Dupont Circle

Dupont Circle is located in the northern part of the urban D.C. area, in the southeastern part of the Capital Wasteland. To get to DuPont Circle you either have to sneak out the backdoor of the Galaxy News Radio building and go through collapsed car tunnel, or go through one of the many Metro tunnels.

Layout
Dupont Circle has a flower-like shaped form, in the middle of which is a non-working fountain; a grass area and a small road circles around it. The grass area is filled with frag mines. To the north, east and west are various roads which don't run far due to collapse of buildings. It has some entrances to metro stations, sewers and a store entrance.

To the south there is also a road, with a bridge overpass and another metro and car tunnel entrance.

Inhabitants
Mostly raiders with a few feral ghouls as well. The raiders will respawn after a while. You may encounter a few vicious dogs too.

Notable loot

 * Tales of a Junktown Jerky Vendor behind a desk, on top of a safe, in Lady Frumperton's Fashions, located between DuPont Station and DuPont East.
 * Stealth Boy located in the middle of the three abandoned houses (south of Metro Junction) guarded by raiders. It is located on the floor next to the shelf case.
 * Pre-War book on the shelf next to the Stealth Boy.

Appearances
Dupont Circle only appears in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
Dupont Circle is a real-life location in Washington D.C.

Bugs

 * While the fountain in the middle of Dupont Circle is filled with water, you cannot drink from it, nor be irradiated by it. However, if you jump from the sandbags into the water, you will splash into it and take continual radiation damage just as if you were in any body of irradiated water. Leaving the pool and coming back to it will again yield no effect.
