- Hey McDonnell Douglas Boeing, how’s that whole foreign outsourcing thing working for ya?
- Add to the endlessly growing list of cool places disappearing: the Alki Tavern, where bikers once held drunken brawls in front of a spectacular Elliott Bay view. Yep, the real estate’s going for luxury condos. Damn.
- Already gone before we could say goodbye: Costa’s Opa, Fremont’s anchor Greek eatery for 32 years. The villain in this story is the same as the one in the Queen Anne Easy Street Records disappearance: unChaste Bank.
- The NY Times has officially “discovered” Pike/Pine. Does that mean the place is, you know, “over”?
- City bureaucrats still don’t want meals for the homeless to be served, you know, where the homeless are.
- There might be nothing sicker, and sadder, than allegations of sexual harassment at King County’s sex crimes unit.
- Not every Catholic priest does horrible things to boys. At least one’s been caught dealing meth and having sex with (adult) cross-dressers.
- Atari has faced “Game Over” before. But this time, its fate is in the hands of obscure holding companies and hedge funds.
- Last week’s Saturday Night Live tribute to the tropes of (clothed dialogue scenes in) ’70s softcore movies definitely qualifies as a “10 to 1” sketch, the edgier or just odd stuff often snuck in at the show’s end.
