Mickey, I think you are talking about someplace else. I live on 15th street and have for many years now. Sure, it's great on weekends, but 16th and 14th are quite nice as well.

When you started your original comment with "take a walk at sunset" I thought you were going to write the exact opposite of what you did. 15th is a madhouse at sunset every single weekday. People scream and honk at anyone who slows down to turn or park, people treat the left lane as if it is a passing lane on 95, red lights are consistently run, and the 30mph speed limit is a joke.

Here's an interesting experiment for your evening stroll. Walk along the west side of 15th and take note of the northwest corner of every single street or alley where drivers may turn left. There is damage to every one from cars unable to make the turn due to excessive speed. You'll see rudimentary repairs to the fences in people's yards on the corner of Corcran, R (streetlight taken out), S, and several alleys in between. They don't call it an "urban freeway" for nothing.
