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.

Buildings in L'Enfant
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. The Cafe has a few dead Raiders, a First Aid Kit, some Buffout, and a Mine Box.

A Shop to the west of the L'Enfant Cafe has a few items to pick up - a Buffout, Mentat, two Stimpacks, and a First Aid Kit. There is an average-difficulty safe with a .32 Pistol and ammunition inside.

Other Landmarks
There is a Big Book of Science in a Pulwaski Preservation center roughly in the middle of the plaza.

There is a burial mound due east of the Capitol Post building. It contains the 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.

There is a makeshift camp underneath a partially-collapsed overpass to the north of L'Enfant Plaza that has a Sniper Rifle, a copy of U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes, and a handful of grenades (under a box on the shelf).
