My city.... hmm. I barely know it myself, so I'd show them Old Town Alexandria and point out the history of how it played a vital role in the forming of our government. From there, you can see the Washington Monument and capital, so I wouldn't need to actually go into DC.
Earth, I'd take them to Shackleford Banks in North Carolina to show that we do have the ability to preserve an eco-system instead of building 20 story resort hotels. Then I'd take them to Myrtle Beach to show them the opposite of the spectrum - how greed and sex sell so well and make a naturally beautiful area the nation's white trash ashtray.
