Get your fix
By Lauren Zima
A few months ago, after getting dressed up for a presentation, I headed toward my car. As I stepped in, I heard — and felt — my favorite I’m-a-professional dress rip at the seam along the back. Luckily, my wardrobe had not malfunctioned during my speech, but I had one of those classic Laverne & Shirley moments when I got home and tried to walk into my apartment (up a flight of stairs) with my tote bag strategically held behind me.
Life happens, and things break. This is nothing new. But we’re usually naive to the best places to fix the fractured. I didn’t know whom to trust with this precious dress, a cornerstone of my closet, but our feature got me well-read on repairs: It covers everything from cars to clutter.
And often it’s the everyday person who finds solutions. We have a story on the slow food movement: Locals are volunteering at schools to teach our kids where what they eat comes from. We also cover BiblioCommons, a new program that brings social networking to avid readers. So, read on, Columbia, and get your Vox fix.
