Yes, the steps are still there as is the Dixie Liquors.

Several movies have been filmed in Georgetown, including 1973 horror film The Exorcist, which was set in the neighborhood and partially filmed there. In the movie's climactic scene, the protagonist is hurled down the 75-step staircase at the end of 36th Street NW, which connects Prospect Street with M Street below. The staircase has come to be known as the "Exorcist steps".[50] A false front was built onto the house at the top of the steps so that the bedroom windows would immediately overlook the steps. The real structure has considerable set-back.

Ah yes, the infamous outdoor steps.  Used to take visitors into town and show them to our guests.  Anyone recall what Rummy is referring too?  Near Dixie liquors if I remember correctly, we also visited that place regularly as you could still buy liquor in DC at 18. - rob

Chris,

I didn't know homes in the DC area had enough area to store a boat. You
must live in the rich NW part of town. :) My sister used to live not to far
from  your office. She was on Fulton Street in Palisades. I've driven past
your office  many times. You have a very famous outdoor stairs just down the
street.

Thanks.  My boat will be on stands in the yard,  not too many trees nearby
and I will make sure they provide some slope to the  rear.

Chris,
If you store your  boat out in open without a tarp, be aware of how it
drains.  You have to  raise the bow quite a bit to get water to flow to the aft
drains.  Then  leaves plugging the seat drains becomes an issue.  I've never
used  antifreeze.  I've had water collect and freeze in the cockpit (tarp
leaked and boat not slanted enough) and water freeze in the bilge and it
wasn't a problem.  In both cases the water had room to expand when it  froze.
Now I don't recommend that approach, but water freezing on a boat  does not
necessarily mean disaster. - rob

Elle:

I went down to  my boat on Friday and put extra spring lines on due to the
wind and high  tide.  The wind and rain was pretty constant for several days
due to  Ida.  Sunday was a beautiful sunny and warm day and I spent most of
it  taking everything off my boat to prepare for winter.  My bilge has been
 bone dry all season however on Sunday I found a couple of buckets full of
water in the bilge.  My Port side cushion was also pretty soaked.  I  have
had a slight drip at the rail thru deck fitting throughout the season and
used some silicone sealant on the rail and shrouds were they penetrate the
deck.  I think the water in my boat is from the rain and while it is
dripping at the rail thru deck fitting I think it migrates from another thru  deck
fitting to this location.  I plan to have the boat hauled in a  couple of
weeks but will still need to keep an eye on rain water so it doesn't  freeze
and cause damage in the bilge and or lazaret.  Do owners put  antifreeze in
the bilge and laz!
aret during the winter?  I don't plan  to tarp my boat.  Is the compartment
directly around the centerboard  trunk the only bilge area or are there
others?  There appears to be a  small space below the holding and water tank
but that appears to be about  it.

Hi, guys,
Here's a boat  item...!
After the rain I found mega water in my boat....in the bilge &  in the port
side compartment at floor level. Deductive reasoning (ha) led me  to think
that there was a problem with the hole for the pennant. I found what
appears to be a crack in the hole that the centerboard pennant leads through.
Looking inside, I saw that a wooden support for under the companionway opening
was wet....and so was the floor & the bilge was full.
Here afe  pix...what is the consensus...and will cleaning out the crack,
opening it  slightly  & caulking it w/ LifeCaulk or one of its cousins solve
it  or am I in for a lesson in fiberglass??
Here are photos; the last few are  remnants of the storm...
thanks for any and all  advice...
