In this episode, we’re going to talk with local activists and historians to help us understand how we got here… and along the way talk about what the North Capitol Crossroads area has to do with Abraham Lincoln, the interstate highway system, and the return of a lost city park. We are also going to get to the bottom of why there seems to be so many fences here.
District Crossroads is a podcast about the neighborhoods and neighbors in and around DC’s major intersections. It explores some of the events, institutions, and people that have shaped them and that will continue to shape them in the future.
This episode takes us to the North Capitol Crossroads area of DC, which includes portions of Ward 1, 4, and 5.
