AMPBID Promotion -- Adams Morgan Date Night
|
We are working on a new promotion to position Adams Morgan as THE PLACE to go on a date in Washington, D.C. The initiative will run from late January to late March (8 weeks) and including digital advertising, web presence, press outreach and printed materials.
As part of the promotion, we'll be putting together sample date itineraries to inspire people to explore all the possibilities Adams Morgan has to offer. For example, a date might start with coffee at Tryst, continue with dinner at Jack Rose, and end with a late show at Songbyrd.
If you have a special or promotion of your own to contribute to the packages, or would like to be featured as a date night option, please respond to
Brian Barrie
(202-536-9515) by Jan. 9 to submit your promo and info.

Christmas Tree Collection
|
From
DPW
:
Holiday trees and greenery will be collected between January 14 and February 2.
Residents in DPW-serviced households should place their trees and greenery where their trash and recyclables are normally collected. Trees and greenery collected during these three weeks (and those brought to the Fort Totten and Benning Road transfer stations) will be composted and made available to residents for free. Please remove all ornaments and lights; do not put trees and greenery in a bag. After February 2, place holiday trees and greenery where your trash is collected. They will be picked up with your trash as space in our trucks permits. Unfortunately, trees and greenery collected after February 2 will not be composted. As a reminder, apartment and condominium buildings with four or more units are required to provide their tenants with solid waste collections (this includes leaves and holiday trees/greenery).
The AMPBID clean team will assist DPW by collecting trees from side streets for DPW to pick up.
