Visit any ten businesses in Dogtown in April, get your passport “validated” at each place, and get a free Dogtown T-shirt at Nos Books (limit one per person, while supplies last). Passports can be found at Lucky Horse, Dough Co, Shelf Love, Mars, Nos Books, and other area businesses.

A good community can feel like traveling the world while only going a few blocks. In Dogtown you can enjoy food from Mexico to Africa, hear music from the latest rock to ancient spirituals, and go wherever your imagination takes you through a book or a film. It’s all here.

Turn in your completed passport for a free T-shirt at Nos Books during their normal operating hours (except April 25).

Plus, this passport has special offers and exclusive deals. See the world without leaving Des Moines.
