RIP Betty, the Zoo’s 67 year old Flamingo

Valentine’s Day yard art #DCflamingos

The great flamingo matriarch of the National Zoo, Betty, died last month. In her honor, we are dedicating our Valentine’s Day yard art (video below) in her memory. Our yard display brings us great joy to see how much the kids in the neighborhood enjoy it and interact with it: https://twitter.com/theHillisHome/status/1491590291886952450

In Memory of Peter Bis

Peter Bis was a very kind man, who for many years lived on Mass Ave.  He enjoyed greeting people from his spot by the gas station, usually under a tree.  He would be there all day, everyday.  He helped out around the station and also helped customers who needed air in their tires.  He had an abundance of personality.  In a town where almost nobody seems to have the time to say hello to a stranger, Peter was an anomaly.  He always had something kind to say, and frequently caused people to smile.  He will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.  Below is a revised rough-cut of what will we hope in the future will be a more refined video of the community’s reaction to Peter and his passing.
