Support local businesses with a "cash mob." It's like a flash mob, but instead of dancing, you shop--and can win cool prizes. We're mobbing Takoma on March 14.
Think Local First in partnership with Elevation DC, Old Takoma Business Association, Takoma Foundation, and Trohv are hosting a Cash Mob in Takoma on March 14 from 6-8 p.m.

The participating businesses (in no particular order) are:
While you're in Takoma, say hi to Elevation DC managing editor Rachel Kaufman and share your thoughts on our magazine in person. Story ideas? Gripes? Kudos? We'll be there. Find Rachel at the starting location at Trohv for most of the night.
