From the Golden Triangle BID:
“Installed in October 2020, Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative – Because of Her Story beyond the walls of the Smithsonian and into the streets of Washington, DC. Launched in 2018, the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative is one of the country’s most ambitious undertakings to research, collect, document, display and share the compelling story of women. The partnership includes two artworks located on Connecticut Avenue; Monument, created by NYC-based artist Maren Hassinger, and Marker, by DC-based artist Rania Hassan. Monument is on display on the Connecticut Avenue NW Overlook, just south of Dupont Circle, and Marker is located on the Connecticut Avenue NW median at K Street NW. The Golden Triangle BID is proud to offer this opportunity to enjoy museum-quality art outdoors to locals and visitors alike.”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
