Neighborhood News And Local Blog Round-Up
- Dan at bigasscity (the blog has returned, thankfully, to its original title) has found Seattle's most embarrassing condo project. "Escala is the love child of pathological excess," he says.
- Seattle MetBlogs sent a representative to see Mount Eerie at the Fremont Abbey last weekend, and Josh's thoughtful report is in: "Description and structural unpredictability aside, the really certain thing is that however it turns out, it will be its own kind of beautiful."
- Beacon Hill Blog turned us on to a new blog, BeHi Bonsai; we now have an excellent resource for pictures of weird shrubbery in that neighborhood. So far, this is our favorite.

- 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.

- West Seattle Blog and CHS documented yesterday especially carefully. To celebrate the anniversary of the first Denny Party landing on Alki forever ago, the Southwest Seattle Historical Society is putting together a time capsule that will include print-outs of Thursday's blog entries, among other various and sundry detritus.
- For every headline about county budget cuts, there are hundreds of people who will have their day-to-day lives affected by the loss of the eliminated programs. Rainier Valley Post asked Public Health spokesman James Apa about the projected impacts on their specific community.
- Aarwenn's CHS post about catching a glimpse into others' private lives, both beautiful and thought-provoking, breathes new life into the idea that one neighborhood could be the heart of a city. Even if you don't live in Capitol Hill (and we know many of you don't), this one's worth the read for poetic value alone.

- Beacon Hill Blog says hello to "Hello Bicycle"--a new addition to the neighborhood. We also extend our salutations to the Beacon Hill Blog, making its first appearance on the roundup today.
- Capitol Hill Seattle reminds us that Halloween is just around the corner, it's time to finish up the final touches on our costume, and we still need to decide where to celebrate. Happily, CHS also gives us a few options for Hill-based Hallow's Eve fun.
