Excerpt:
During this upcoming Labor Day weekend, on Sept. 3, the web series Anacostia will debut online. The show, set in the historic Anacostia neighborhood in southeast DC, features a ensemble cast which includes Wil "Onix" Lash from the VH-1 reality show "I Love New York" and R & B singer Tia Dae. Produced by DC native Anthony Anderson, the series is set to rival prime-time soap operas Gossip Girl and Melrose Place in its presentation of sexy mayhem and mischief .



"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."
