Glover Park
Discover how a medical loophole during Prohibition led a local pharmacist, Doc Eisenberg, to establish a family business that remains to this day a fixture in the Glover Park community.
Anacostia
Every day after school, boys and young men living in Anacostia's low-income and public housing produce some of the city's most unique art. WETA visits the Life Pieces to Masterpieces program in Lincoln Heights and shows how it is helping young people turn their challenges into possibilities through artistic expression.
Glover Park
Created in World War II as part of the war effort, the community garden in Glover Park is one of the few "victory garden" sites still in use today. Hear how the garden still contributes to a greater cause.
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.
Del Ray
Famous for its custard, The Dairy Godmother is a sweet example of a thriving independent business in Del Ray, where owner Liz Davis' personal philosophy of community is always apparent.
