A REAL ANGEL OUT THERE should consider investing in my dream travel book project, in which I’d go to all the places I’ve always wished to go–including America’s wildest museums.
MEANWHILE CLOSER TO HOME, execs at the company that built Fremont’s gargantuan waterfront office park defended it Friday, after an architect wrote in the P-I that the place was just too big for the neighborhood and too gentrifying to boot. The execs argued that Fremont’s a cleaner, upscalier, and more wholesome place with the offices:
“To appreciate Lake Union Center now, it is helpful to reflect back to 1986, the starting point for redevelopment efforts in Fremont:Â The Red Door Ale House was the Fremont Tavern, not a place for families….”
I dunno ’bout you, but to me the word “tavern” (or the phrase “ale house”) would imply “not a place for families.”
IN OTHER BOOZE NOOZE: Buried in an article about the fact that there’s at lest one winery in every state nowadays is the fact that Wash. state “has added a winery every 20 days since 1997,” and surpassed N.Y. state as the nation’s #2 wine producer and probably its biggest per capita. But can we scarf down enough brie and Breton crackers to go with it?
