Under Where?

People do tend to look better in low lighting… DC Councilmember Jim Graham suggests that the male strip clubs, like Wet, Secrets, and the like, take advantage of the Dupont Down Under space which resides directly under the Dupont Circle. The underground space was originally built as a streetcar station in the 1940’s, and was used in the 1990’s as a food court; but has been since boarded up. What a lovely idea though - to get down and dirty… just go down under. I’m curious to see if it ever comes about. I would expect plenty of objections from residents in that area… but who knows. Perhaps it’s a good thing - out of site, out of mind? I’m sure the business owners would be up for it. From the article I read in last week’s MetroWeekly, the businesses would escape some of the zoning laws which restrict business hours, licenses, etc.  (Photo courtesy of MetroWeekly)
