Washington D.C. was originally named Federal City. It was designed by Pierre Charles L'Enfant who fashioned the city after his native Paris. The grid and angled avenues provide grandeur when leading up to majestic buildings, but it was also designed to prevent easy entry into the city by enemy troops "back in the day". Interestingly, Washington D.C. is home to 4,000 psychiatrists. . . the Corndog was first introduced at the 1938 Texas State Fair by brothers Carl and Neil Fletcher. In tribute to its humble beginning, the World's Largest Corndog makes regular stops at Fairs around the country including an annual visit to the bigger and better Obion County Fair.
