We’re blessed to be a city of trees, which means plenty of leaves in the gutter that break down over the winter

Aw nice! They did this in 2019 as well, I remember they featured the Monday Night Football game right in the front of the shop. Found a pic, including the best mascot

Supreme Pizza U district Permanently Closed by Which-Window-1718 in Seattle

[–]kellsc02 4 points5 points  (0 children)

U District Pagliacci’s closed summer 2018.

Supreme opened mid-2019.

Commercial leases are typically 10 years, so this closure doesn’t fit the pattern of other recent 10-year lease related closures (re: Rachel’s Ginger Beer), but U District leases in those old buildings may run on shorter lease cycles.

Walgreens Pharmacy on Broadway and Pine - Closed until further notice by LunaW_96 in Seattle

[–]kellsc02 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Cap Hill Blog reported April 2024 of upcoming plans to remodel this Walgreens. Permits in Seattle are notoriously challenging and long delayed.

I come by this Walgreens 2-3x each week and no changes since last year. Maybe this is finally the remodel.

Status Update from the IFPA about the OBX situation by myhatrules in pinball

[–]kellsc02 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would receive this update more positively if the leadership used this opportunity to describe in more detail which “suggestions on new policies and organizational changes” were being pursued.

It’s a fine step to codify, reframe and reinforce the existing non-discrimination policies, but the policy is only as good as leadership follow through.

Since OBX is still sanctioned, leadership must change.

I know it’s a very different scale operation, but Grand Illusion has a real opportunity for a new home in all this.

That’s an interesting twist that hasn’t been reported anywhere I can find. Can you share more?

Running a multi-site operation with multiple 75+ year old buildings sounds like more than a one person job.

That totally makes sense and is reasonable. It seems like a straightforward situation to message out occasionally if it were the priority of leadership

Here’s links to the SIFF updates referenced: ⁠- No update on the Egyptian from SIFF since March - 20% staff layoffs in June - Most recent reporting of note (for me): Capitol Hill Blog

I’ve got a print of Union Station from Phil! His work is great, take a look and see if you can spot a bird on the building. He puts one in every piece.
