H Street, so long the center of the neighborhood’s life, is being structured as an arts district. In 2002, H Street Main Street, in partnership with the city and community members, started breathing new life in the neighborhood.

Business owners in that area are calling the area the Atlas District, after the movie theater (now a dance and performance studio) that has been its most prominent landmark for half a century.
