Neighborhood Discount Cards Are Brilliant Idea

The Capitol Hill Community Council just unveiled the "Capitol Hill Discount Dollar," a printable coupon that qualifies the bearer for a sweet 10 percent discount at over a dozen participating neighborhood businesses. South Lake Union has the "SLU Card" with varying local discounts available to anyone renting, leasing, or owning in a Vulcan-affiliated building, and Vulcan owns everything down there (right?) so it's almost like a neighborhood card. That does it, we're going on record: this is a trend we can fully support. Buy local, get to know your neighborhood businesses, strengthen your community, don't feel so alone in the world. Fantastic idea, and we'd like to see more businesses participating.
