OK, let’s see if this makes sense. The Electric Maid is a volunteer-run co-op across the street from the Takoma Park Metro. It is community-owned, meaning the rent is paid through personal donations and cover charges collected from local bands playing there. One Saturday saw the group hosting an event against domestic violence and projecting an Eve Ensler film against the wall. Check the website for upcoming progressive events.
