How to Get Money to Start an H Street NE Business
(DC Centric) — D.C. has just unveiled the application for a grant program that gives money to new or existing retail businesses along the H Street NE corridor. There’s about $1.25 million available for the program, and the first wave of applications is due by Oct. 26.
H Street Corridor: A Work in Progress
(Washington Post) — It’s past last call at Sticky Rice DC in Northeast, but no one is going home. The crowd is downing shots of Smirnoff vodka, and the music is blasting. An obscure song by Sir Mix-A-Lot comes on. “This is my jam,” a girl in ripped black tights says. Outside the bar, the music escapes with a heavy thump, thump into the new heart of the H Street corridor. This is not what the city imagined. When the music finally fades, most of the partyers climb into cabs back to Northwest. They zip past blocks of buildings that tumble out of the darkness like discordant notes: a burned-out storefront; a bistro that serves craft beers; a Popeyes; a coming- soon sign for a New Orleans restaurant. The people disappear over the H Street Bridge, a physical barrier that has kept this neighborhood separate from the rest of the city for years.
