Washington D.C. City Guide. Pilot Guides
Description
They say that nobody's really from Washington, D.C., a town called the murder capital and the capital of espionage. In this Pilot Guides episode Justine Shapiro goes beyond the myths to learn about real Washingtonians, from the corridors of power, to the bluegrass bars, to the hot international restaurants, to the indigenous music and good-time vibe of the new U Street. As a special guest of Orrin Hatch, Republican senator from Utah, she walks right into the U.S. Capitol building and meets the Senate Majority Leader. She visits the Smithsonian's American History Museum, she joins in a step dance rehearsal on U Street, and attends a civil war re-enactment at Cedar Creek. She ends her trip at Mount Vernon, home to the founder of Washington D.C., George Washington himself.
