Neighborhood News Roundup
Dead Baby Bike Race after-party photo by Sea Kay
- My Ballard and Phinney Wood shared a post on the annual Dead Baby Bike Race. With the recent fear-mongering regarding bicyclists in the local media--the bike race could likely have not come at a worse time. We're sure already freaked out Subaru drivers, aren't thrilled to think of the idea of a crudely named (see: hilarious) bike race that celebrates "Mutant Bike Culture."
- Rejoice Francophiles and hipsters not allergic to the sun! Capitol Hill Seattle reports that Cafe Presse has opened a deck to accommodate outside seating. Few things are more French than enjoying a delicious and refined meal at a neighborhood sidewalk cafe, so we're thrilled to have a chance to mimic the experience at our neighborhood pseudo-Parisian cafe.
- The Central District News breathed a sigh of relief and celebrated that this year's Umoja parade was bigger and better than ever.
- The Southlake reported that times have gotten so tough in the newspaper business, that the Seattle Times has had to put two properties up for sale. All told the Times is selling 4 acres of property in the booming South Lake Union neighborhood, the property has been appraised at $32 million. That's a lot of newspaper subscriptions.

Is the new Presse deck due to Nickels' streamlined sidewalk cafe permitting process?
