mini-review: Takoma Bev Co
On a bucolic commercial block in the DC suburbs which just screams small-town American goodness, you’ll find Takoma Beverage Company, otherwise known as Takoma Bev Co. This shop has quickly become a mainstay of Takoma Park, MD, a progressive, funky town hard by the DC line.

the Salt & Pepper Diner Essential Song of the Day for 9/19
Sorry not much content lately, I was traveling last weekend (I saw Anna twice!) and have been engrossed in a book. More coming soon, including (I hope) our first guest post. But for now we turn to Editors for today’s song that deserves to be played 21x in a row.
the magical powers of coffee….
…. it can make a celebrity appear!
And this happened… #ryanneedsgrinder worked. The man himself showed up. What a good sport, a well brought up Canadian boy. We truly appreciate Ryan taking the time the time to visit us during #tiff. Take that @idriselba your loss. pic.twitter.com/8rMMWOs32J
