The NFB Independence Market is open from 8-5 Mon-Fri for walk-ins as well
as by appointment in certain circumstances. In addition, you can purchase
items from there via the internet by visiting _www.nfb.org_
(http://www.nfb.org) or by phone by calling 410-659-9314. My Agency has actually switched
to the Independence Market as our sole provider for Braille paper, 20/20
pens, and many other items our staff uses. If you ask them to ship the
item, it usually departs that same day and arrives quickly. My experience with
other distributors such as the Columbia Lighthouse and the Iowa Commission
is that it takes about a week for them to process the request and another
week for it to arrive.
Good luck.

believe the Columbia Lighthouse for the Blind may also have a store in the
DC area. There is also the NFB Independence Market in Baltimore, but am not
sure whether they have a store or are strictly mailorder.

in D.C./northern Virginia purchase your canes. Is there a store for the
blind that sells canes, braille paper, etc. for the blind close by?
