In the 1800s, it was a rural resting stop for travelers heading to the big city. Today, the area east of the Anacostia River is a complex urban landscape, whose residents have sometimes felt cut off from the changes taking place in the rest of D.C. Join Kojo for a look at the history of neighborhoods on the Anacostia's eastern shore, and hear how people living there view their past, present and future.
