Downtonw Storefronts
This email showed up in the Seattlest inbox this morning:
I was walking to work this morning on Pine near the Market and walked past a business that has been in-progress for a few months, The Chocolate Box. It looks like it's gearing up to open, but I'm starting to question who, exactly, they'd like to work there.First, they have 10-15 signs in the front windows proudly exclaiming
"WE'ER HIRING!" (mis-spelling is theirs). I just walked by, shaking
my head, thinking it was some cruel joke being played on my
blurry-eyed self on a Monday morning...Then I saw their Craigslist job listing
(http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/fbh/343661350.html) with this
magnificent piece:
"We're hiring food and chocolate lovers who like people as much as
their desert .."DESERT!! Gah!
I'm thinking about picking up an application just so I can fill it
with grammatical and spelling errors...
Seattlest isn't really in a position to go all grammar nazi on anyone, but you'd think they could get "we're hiring" right. Hopefully they're better at selling chocolate boxes than they are at spelling.
We came across a storefront that caught our interest Downtown yesterday as well, and we snapped a picture but failed to write down the store name or address. You can see in the picture that it says "GALLARY somethingsomething" but even in the large version it isn't entirely readable. Someday our cameraphone will always know its GPS coordinates and we'll be able to go back via Google fancy Maps and find out where, exactly, we were when the picture was taken, but, at least for us, that day has not yet arrived. Anyone know where this is?
It looks an artist from one of Bumbershoot's shows last year that we talked about here a bit down towards the bottom. Somewhere on Seattlest there's a better picture, but we're having trouble locating it.
