On the last day of Knight Training, I figured what the heck. I'll post our very first project, partly to show how far we've come.
It's about the closing of a Washington D.C. independent bookstore that happens to be a few blocks away from NPR headquarters. Many of us visited it on a weekly basis to pick up books, DVDs and music for radio pieces, or sometimes just to have lunch in its pleasant little cafe.

Very nice story. So sad to hear about about the Olsson's closing. The emotion and the attachment of the loyal customers were conveyed very well through the piece. You may wish to correct several typos in the slide captions (it's instead of its, restaurant spelled wrong), especially as it is a piece about a literary enterprise.
