ANACOSTIA - THE SERIES


UPDATE: ANACOSTIA THE WEB SERIES HAS JUST BEEN PICKED UP BY LOCAL AFFILIATE DCTV IN WASHINGTON DC BEGINNING IN MID OCTOBER CATCH THE SHOW IN DC ON COMCAST 95 AND RCN 10PM TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS.
Anthony Anderson's DC based soap opera 'ANACOSTIA' debuted at 2pm, Friday Sept 11, 2009. Anderson , the writer and producer of the award winning Independent Film 'The Ties That Bind' has created an independent web series like no other. ANACOSTIA-The Series follows the lives of four friends as they navigate through love, deceit, betrayal, sex, and death. This 13 episode series will be filmed on location in several areas including Washington DC's Anacostia neighborhood, Landover Maryland, Baltimore Maryland, Virginia and New York City.

Born in DC and raised on Chicago Street in Southeast DC, Anderson moved to Montgomery County suburbs during his last year at Douglass Junior High in DC. Yet, he never forgot his hometown. Anderson still believes Anacostia reared him to be a survivor. He named his production company, Southeast Boy Productions, as homage. "The show is escapism," Anderson says. “It shows Anacostia in a completely different way that I don’t think people get a chance to see. People usually see 'local teen gets shot', but, they don’t see everyday that there are people out there working, striving and have great lives."

Expect delays for Anacostia streetcar work

Adam Tuss, WTOP.com

Plans to get streetcars rolling once again in the District have been slow to materialize, but there are some tangible signs that the trains are coming.

Unfortunately, that could mean some delays for drivers passing by South Capitol Street and Firth Sterling Avenue in Anacostia.

The D.C. Department of Transportation is about to start installing tracks for the long awaited streetcar system in that area - although the actual streetcars aren't expected to start running for another two and a half years.

DDOT will start installing streetcar tracks at the intersection of South Capitol Street and Firth Sterling Avenue in Anacostia, Wednesday morning.

The work will begin around 9:30 a.m. and isn't expected to finish until the end of the month. Traffic through the intersection will have to slim down to one lane in each direction, and DDOT says it'll add about 5-10 minutes to your drive.

Traffic also will not be allowed to turn from northbound South Capitol Street to Firth Sterling Avenue or Defense Boulevard.

Northbound traffic will have to take using one of two detours:

  • East on M Street
  • South on First Street
  • Southwest on Potomac Avenue
  • South on South Capitol Street in order to turn east on Firth Sterling Avenue or west on Defense Boulevard

Or

  • North on South Capitol Street
  • East on Malcolm X Avenue
  • North on Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue
  • West on Howard Road to Firth Sterling Avenue

While this project is expected to be completed by the end of September, more work on South Capitol Street and Firth Sterling Avenue will continue until december, and DDOT is recommending the following alternate routes to avoid delays.

  • I-295 North to Suitland Parkway to South Capitol Street
  • Malcolm X Avenue to Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue to W Street to 13th Street to I-295 North
  • South Capitol Street to Suitland Pkwy to I-295 South
  • I-295 to 11th Street Bridge to Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue to South Capitol Street
