Neighborhood News and Local Blog Roundup
The Original Dick's by Seattlest Flickr photographer grundlepuck
- West Seattle Blog reports that former Garfield Bulldog, Washington Husky, and current Portland Trailblazer Brandon Roy, will be dedicating a new basketball court at the Delridge Community Center next Wednesday. We remember Roy as one of the tallest kids walking the halls of GHS and it's great to see him succeeding and giving back to the local community.
- Capitol Hill Seattle reports what we noticed aghast yesterday--Dick's on Broadway is closed for construction. Thankfully, there's nothing major to panic about, as they will reopen this Thursday.
- Local blogger Sable, of The Sable Verity is on fire! She posted 25 separate posts yesterday, many of which were about the presidential election and Sarah Palin. Tucked amongst the politics posts, was an insightful personal piece on race, cultural competency, and intentions. Sable seems to be equal parts smart and sassy. Her blog's tag-line reads: "You can disagree, but I’ll still be right." And, for today, we don't have a single word of disagreement.
- The Rainier Valley Post has an inspiring list of local parks popping up for one day only on PARK(ing) Day. Next Friday (the 19th) a number of "pocket parks" will spring up around the city in not park-y places for you to relax. And, if you're looking to do some good and enjoy some September sun, volunteers are still needed to make the event happen.
