DCINITY.COM Podcast: Discover Washington DC

Tour Washington D.C.'s first rum distillery, Cotton and Reed,(opening late summer 2016) and meet owners Jordan Cotton and Reed Walker. Formerly working in the aerospace industry, these two young -under 30- entrepreneurs left it all behind to pursue their dream of creating the district's next cool destination: a distillery in the heart of the Union Market neighborhood in the Nation's Capital. One of our favorite quotes from this episode comes from Reed: "Life's about taking risks...if there's not a chance for failure, then what's the point?...". http://www.cottonandreed.com @cottonandreed

Come along as DCINITY takes you back to March 17, 2016 to discover an abandoned school building in South East Washington DC. Between the hours of 1-5pm, dittodc.com opened up the doors to its building, the former Buchanan School, for the public to come check out and take home any of the old furniture that was left over from the school house days, before starting renovations to convert the building into condos. Take a tour of the building and hear stories from local DC entrepreneurs and artists.
