  1. The street scape for the Connecticut Ave scene tells me that it is on Connecticut Ave before near Florida Ave.

    1. Thank you for the tip. 1803 Connecticut Avenue NW is actually in that area, but neither The Newsroom nor the adjacent buildings look the same. Maybe they have changed so much over the years. I'll continue to search the area.

  3. Mitch Leary's apartment is definitely a tough one. But the area reminds me of Adams Morgan.
