  We're terribly sad to relay that the much-loved Capitol Hill bookstore, Bailey/Coy, will be closing its doors at the end of November after 26 years of service, announced owner Michael Wells yesterday. As Wells states in the press release, "This has not been an easy decision for us.

  Soup season has officially begun, and we couldn't be more excited. The simplicity of throwing all of your favorite ingredients into one meal, and the quick and easy cleanup from cooking everything in a single pot is enough to keep a smile on our face all winter.
