...or, actually, a message from one of its owners:
For the past several months, The Argonaut, The Showbar's Palace of Wonders, The Red & The Black, and now The Rock & Roll Hotel have been advertising together and promoting the Atlas District as a great entertainment destination; we have hired a cleaning staff that sweeps the streets and cleans the alleys on a daily basis; and we have introduced a courtesy shuttle that takes patrons back to Union Station on weekends. Encouraged by the success we've had so far, we would like to extend an invitation to all H Street businesses -- especially those in the Atlas Arts District [12th-15th]-- to join us in our efforts. We would like to expand our transportation services; introduce a dedicated security force; and launch a more inclusive advertising campaign. If any business owners would like to commit their resources to making the Atlas Arts District a vibrant, safe, and accessible destination, please email me at gbantayehu@gmail.com, or call me at (202) 398-7469.
Regards,
Getinet Bantayehu

i think that's great. hopefully more of the new businesses opening will see how important it is to combine resources for stuff like this (makes such a difference in enticing people to frequent the area) since HSMS didn't think it a wise move to become part of the Capitol Hill BID.
In trash related matters- who should I petition to have 6th Street north of K Street placed on the street sweeping calendar?? I have already requested trash cans-repeatedly from the city for the area, and spend a good hour to 2 hours a week picking up amazing amounts of other peoples litter and nastiness- and its barely a dro in the bucket sometimes. L Street NE around the corner has street sweeping on Weds. and Thursdays- I don't see how it could be too hard to incorporate a couple blocks on 6th as well.
