There’s an inter­est­ing arti­cle on Daily Kos about Washington’s D.C.‘s famous U Street Corridor. Home of Duke Ellington this was a cen­ter of jazz and cul­ture for years but since the assas­si­na­tion of Martin Luther King Jr. has seen some rough times. It sounds as though the area is improv­ing though now. Interesting read.
