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.
Bowie
John Rouse knows a lot about Bowie, Maryland. As editor and general manager of the local newspaper, "The Bowie Blade News," it's his job to know what's going on in this town. John gives us the "newspaperman's" view of the town he's called home for the last 35 years.

A Washington, D.C., institution for more than 200 years, the Maine Avenue Fish Wharf is as historic as it is lively. WETA visits this bustling market to uncover the historic charm and the current cast of characters that makes the wharf a favorite stop for tourists and locals alike.
