Particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings, but also sometimes during the week, I see couples and small groups walking past my house who are presumably headed to H street (i.e., they are dressed to go out). I don't recall seeing that at all when I first moved here six years ago. The point being that H street is clearly drawing customers who live in capitol hill, not just folks from elsewhere. The fact is, there are quite a few people who live on the Hill who have discretionary income, and up until recently those people, for the most part, left the Hill to spend it. Now, these new businesses on H are keeping some of that money at "home", and the local customer base is only going to expand (particularly with the new apartments going in at both ends of H). I'm quite optimistic about the future of H as a thriving retail corridor.Mosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8835710.post-18211024750320766822011-07-26T01:15:42.987-04:002011-07-26T01:15:42.987-04:00I thought the photo of the shopkeeper who complain...I thought the photo of the shopkeeper who complained about his business being off was a great touch!

We walk a couple blocks home. Also, many of the people that are coming here now, especially on the weekends, were afraid to come to NE just a few years ago.
