Washington DC Heritage Trail project

In October 2013, Dana Ellyn began her newest big painting project. She is using the Cultural Tourism DC Neighborhood Heritage Trail guides to inspire a new series of paintings. She has started with the Downtown Heritage Trail, "Civil War to Civil Rights" which begins just steps from the front door of her studio.

Duet (Patsy & Jimmy)

After World War II, Mount Pleasant enjoyed a brief heyday as a 'hillbilly' music destination. Singer (and later sausage salesman) Jimmy Dean found fame hosting Town and County Time; a half-hour daily music variety TV show in Washington, DC. In 1955, Patsy Cline began appearing on the show as the female vocalist with Jimmy Dean and the Texas Wildcats.
