Save Money & the Environment with the Golden Triangle's Free Reusable Bags

You may have heard about the new 5-cent tax on the disposable paper and plastic bags you receive at many businesses that is now law in the District of Columbia. This new tax—which went into effect on January 1, 2010—will generate funds to support the new Anacostia River Clean Up and Protection Fund. To help support the City’s initiative, during the month of January the Golden Triangle BID will be giving out free reusable tote bags to the public for use when running errands and grabbing lunch in the neighborhood. Golden Triangle BID staff and Ambassadors will hand out the free reusable bags throughout January during lunch time at various hotspots in the neighborhood.

"A Deeper Realty" at Foundry Gallery

At the end of 2009, the Foundry Gallery feared they would have to leave their current space on 18th Street. Fortunately for the Golden Triangle and lovers of art in the area, the gallery has been able to remain at 1314 18th Street at least through 2010!

What better way to celebrate than to visit their newest exhibition? Titled "A Deeper Realty", January's exhibition features abstract paintings by Doris Colbert Kennedy. The artist is inspired by cutting edge concepts of theoretical physics, intuiting the movements of sub-atomic particles, waves and strings in works with such titles as "Conifold Transition in Calabi Yau Space", "Quantum Foam" and "Emergent Complexities". The show runs from January 2 to January 31. Find out more »
