Can't Miss It: Thanksgiving Eve
Bell Square, you have generously offered abundant retail and restaurant options to two entire generations now. We remember back when you still housed the Bon Marche, back when we could still get chicken pot pie at Marie Callender's; our parents remember you back when Nordstrom was known best for shoes and a body could still shop at Frederick & Nelson. In middle school, you more than clothed us: you entertained us. And in our twenties, you more than entertained us: you employed us. Happy 62nd birthday! We hope the Freeman family is proud and maybe even buys another car, or something, to celebrate the passing of another super-successful year of shopping.

Who remembers it before they enclosed the mall? a bunch of low-rise buildings, an old funky movie theater, trees, things like that....
Wait..wheres Bellevue? What efficient, fast, modern rail line do I take to get there?
Jesse, my friend: Metro #550 or #545 both work GREAT.
And Simonian, when they tried to open that theater it was smack dab in WWII. They weren't allowed to open it until they suggested it would "boost morale" on the homefront. Fascinating (to me)!
Cool story about the theater, Katelyn. That was where I saw my first movie in a theater, which I believe was some Disney nature "documentary." Not Bambi, which I think I saw at the John Danz. Also Star Trek: The Movie at the John Danz a few years later, after having an excellent burger at the bowling alley next door, which is now Borders. Now if you'll pardon me, I need to go take my geritol.
heheh. High-five Jesse
