The U Street Corridor became a blighted area after the 1968 Riots . Gentrification began in the mid- 1980s , prompted by spillover development from then trendy Adams Morgan and later from Logan Circle . Mayor Marion Barry sought to hasten the renewal of the corridor by locating a major municipal building at 14th and U. As of 2005 , the U Street corridor is known for restaurants, nightlife such as the nightclub Republic Gardens , eclectic stores, and a general Hipster atmosphere. SEE ALSO
