U STREET: Manhattan Laundry Gets Its Cool On

Mural viewed from Florida Ave

The Manhattan Laundry Complex at 14th & Florida Avenue NW, is getting close to opening with full occupancy, really soon. The 2 main tenants, La Colombe Coffee, and WeWork, are in their final build-out stage and are probably a little more than a week away from opening. The Douglas  Development site has not changed the original exteriors, so its super industrial look is still in place.

If you are a reader of the Badwolfdc Blog, you know we love street art, so it was a huge blast to see that the alley between the 2 structures, which still retains the original walkway, has its own mural,  a homage to th DC Music scene of the 80's, and incorporating an ad for WeWork

Without attribution I am hoping that someone, maybe at WeWork, who it looks like, commissioned the art work - if anyone knows, will please let me know, the artist deserves kudos's
