Verizon Center
This past Monday, Republicans unleashed a herd of their favorite animal (elephant) on Capitol Hill to take back Congress and trample the opposition! Just kidding. The circus has come to town! In what has become an annual event, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus paraded their elephants (and assorted horses, clowns, and glitzy trapeze girls) through the Hill to their final destination at the Verizon Center. This year the trek began right around 1 p.m. at Garfield Park, came down 3rd street past the Folger Theater, wound by Union station, and landed at the Verizon Center. The star-stamped pachyderms and their entourage left behind them a trail of giddy children, amused Hill workers, and impressively large piles of crap. The circus moves on to the Patriot Center for shows April 2-13.
