From history to shopping to nightlife there's something for everyone in Georgetown.

"Everybody says 'Lets go to Georgetown,'" says Blues Alley owner Harry Schnipper. And, it's no wonder -- from shopping to nightlife there's something for everyone. Wendy Ezrailson, the owner Commander Salamander, details how the store tapped into Washington's love for "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" in the 1980s, as Schnipper recalls how Dizzy Gillespie made Blues Alley the go-to venue for jazz.
