Co-owner and buyer Ashley Busacca has turned her lifelong affinity to vintage hunting into this well-curated store on Capitol Hill. She has picked up home goods, jewelry, art, clothing, and accessories from travels in San Francisco, New York, and LA. Busacca and co-owner Ryan Darcey donât carry strictly pre-loved items; they also work with local artists and designers, selling contemporary pieces as well.
The born-again (and again) bookstore on 10th has been a Capitol Hill fixture for nearly 50 years, albeit a subterranean one since 2008. Luckily print is not dead after all, just tucked away down a ramp, wedged between a tattoo parlor and yoga studio.
