seriously, if they want this to be taken seriously in a town like Washington, certainly if they want to attach themselves to the "burgeoning art community," they'd best locate themselves somewhere remotely near it, say the U-Street corridor or 13th street or something. Hell, Landover has more going on than H street.

While that may have been true even 2 years ago, you're laughably mistaken about the location of the "burgeoning art community". H St is the next U street. I was out at the H St Lounge last night, and it was filled with about a hundred people, and was more racially mixed than just about any place I've been to in DC.

Right next door to R&B is Sanctuary, which is an art gallery, club, and performance space. As a previous poster commented there are several theatres both open and opening. I agree that, "most people wouldn't set foot in at gunpoint" but you're perspective is probably *exactly* the way most squares viewed the SOHO district in NYC in the seventies.

LAME alright...
