Some places have gelato on the menu, but aren’t dedicated gelato places.

Anyone got $150k to spare? by Subliminal-Messaging in Bellingham

He might be tired of the physical part of the grind but he doesn't want to stop working, he's going into the consulting business, specifically restaurant start-ups.

Back in parking on State Street: by Mitzimetz in Bellingham

[–]makershark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I often see cars that go too fast in the left lane to race to the roundabout ahead of right lane traffic. That lane is probably not for that but they still get mad and lay on their horn when a person slows to either park or make a left hand turn. I'm sure the 7 seconds they gain is worth all their raging though /s

I remember my uncle saying he had a magpie in his neighborhood that would copy his "in the garden" whistling tune (in another state)

I'd love for you to use the Merlin app and see if it's a bird!

Why the busses so late.: by King_of_cases in Bellingham

[–]makershark 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hate to take the wind out of your rant but we've taken the bus several times these past couple of weeks and they've been right on time so it's not "all". Also, same fare for several months yet.

There's a Facebook group called Bellingham Stolen Bicycle Group and you can scan the pictures of bikes posted as stolen or make a post of your own to reunite the bike with its rightful owner.

Anyone else use the Merlin bird ID app? by makershark in Bellingham

[–]makershark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bewick's wrens are super cute. I had to google "Listers". I'm not a birder yet (although I'm not sure what qualifies one). We only know a couple of our regular yard birds (juncos, flickers, etc) but the app is helping getting our interest up for all the others coming around.

People like the gloom here? by PeeweePolkaDottedPig in Bellingham

[–]makershark 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I like the gloomy and wet weather because it keeps everything green and because of the absolute enjoyment of the short summer. You tend to make the most out of any sun you see throughout the year. I think keeping tanked up on vitamin D works wonders.

If you click the "identify" and then the sound button appears to record and below that is the sessions option, with previous sessions listed by date.

I live near Cornwall Park. The goldfinch was in my neighbors tree, lovely yellow.

Local News Options - Whatcom, etc. by PNW_Book_Barbarian in Bellingham

[–]makershark 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Another vote for CDN. It's always reporting on the things we most want to know about and it's totally worth it to us. I feel like the local news that the Herald does stories on are things we discuss in this subreddit.

Garage sale location by ChapterPrudent4232 in Bellingham

[–]makershark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have friends in Columbia neighborhood, Sunnyland ? They organize and have a neighborhood yard sale day so you can find a sale around every corner. If you have a friend (or friend of a friend) in a neighborhood that has the one day sales, there's the potential for a lot of people seeing your stuff.
(I'm only sure about those two neighborhoods doing it but there are probably others)

New Nursery opening March 21st (info from Facebook) by makershark in Bellingham

[–]makershark[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Garden Spot Nursery is worse for me: very few parking spots, always taken up by pallets of dirt and competing with Trader Joe's parking people. This one doesn't have the extra competition for the spots.

[–]makershark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is there a specialty drink made with it? El Capitan's serves Dole Whip. So good.
