a Mine Box.

Madame Jealle's to the west of the L'Enfant Cafe.

Unmarked quest: Searching for Cheryl
A burial mound due east of the Capitol Post building contains Search Party Log  and assorted loot, with a message about a group looking for the Reilly's Rangers Compound. To loot the burial mound, activate the cross-shaped grave marker (D).

Notable Loot

 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes, Sniper Rifle and some other goodies in a makeshift camp under a partially collaped overpass east of the plaza (A)
 * Big Book of Science in a Pulowski Preservation Shelter south of the plaza (B)

Bugs

 * Using no clip (PC) or following the ledge behind the L'Enfant Metro all the way to the end (consoles), it is possible to fall through and view a banner that reads Quantum hidden within the building. One can walk around in this building, and can exit via fast travel.
