Sweeping Away The Heebie Jeebies

The Washington DC Business Improvement District (BID) actually does a pretty decent job of keeping the Triangle clean and looking good. I'm sure the businesses pay a pretty penny to tax themselves voluntarily for this service, but the results speak for themselves.

Street sweepers, fresh flowers, helpful men in uniform ready to direct tourists and hand out maps all say: I care. (Because if they didn't it would be enough to trigger the screaming heebie-jeebies.)

[DowntownDC] The Downtown BID area covers approximately 140 blocks from Massachusetts Avenue on the north to the National Mall on the south, from Louisiana Avenue on the east to the White House on the west.
