Originally Posted By gadzuux Just be coincidence, I was in DCA for last year's fiesta latina, and thought it looked great back then.

It's certainly not sacrosanct and to be forever unaltered.

But overall I guess the area looks okay because it comes close to the authentic latino look that Olvera Street possesses.
