Lumen 8: A sign of change?

June 22, 2013 was the kick-off festival for Lumen8Anacostia. Followed by six weeks of events ranging from music, food, film, fashion, workshops, and art, Lumen8 "aims at inspiring future economic development in Anacostia" (Jones, Washington City Paper). I must say it certainly seems as though it has captured an audience. But who is this audience?

Would a HandM, Forever 21, or Chipotle be a good fit in the neighborhood? 

#southeastlove....do you got it?

The Lumen8 Music Box was a great ending to the day's festivities...great ambiance, music, and set up.
