- Mid Beacon Hill Blog, as well as Beacon Hill Blog and this very blog you are reading--are all wondering if Seattle will follow Denver's example. In the Mile High city, proximity to light rail raised the value of a home. Will the same be true in the Emerald City? North Beacon Hill residents certainly hope so.
- PhinneyWood tackles an age-old Seattle question, where does Phinney end and Greenwood begin?
- Unhand Boogie, you West Seattle thieves!
- MyBallard is swelling with pride, as their neighborhood was featured in the New York Times yesterday. And while we hate to rain on Ballard's parade, we have to disagree with what the NYT had to say about the neighborhood. Of Ballard and neighboring Fremont, the paper wrote, “Each is undergoing a kind of 21st-century renaissance." To our view, that's wrong--unless of course that renaissance involves cookie-cutter condos and destroying the original characters of the place.
- Holy petty crime and accident spree, Batman! The Central District News's police scanner must have nearly overheated yesterday, because it was sure buzzing with activity.
- Hillku tackles the other Capitol Hill in prose. As a former resident of both hills ourselves, we say they do it mighty successfully.
- Science trumps parking again...!??! Not usually, but it's looking like the laboratory will get its way this time.
- And last but not least on this spooky night, Halloween safety tips courtesy of the Rainier Valley Post and the SPD. On this night of haunting and gallivanting, have fun and be sure to keep your wits about you.
