Paul Dorpat, neighborhood historian and itinerant photographer sent in a couple of beautiful shots from around the neighborhood to share: Paul wrote: In the fall - well all year long really - I refer to the trees along 44th between Burke and Wallingford as the "Flame Trees" and I have snapped them many times over the last four autumns. The same is so for the Good Shepherd P-Patch. The detail with the sophisticated rock path leading to two chairs and a…
Phinneywood notes that they've got their own crime wave going on, including a serial robber who targets dentist offices for their cash, drugs and gold fillings. Fremont Universe is helping B.F. Day recruit tutors My Green Lake is offering lessons in how not to be a douchebag, courtesy of someone named Horseknuckle. Hilarity ensues.
