Probably the requirements for a good buskering place involve a fairly high numbers of passers-by, a decent-sized space, preferably plaza-like, and an acoustic environment without too much constant background noise. In Washington, DC, one summer evening, some friends and I thought it might be fun to find a place to become outdoor entertainment. The only place we could think of in the city with sufficiently heavy pedestrian traffic was Georgetown--and when we got there, we realized that the entire area is in the flight path of Washington National Airport, which means a loud and low overflying jet approximately every 75 seconds. It's no wonder that there isn't a buskering tradition in Georgetown, DC!
