Maybe she thinks the neighborhood is named after the department store?
She helped get rid of a pile of trash next to a vacant that started attracting contributors. Her office has to be one of the most effective in the city.
I've always thought you guys were called Bloomingdaliens.
is that like ATLiens? :)
Ms. Thompson was a Marion Barry supporter, now she has a high paying job with Fenty. I don't know the totality of her job responsibilities, but she doesn't spend very much time in the office. She can be seen driving a city vehicle around a lot and helping those she wants to help. For such a high-paying job, it is interesting to me that she has so much time to help people get the city to do things it should be doing anyway, like picking up trash.
paul: i like alice thompson. she clearly gets results. just poking some fun at her email, that's all.
