From closed federal buildings and memorials to rallies on Capitol Hill, the October 2013 shutdown had a big impact on D.C. and the federal workforce.
National Park Service employee Paul Fox of Washington, who had been off work for the last 16 days, uses a blower to clean the grounds of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, Thursday, Oct. 17, 2013. Barriers went down at National Park Service sites and thousands of furloughed federal workers began returning to work throughout the country Thursday after 16 days off the job because of the partial government shutdown.
