    These stairs were made famous in the 1973 horror movie, "The Exorcist." Today you might find GU students and athletes using them for exercising, instead of exorcising.

    The stairs are difficult to find (it's quite hidden) but well worth it! Best to look for the gas station which is right next to the steps.

    A cool little landmark in Georgetown. Right next to the university, and close to the bridge.

    5-10 sets, running in the rain/thunder/lightning, with some pull-ups between sets. Exercise those endorphins, Exorcise those inner demons!
