Glover Park
Watch a play-by-play on the Glover Park co-ed softball league, the city's only independent neighborhood softball league, now in its 25th year.
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.
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.
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.
WETA produces four or more video profiles for each neighborhood. To see all of a neighborhood's videos, click below to go to the Video & Audio page.
