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.

Me thinks that chandelier was part of the Bumbershoot exhibit as well...
Are you talking about the text in the bottom left of the corner, between the rails? Because if so, it says "GALLERY". I don't see the "GALLARY" part and am confused.
we'er going to go ahead and pretend that was an intentional spelling mistake, Zee.
Can't say for sure... but it sure looks like Mandy Greer's work. I think she has a show at McLeod Residence - Parlor.
It's the SAM Gallery Store at the corner of 3rd & University.
I take it the misspelling in this article's title is also intentional, then? Downtonw?
Isn't this SAM Gallery for art rental? Check the "GALLERY" in the window from this page:

@5, thank you. @6, that one is actually intentional, yes.
I wrote in with the Chocolate Box sighting yesterday, and returned this morning poised to snap a photo of the sign. I was both relieved and dismayed to find that they had been taken down, but the Craigslist ad still proudly displays their affinity for "desert."
Yep! That's Mandy Greer's recent work, costumes for Seattle’s Book-It Repertory Theater’s production of "A Tale of Two Cities" this past winter.
It's the rental/sales gallery at SAM. Mandy Greer is amazing and she does have an installation at McLeod Residence right now and you should check it out if you like her work. It is a sight to be seen.

Mandy Greer's installation in SAM Gallery's University Street window is called Sanguinary. It contains elements of her previous installation at Bumbershoot along with costumes from a production at Book it Theater, re-assembled with new elements for this installation. It will remain in the window through July 12.
SAM Gallery, Art Sales and Rental, regularly presents site specific installations in our University Street window (between 3rd and 4th Avenue). The next one will be Fold, by John Grade. This will be Grade's second work in a series Seven Types of Catastrophe.
