Shepherd Park
Shepherd Park was one of the Districts' first truly integrated neighborhoods, largely because of a group of citizens called Neighbors, Incorporated. In the late 1950s, this group of black and white residents came together to fight unfair housing practices and to promote integration. They are still an active part of Shepherd Park today.
Adams Morgan
Adams Morgan's restaurants span the globe within a few bustling blocks. WETA visits these ethnic eateries - including what some consider the city's most unique Sunday brunch - and shows viewers there is truly something for everyone in Adams Morgan.
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.
Georgetown
Visit Blues Alley, a nationally renowned jazz supper club where greats such as Dizzy Gillespie and local favorite Eva Cassidy once played.
Dupont Circle
In Dupont Circle, you'll discover the hub of the city's chess community, where lively games have been played by people of all walks of life since 1968.
