Neighborhood News Roundup

"Scary Clown" (indeed) by Jay Cox
- The Daily Weekly reports that the City of Seattle has successfully sold its scandalous public toilets on EBay....for over $80,000 less per toilet than they'd hoped.
- While we know it means our Seattle Native card could be revoked, we are still less than thrilled that a new clown statue in honor of JP Patches is set to be unveiled this Sunday. We hate clowns, we always have, and since JP Patches was the big local clown during our childhood, we kinda blame him. The idea of having to walk by a creepy clown statue while drunk in Fremont gives us the shivers.
- My Ballard has photographic proof that bike lanes have been painted on 8th Avenue between Market and Leary.
- Capitol Hill Seattle reports that the Seattle Faerie Festival will be held this weekend at Volunteer Park. (Will avoid all obvious jokes...) So if you're walking around Volunteer Park this weekend and spot folks dressed as woodland creatures with wings, do not fear--it is not a sci-fi attack or acid flashback.
