Yea slight tangent but I say this all the time about Dc: almost all of the new big money gentrified neighborhoods are built over former black club hot spots. Dc wharf- H20/Zanzibar. Ivy city- Love. NoMa- Ibiza. Union market- can’t rembember the club name.
In all those cases the exact same thing happened: fights/stabbing/shootings closed the club…spots get their license revoked…developers can then legally move in and take the landand ffwd it’s a new area. It’s a major jack move
In this case, ironically this spot is RIGHT at the intersection of where white dc residents tried to remove goGo bands from playing outside , so they can whitewash the area some more. This one event won’t hurt things and it’s not a club, but it’s pretty prophetic and they are now on notice
