Ed King S e p t e m b e r   1 1 ,   2 0 1 5    ·  Shared with Public A Peddler's License in Washington, DC By ED KING I arrived in Washington, DC from Boston in the fall of 1972 intending to start a street-peddling operation selling handmade Moroccan sheepskin wallets from my supplier in New York.

Ed King So, this one guy is looking through the sample copy of 'Alternative Facts' and he looks at the sign and he says, "You sellin' these for twenty-seven cents each?!"

I guess he was disappointed because for a second there he thought he was really gonna get the buy of a lifetime!
