Yep. For those not familiar with the area, LS headquarters are almost literally a stones throw from the White House (read : very expensive real estate).

The "Hungry Academy" mention is easy to miss, but that's actually an entire floor unto itself.

So true, also surprised they didn't have a super bowl commercial.

It's like the dot com hype all over again but with crazy short term revenue that's unsustainable
