The West Hoodies
Description: Want to go cut a rug down at a place called The Jug? Well, Linda Lou and her gun-happy boyfriend probably won't be there, but an altercation between Ronnie Van Zant and another patron at The Jug Saloon in Jacksonville, Florida, inspired one of Lynyrd Skynyrd's most memorable songs. You can still go grab a beer there, though it's worth noting that it was called the West Tavern when Van Zant had his run-in. The band changed the name of the bar to make it sound cooler and the bar returned the favor a few years ago in a nod to the hit song.
Description: In the seventh season of the magnificent drama "The West Wing" by Aaron Sorkin, they flashed forward 3 years to the dedication ceremony of President Bartlet's Presidential Library. It was a tender moment, and well constructed too. At once, it answered questions about the future and opened new ones about what we would see in the episodes to come. Overall it left the impression that, no matter what happened next, Jed Bartlet would leave a lasting legacy. His views, his politics, and his passion would live onward in this other world. This store is a chance to pretend that maybe, just maybe, that legacy lives on in this world. We could use that now more than ever.
