Bowie
Although City Hall may seem like an odd place for an art gallery, Bowie's artists welcome the opportunity to display their artwork at the city's offices. Take a tour through the gallery spaces at Bowie City Hall and view the work of homegrown artists of all ages.
Capitol Hill
Washington D.C.'s Capitol Hill neighborhood is often identified by its great structures: the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress and Union Station. But to a boy growing up there in the 1920s and 1930s, those were the places your neighbors worked or built. WETA visits with Tom Kelly as he shares his memories of the neighborhood where he's lived all his life.
Shaw
Originally developed in 1873, the gated "Whites only" community of LeDroit Park was a high-end romantic suburb. After the gates came down, it was a haven for Howard University scholars, literary figures and civil rights leaders such as Mary Church Terrell.
Shaw
Frank Love has been cutting hair at Greg's Barbershop since 1959. Now Love, community storyteller and historian, gives us a view of Shaw as seen by one of the long-time businesses at the heart of the neighborhood, his barbershop.
Dupont Circle
Take a tour through the Brewmaster's Castle in Dupont Circle, the nation's most intact late-Victorian home.
