From an email:
“Harriet Tubman Elementary School in Columbia Heights has reopened after its major modernization, and there is a striking new piece of public art at the front of the campus: an 11-foot Corten steel sculpture called Enduring Dreams of Home, designed by Washington Glass School artists Michael Janis, Erwin Timmers & Tim Tate.
The sculpture takes the form of fractured Washington rowhouses, with a stylized portrait of Harriet Tubman emerging from the center. The house is an important part of the story. For Tubman, home was something that had to be escaped, fought for, and ultimately made possible for others. Placing the sculpture at a school named for Tubman brings that history into the everyday lives of a new generation of Washington children. (more…)

Nino’s on L Street is moving from 1310 L St NW to a new location at 2101 L St NW. I’m surprised they’re moving someplace that is both very competitive and relative far from their mostly walk-in trade.
