I remember camping out overnight for Pink Floyd tickets, but I didn't realize that beer releases could generate the same excitement. According to Facebook's Wallingford Community Page, there's a line down the block coming from Bottleworks (1710 N 45th St) awaiting the limited, one bottle per customer, release of a unique Belgian brew (and an accompanying 20th anniversary party). Here's what Bottleworks had to say on Instagram: ‪This Sunday, February 17th, we're celebrating our 20th Anniversary! We are honored to have…

Lincoln High School opened at Interlake Ave N in 1907, but was closed due to low enrollment in 1981. Since then, the building itself has served as an interim location for other schools undergoing their own renovations, and more recently, "Lincoln High" has been operating out of its own interim location on Ravenna Blvd by Green Lake.

This week's snowstorm has thrown garbage pick-up for a loop. I'm pretty used to the standard "if there is a holiday, our Friday morning pickup is delayed to Saturday", but I have no idea what's going on in light of our once in a generation snowstorm and the slush fest that followed. Fortunately, the SPU web site has it all sorted for us: Monday and Tuesday customers’ collection: Wednesday, Feb. 13  [...]If your regular collection day is Monday or Tuesday and your…
