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.

Last Night's Meeting on Van Ness Elementary

Last night a group of residents of the Capitol Riverfront community met with Interim Chancellor Kaya Henderson regarding the future of Van Ness Elementary. Van Ness, confusingly, is located on 5th Street SE, adjacent to M Street SE and not in the Northwest neighborhood of the same name.  The school was closed by DCPS in […]

Monday Morning Circle Time

This weekend felt so…bustley didn’t it? Like in a city sidewalks, busy sidewalks kind of way.  It could have been holiday-induced bustling or perhaps people were moving quickly to get to their destination because it was just so cold. Winter arrived and the boots, coats and mittens came with it. Hanukkah started last week so this […]
