A welcome from Dan Broeker, General Manager

Welcome to Borders in Friendship Heights, DC, right on the boundary line with Chevy Chase, Maryland. We're a neighborhood store in the midst of a very cosmopolitan city. Check out our collection of titles highlighting many of the attractions in our nation?s capital. Maybe you'd rather rub shoulders with the locals while browsing the Politics & Government or the History section on the first floor. Don't forget to pick up a copy of Congress at Your Fingertips so you can reach any congressional office from the comfort of your own home. Later, please stop upstairs and say hello to John Ed Niles, our resident music and multimedia expert. John Ed will gladly assist you in locating (or ordering) that hard-to-find CD, whether it's a classical or contemporary hip hop release. Whatever your particular interest, we hope your visit to Washington, DC and our store is entertaining and fruitful. Come say hello!
