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.

Layout
In L'Enfant South, there's an office building that once housed the Capitol Post newspaper (simply marked "Office" on the map). 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 ground 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 boxes, some Buffout, and a mine box.

Madame Jealle's (location will mark on map as "Shop") to the west of the L'Enfant Cafe.

Inhabitants
About 15 different super mutants are in the area, maybe even two or three overlords, depending on your level.
