Anacostia
THEARC is a unique community center -- a world-class facility that provides education, health care, recreation and arts for residents East of the Anacostia River. WETA's tour of the facility reveals the only place where you can find the Washington Ballet, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the Levine School of Music under one roof.
Georgetown
Explore the historic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal on the Potomac, which is today a national historical park and recreational destination.
Shaw
Since 1958, Ben's Chili Bowl has been delighting residents with halfsmokes, burgers and, of course, chili. Owners Ben and Virginia Ali show us how life at the Chili Bowl has changed, decade by decade, since the 1950s.
