I met Bonny King-Taylor in February, when I wrote about her pet coaching business, The Doggy Lama. During our conversation, she made an off-hand comment about how walking across the U.S. was part of the literal and figurative path that lead her to become a personal coach and counselor. The comment caught my interest, but [...]

Local Business: Studio Juno
April 26th, 2010 · No Comments · Capitol Hill North
Like the American bison that once roamed the plains, the ubiquitous Sears Portrait Studio baby picture is now virtually extinct. I personally have loads with the cloudy blue background, oftentimes sitting or leaning on a bench of some sort covered in brown shag carpet. And yes, I have the picture-within-a-picture: me smiling adorably at the [...]

“What do I wear?” It’s the eternal question. When it comes to weddings, the question morphs into obsession. Entire movie plots revolve around the procurement of the perfect dress; diet and workout plans are propagated to make the dress look its best. But the real role of the dress is not what it is, but [...]

October 21st, 2009 · No Comments · Capitol Hill North

To call it a belt doesn’t do this accessory justice. Its more a work of storytelling art. I recently visited Wye’s workshop, [...]

Despite the current state of the economy and accompanying decline in retail generally, Schneider’s has seen an uptick in unit sales, even as dollar volume has remained steady. Genderson thinks [...]
