Lofty Plans

I recently got to tour the jump-started Capitol Lofts project on R street just east of the the Fox and Goose. With the recent restoration of the historic R Street corridor its desolate shell is an eyesore.

And 11th Street doesn't look too good, either.

So it was really fun to learn of the plans - both for restoration and new construction - for this section of the stretch.

Plans are for artists' live-work lofts above with both non-profit and retail art space at street level.

Our tour group got a hazy view of the interior,

peeked out damaged windows,

and imagined the new energy on R Street with even more art in our hood. Lucky us!
