Dupont Circle
Dupont Circle is one of the most vibrant areas of Washington, D.C. Learn about this metropolitan area, which began with Pierre L'Enfant's vision of a grand and distinguished city.
Del Ray
The annual Del Ray Art on the Avenue festival showcases the work of more than 300 artisans and craftspeople. In this segment, artists and residents talk about their culturally rich neighborhood.
Southwest
Years ago, the neighborhood of Southwest was known as "the island" because the Washington Canal cut it off from the rest of the city. This "island" has seen enormous change and development over the years. Join us on a walking tour that will take us to the oldest row houses in Washington, and to a waterfront area on the brink of redevelopment.
Capitol Hill
The oldest active post of the United States Marine Corps has been a fixture of Washington D.C.'s Capitol Hill neighborhood since 1801. Witness the military traditions proudly continued day in and day out by Marines at the barracks at "8th and I".
Adams Morgan
It all began in the 1970s with two Chilean immigrants who painted a mural in Adams Morgan expressing the struggles of the Latino community. WETA visits Adams Morgan's large and colorful collection of murals and introduces some of its artists.
WETA produces four or more video profiles for each neighborhood. To see all of a neighborhood's videos, click below to go to the Video & Audio page.
