And the Gift Bag Goes To...

Also: Rebranding Petaluma & Candles That Smell Like Artists
1

This week, on Press Pass, we dive into:

  • The baffling attempt to rename Petaluma’s north-of-Washington district as... The Now District (yawn). My superior alternative? NoBo—because every cool district name needs two syllables and a vowel.

  • There is more shit in an Oscar gift bag than you can possibly imagine.

  • A candle that smells like an artist’s studio. (Because who doesn’t want their home to reek of linsneed oil and existential dread?)
