Breaking ground at the pit?

We have it on good (neighbor) authority that plans are inching forward to fill the festering pit on 40th and Stone Way N. Reader Mike tells us that he spoke to someone who will be working on the foundation; and recently, he and his fiance spoke with a Geo Engineer who said that work may start on or around January 17.  Mike told us that the neighbors in the immediate area have not yet been officially notified. At this point, nothing…

Neighborhood Matching Funds

I recently wrote a quick post about the 46th Street Mural Project survey.  A commenter to that article, "walkinroun," indicated s/he isn't really that fond of the type of public art the mural produced, nor some of the other public art projects in Seattle.  I have to agree.  I mean, I like the Lady Bug and the Sea Turtle traffic circles, but think we could've done even more with them.  So here's our chance to create something different: Seattle Department of…

Folks in the Tangletown area will be pleased to know that the new 56th Street Market (2201 N 56th St.) is scheduled to open some time in mid-January.  Although a date hasn't yet been finalized, owners PJ and Sami told me that once the liquor license is approved and the shelving is up, they'll only need a week to stock the the new store.

Holiday Traditions

I'm not a sucker for much, but holiday traditions really get me.  They are the one time of year when people everywhere, across various cultures and at varied times across the globe, people everywhere are trying to do something PLEASANT. Christmas lights, a succulent ham, shiny garland snaked around a colorful tree, winter solstice feasts, pine boughs made into homemade wreaths.  Long holiday office lunches, and frosted cookies that taste better than they look.  The Figgy Pudding Street Corner Caroling Event,…
