Georgetown
Join WETA as we explore the great pride of many residents: the private gardens of Georgetown.
Shepherd Park
A stroll down Shepherd Park's streets reveals an unusually diverse architectural mixture of homes. WETA takes viewers on a tour of the Colonials, Tutors and Sears catalogue homes in the neighborhood, and shows how these different styles came together.
Capitol Hill
Most people think of cemeteries as final resting places for the dead, but Capitol Hill's Congressional Cemetery has become something of a place for the living. WETA discovers how an immense community effort has led to the preservation and transformation of the historic cemetery.
Glover Park
See how resident artist and historian Carlton Fletcher paints images of the Glover Park neighborhood with both his brushes and words.
Anacostia
Originally known as Uniontown, what is now Anacostia was the first planned suburb of Washington City. WETA explores the community's history from its beginning in the 1850s and reflects on how the area has changed over the past 50 years with longtime resident Gloria Whitfield.
