Jen DeMayo

Jen DeMayo has been a waitress, an actor, a puppeteer and a writer for the Hill Rag. She worked for many years for the Atlas Performing Arts Center which has resulted in her being a relentless H Street booster/Streetcar apologist. She is originally from the New York-New Jersey area and is consequently one of the many who whine endlessly about DC’s lack of good bagels and pizza. She is the mom to two boys who currently attend DCPS (off the Hill.) No matter what she may end up accomplishing in her life, she is sure that her obituary headline will say she was the founder of Moms on the Hill.

To Do

Ah, Mother’s Day is upon us once again. The one day a year our society sets aside to honor the female caregivers in our lives by feeding them omelets and waffles. On the Hill we indulge their innate nosiness by offering them an opportunity to peek inside strangers houses. There’s a lot coming up this weekend so tonight you […]

The To Do List

This Saturday presents a confusing cultural conundrum. It is the day of the Kentucky Derby, the tradition-bound horse race that somehow also celebrates seersucker and mint juleps. Saturday is also Cinco De Mayo (no relation) a Mexican holiday that celebrates margaritas and sombreros. Many people who have zero affiliation with, or even understanding of, either culture […]
