When Le'Greg Harrison was 9 years old, he biked around the former St. Elizabeths psychiatric hospital campus to see if the scary stories were true.Harrison grew up hearing rumors about the largely abandoned facility from other neighborhood kids-including one that Jeffrey Dahmer hid out there.Thirty years later, Harrison is part of a movement that's bringing new life to the campus in Southeast DC: A temporary 23,000-square-foot retail and community complex opens there this week.
