Attached is a link to a 2 minute video aimed at bringing exposure to the Adams Morgan District of Washington, DC.  Morton Fine Art is located in Lower Adams Morgan, at the cross roads of Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and Adams Morgan.  The video gives a good feel for why this is the ‘Real DC’ with all of its cultural diversity and thriving small businesses, boutiques, restaurants, and night spots.
