D.C. bag tax to clean Anacostia River nets $2 million



Washington shoppers have spent approximately $2 million on paper and plastic bags in the past year, one nickel at a time.

The city's 5-cent tax on bags began last January, but consumers spent much less pocket change than predicted to pay for bags from grocery, liquor and convenience stores. City officials had guessed the fee would raise $3.5 million to clean up the city's Anacostia River before the end of 2010, but it has raised a little more than half that.

City officials said they were surprised so many consumers appear to have changed their habits, using reusable bags to carry their goods.

Prints offer fascinating surface



Floating just below the surface of the water, photographer Chajana denHarder appears little more than a blob of pink in many of her self photographs. In others, she captures herself as one or both of her legs kicks through the surface, sending up violent plumes of water. She is never pictured treading water or doing a backstroke - it's the surface of the water that fascinates her.

And in a current show of her work at Anacostia's Gallery at Vivid Solutions, it's the surfaces of her prints that are so fascinating, whether she knows it or not. Photos from two series form a study of how noise works in digital photography - both the hazard it represents and the tool it can be in a smart photographer's hands.

Historic Anacostia Featured in HGTV’s My First Sale Episode, Sunday, January 9 at 1pm.



WASHINGTON, D.C. – January 5, 2011 --- The Third Season of HGTV’s My First Sale will premier Sunday, January 9, 2010 at 1pm and will focus on the Historic Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, DC. The My First Sale series follows a first-time home seller and their real estate agent as they navigate the ups and downs of the real estate market. Sunday’s episode will chronicle the journey of Anacostia homeowner and blogger David Garber as he attempts to sell a renovated single-family home with the assistance of his realtor, Darrin Davis, owner of Anacostia River Realty.

Sunday’s episode features the Historic Anacostia neighborhood of Ward 8, a community on the tipping point of economic and residential revitalization. In recent years, Historic Anacostia has become the option for savvy homeowners looking for affordability without sacrificing Washington DC conveniences.

Says Darrin Davis, “As a Realtor, this coverage is absolutely great for the Anacostia community! We are introducing the world to this great community and hopefully dispelling some misperceptions. I am ecstatic that Anacostia River Realty was the company that brought HGTV here.”

Already HGTV’s coverage of Historic Anacostia is paying off. Garber is in the process of purchasing two dilapidated homes in Historic Anacostia with hopes to have them on the market in late spring. Darrin Davis has been inundated with requests from potential homebuyers looking to experience what he calls “fine east of the Anacostia living.” In February, to coincide with their second year anniversary, Anacostia River Realty will be holding a special viewing party of the My First Sale episode.

The excitement surrounding Sunday’s episode is of particular interest to residents of Historic Anacostia. “The fact that HGTV is in our neighborhood shows proof that the best days are ahead for our community…Historic Anacostia residents will be glued to the TV on Sunday night! Two Thumbs Up for Anacostia!” says Charles Wilson, President of the Historic Anacostia Block Association.
