Shepherd Park
What is it like growing up next to the Army's premier medical center? The residents of Shepherd Park have been neighbors of the prestigious Walter Reed Army Medical Center for nearly 100 years.
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.
Shepherd Park
Named for Alexander "Boss" Shepherd -- a Washington, D.C. governor from 1873 to 1874 -- Shepherd Park remained a rural neighborhood well into the 19th century. WETA uncovers the events that transformed forests and farmlands into the urban neighborhood that is today's Shepherd Park.
