Neighborhood News and Local Blog Roundup

- Tucked amidst some mundane park board's order of business today is a titillating issue indeed: a new proposal about nudity at public parks. West Seattle Blog has all the details.
- We're not too keen on hate speak and "Jesus Hates Sin" signs up here on Capitol Hill, especially parading in front of one of the few late-night diners. So, just a warning: come here with the "God Hates ...." placards, and you might get maced in the face.
- The Rainier Valley Post celebrates some gorgeous new statues who moved into the neighborhood seemingly overnight.
- Ooooh! New local blog obsession: Vintage Seattle. Special thanks to the Central District News, who introduced us to it.
- My Ballard says that neighborhood hipster boutique Blackbird has been named as one of the 50 most influential men’s stores in America. It is the 11th most influential. We can say after browsing there once and almost dying of sticker shock, it might also be the most expensive.
- It may have an unfortunate name--Fightin' Cock Roaster--but Magnolia's newest restaurant does look yummy if the photos are any indication.
