From an email:
“Every Allbirds store has its own color pop, for the D.C. store the color pop is white, inspired by the architectural monuments of the city.
Each Allbirds store has its own unique three lace colors, that are free with a purchase of a Runner, that reference local themes. In the D.C. store the colors are: Mumbo Sauce Orange, Logan Circle Green, and Georgetown Grey. (more…)

If you spot a hawk or any interesting wildlife around town, lunching or otherwise, and get a good photo please send where you spotted it to [email protected] and I’ll add it to the queue. Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.

CNN reports this morning: “Schurman Fine Paper, which owns the brand, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Thursday in a Delaware court. The company is closing all 254 of its US and Canada stores. More than 1,000 employees will lose their jobs.”
I think they have a Union Station location too. So where to buy card now?
