• The Slog, with the help of the McLeod Residence, is debating if grilled cheese will be what brings foodies around to American cheese. The McLeods assert that American cheese is the unquestionable king of grilled cheese--we're not so sure. Sure, American cheese melts like plastic, but we've always actually found that a bit telling.

• Capitol Hill Seattle is feeling a wee bit concerned about the increased number of both abandonded buildings and panhandlers on Broadway.
• The Rainier Valley Post, West Seattle Blog, and Capitol Hill Seattle are all talking about Mayor Greg Nickels' proposed upcoming car-free days, which will block cars from using certain streets in all three neighborhoods. Don't worry. It's no revolution. The car-free "days" are actually only a couple hours on a couple weekends.
