Neighborhood News and Local Blog Roundup

but that doesn't make this shot any less delightful.

Sable Verity wishes us all a Happy Thanksgiving, unless of course we get shot and killed before the holiday, which is becoming all too common in Seattle these days. The blog notes that this weekend, 11 people were shot in five separate incidents and one man was stabbed--all within a 36-hour time period.
Seems like everyone in local politics has a blog these days, including Seattle City Council member Tim Burgess. Yesterday Councilmen Burgess talked about the city budget and youth violence in Seattle, a topic that desperately needs to be addressed, preferably last Friday before 11 people were shot in 36 hours.
The Rainier Valley Post covered one of this weekend's shootings, which left two teenagers wounded. The shooting, which took place at Rainier Avenue South and South Cloverdale, is believed to be connected to the deadly weekend shooting at Southcenter Mall.
Oooh! Thanks to the latest blog on the block, Capitol Hillebrities, for introducing us to this super neat jewelry. It's called growing jewelry and it takes the idea of a green thumb to a whole new place.
Turns out even being a famous house from a movie can't help you sell in this crummy market. The Southlake reports that the Lake Union houseboat made famous in Sleepless in Seattle has been taken off the market. The home was put on the market in April and never found a buyer.
We are absolutely loving the Beacon Hill Blog's semi-regular photo post of Beacon Hill. Yesterday's entry was especially enchanting.
Little Orly's, maker of delicious caramel apples, is leaving its home-base in Ballard for a bigger space.
Central District News waxes poetic about an unmoving Cadillac Sedan deVille they spot daily.
The Big Blog reports that a Friday fundraiser held in West Seattle, raised $11,000 for Amanda Knox's family.

FYI - There's an extra quote in the URL about the Caddy, making it inoperable.
