(Washington Post) — The Adams Morgan neighborhood in Northwest Washington is known as a hub of nightlife where visitors can go dancing, see live music and, when hunger strikes, consume exorbitantly-sized pizza slices. What the neighborhood is not known for is luxury, but that could change. For the past six years, developer Brian Friedman has been pushing a complex project that he says would reinvent Adams Morgan as a bustling attraction at all times of day, not just in the evenings. He has proposed transforming a historic church, formerly the First Church of Christ, Scientist, into a 174-room luxury hotel. His plan calls for preserving the church building and constructing a 10-story connecting building behind it, where there is now parking.
