If you can't beat the recession, wear it. That's the philosophy of Daniel Brabson, an enterprising Nashvillian who's found a way to put the "fun" in "fundamentally unchanging economic decline."
Brabson is one of the guiding lights behind Recession Junction, an online store dedicated to making sweet lemonade of our current citrus avalanche. Their specialty is recession-themed clothing, bumper stickers and beer glasses. The apparel at Recession Junction is pretty much limited to T-shirts--shipping barrels is costly, y'know.
Brabson previously ran the beloved First Avenue dart parlor the Boardroom during its too-short life, and he was among the core group that helped save the Belcourt a decade ago. His brother James handles the designs. Already Recession Junction is drawing attention online, so it's nice to know somebody's business is booming.
If only they could do well enough to put themselves out of an industry. Here's to Recovery Junction!
