Georgetown
Discover the favorite haunts of spies. From clandestine meetings to fleeing KGB defectors, Georgetown is where it happened.
Bowie
Although City Hall may seem like an odd place for an art gallery, Bowie's artists welcome the opportunity to display their artwork at the city's offices. Take a tour through the gallery spaces at Bowie City Hall and view the work of homegrown artists of all ages.
Capitol Hill
On Pennsylvania Avenue, sandwiched between two modern banking goliaths, stands National Capital Bank. WETA explores how this seemingly small, family-run business has survived since 1889, weathering stock market crashes, great depressions, recessions and more.
Adams Morgan
Until the late 19th century, the hills above the City of Washington were nothing but farmland and country estates. WETA describes the transformation of Adams Morgan into an urban hot spot and explains how Adams Morgam got its name.
Del Ray
Famous for its custard, The Dairy Godmother is a sweet example of a thriving independent business in Del Ray, where owner Liz Davis' personal philosophy of community is always apparent.
