You may remember back in October, when Madi alerted us that 45th Street in front of Dick's held the dubious honor of being the most dangerous intersection for cyclists in the city. It looks like the city has taken some steps to address the problem: The Seattle Bike Blog reports that "SDOT has installed a buffered bike lane in front of the popular burger joint. The lane replaces what previously was empty space on the roadway. The extra-wide lane on this segment of…
North Seattle Sarah got to attend the "soft opening" of The Publican, the new restaurant and bar by the Brouwer's Cafe / Bottleworks crew opening where Bandolero once stood in Tangletown (2253 N 56th Street).

Imagine taking a walk to Gas Works Park and finding a life-sized gingerbread house perched atop Kite Hill. The roof is tiled with chocolate snaps and festooned with gumdrops! The eaves are dripping with snow-white frosting and, wow! Look! There are people climbing on the steps of the house to enjoy its sugary goodness! Just thinking about it brings out the kid in me.
