it is nice to realize that jones point once actually had a point & <br/>
that its distinctive finger shape may have been just what beckoned <br/>
geo washington to select it as the initial point of dc in the first <br/>

&gt; Of interest is the border through Jones Point..... Jones Point<br/>
&gt; apparently has had a lot of land added to it over the years...<br/>
