Happy #ThrowbackThursday, everyone! With Friday only a day away, take a break and reread "Deeper Into Leather," a Lincoln Now article about the material we all know and love. In it, a leather expert shares some wisdom.

If you have an interest in fashion, you'll enjoy the latest addition to the Lincoln Now website, an article called "Tied Together." It's about Jahmal Landers and Jiah Sisco and their founding of Bowyer and Fletcher, a bowtie shop in Portland, OR. Jahmal got the idea when he was living in Taiwan, and quickly reached out to Jiah.

One of the most recent additions to the Lincoln Now website tells the story of Eugene Chung. Chung is the founder and CEO of Penrose Studios, the force behind a new virtual reality film called Allumette, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Have you ever thought about what it would be like to be an oyster farmer? To get out of bed when the tide is lowest, even if that's at 2:00 AM, and wade out into the night to seek your harvest? A new Lincoln Now piece about Brett Bishop and his family business, Little Skookum Shellfish Growers, discusses just that.

“We do feel that there are a lot of people in our generation who are like-minded in wanting to feel a connection with a ritual or practice. A lot of that’s been eliminated from our day-to-day lives… Straight razor shaving [offers] that connection of doing something analog in a very digital world.”

A brand new Lincoln Now article, published only yesterday, revolves around Scott Evans and his four Salt Lake City restaurants: Hub & Spoke, the East Liberty Tap House, Finca, and Pago. Pago is the newest one, coming to life in 2009. Local produce and rotating menus make dishes fresh and delicious.

"Even though they seemingly fell into this business, Mark and Fran are passionate about preserving history while delivering a quality product that delights their customers: Their mills are based around 1850s technology, they mill the local grain on authentic millstones – always fresh to order – and then they sell it and ship it out to restaurants and artisan bakeries in the area."
