Golden Olive is Golden Again

Last weekend, as I perused the Wallyhood forums, I read about Golden Olive--the quaint, Greek restaurant that's tucked away on 45th, next to City Cellars.  After being closed for nearly two months for a remodel, Golden Olive re-opened last Thursday.  Between the enthusiasm in the forums, a tip from reader Paul B., and Mr. Wallyhood's review back in August '09,  I was intrigued. The restaurant's cozy atmosphere made me feel as though I was sitting in my own dining room, surrounded by…

We had the great pleasure of attending TEDx Rainier this past weekend. You've probably heard of TED: a multi-day, single track conference in which great thinkers from around the world and from all disciplines (and, ideally, from many disciplines at once) give powerful, inspirational talks. If you haven't heard of it, visit the TED web site: the talks are all available for viewing on demand, and they are truly, stunningly fascinating. To attend TED, though, you must apply, and for those…

The Street Treats truck is coming!

As a kid growing up in the suburbs, hearing the jingling bells of the ice cream truck was one of the best things about summer.  Living in a tract housing development that had 2.5 children for every home, our purchases were easily the driver’s entire take for the day.  We’d be in the middle of a kickball game in the cul-de-Sac, or building a fort in the back yard when the bells beckoned us to drop whatever it was we were…
