Where are the big box stores and surface lots in those pictures?
You are being intentionally obtuse.
The missing retail and people in those pictures of 14th and U Street at that time are right where they're located on Benning Road and Minnesota Avenue right now. They're coming soon...
Pretty busy. Mostly just looks like a busy bus stop. I see some people scrambling to the McDonald’s. But 90% of people are at a bus stop in front of Payless. Also the video you give is about a braid daylight shooting. None of this seems like the logically place for OP.
Again this is a bus depot/station and box retail not an urban village. If that’s all OP wants then yea but if they want a somewhat desirable/hip urban walkable area with plurality African Americans there are better options in DC. The former is readily available all over the US. I assume OP is looking for thing a bit more top shelf since there is an emphasis on professional vibes
If you're spending this much time on a broken-down intersection that's only a block away from surface lots and big box stores to prove Ward 7's vibrancy, then the battle has already been lost.
I'm starting to question if you've been to this area. The bus depot/station Bajan is talking about is about 0.5 miles from this location at the metro station below:
The bulk of the pedestrian traffic is always between the Minnesota Avenue Metro Station and the Benning Road intersection below. Just say you're not that familiar with the area...
Put it this way there’s one building (DOES) between the bus depot and Park 7..it’s RIGHT THERE. Of course I’ve been to the area on many occasions, I referenced the bus depot first.
It’s a 3/4 minute walk from the intersection.Objective fact.

Also, here's the urbanity surrounding that intersection. It looks exactly like Columbia Heights did in the 80s /s/
Look at all of these pedestrians in the West End. It's easy to mistake it for 125th Street or 52nd Street in West Philly. As MDAllStar said about Benning Road, this is an every day look at Ralph David Abernathy.

I have seen this and have driven past it recently (pre-COVID). I am very interested to see how SE will develop, especially along the Green Line.
