• WaMu really can't catch a break. The Belltowner and PhinneyWood report that their neighborhood WaMu branches were robbed over the weekend.
• Mid Beacon Hill explores "cheap South End fun," including a place that should be on the hipster street-of-dreams, and the Museum of Communications. Being a tourist in your own city is totally fun, so the idea of being a tourist in your own neighborhood strikes us as completely delightful.
• So that's why we didn't have power on Saturday night in the CD. Of course, since we had no power we couldn't log on to check Central District News for updates, but it's nice to know now.

Nickelsville has moved for the third time in about as many weeks, this time setting up camp in the University District. The homeless encampment has moved from Discovery Park to a parking lot owned by the University Christian Church on 15th Avenue Northeast. Organizers are hopeful this will become a more permanent home for the encampment, but as with the camp's previous incarnations, the city most likely has other plans for Nickelsville. Plans which seem to involve forcing the camp to move week by week to opposite ends of the city, with the constant threat of arrest for campers and organizers, despite the fact the city has no better housing option for residents. more ›

• Kapow! Coffee, inventors of the Ride the S.L.U.T. t-shirts, the proposers of a 300-foot Paul Allen statue, and the makers of the best espresso in the Cascade neighborhood, are looking for a new home after their landlord decided to open up his own coffee shop in the location.
• Capitol Hill Seattle gets a little snarky about John Curley and we love them for it.
• The Belltowner has the scoop on the sudden closure of the McLeod Residence. The building isn't up to fire code and the entirety of Seattle's hipster elite are in mourning.

• We may have lost the Sonics, but we have gained a lingerie football team!
• The Green Lake branch of the Seattle Public Library is temporarily closed due to mold according to PhinneyWood. It used to be the algae and mold at the lake you had to worry about, but apparently the mold has spread across the street.
• The city has pushed back another deadline for residents of Nickelsville to vacate the encampment's latest location in Discovery Park. Nickel-odeons now have until Wednesday at noon to leave and find alternate housing--a task which, if it simply took a day of work, we are certain all the residents would have done long ago.

• West Seattle Blog has the latest update on Nickelsville. WSB also pointed us to a Nickelsville Google Group where residents and supporters are posting updates and minute-to-minute news.
• MyBallard has photos of hygiene stations planned for neighborhood homeless car camps. Maybe Mayor Nickels could talk to some Ballard community activists about options for homeless residents, at least Ballard seems to be dealing with the issue in a humane way.
• The most interesting meta post we've seen in an eternity: the strange (and occassionally yucky) search terms that lead folks to Tacoma's crime blog, Lights & Sirens.

• We would go to this new West Seattle restaurant for the name alone: "OK Corral Sam'mich Slingers." Also the words "pulled pork" and "sammiches" are featured largely on their "sammich"-board, so we are 100% sold.
• Our friends at the Rainier Valley Post had an epic day of blogging yesterday, covering everything from the ongoing violence in the Othello neighborhood to updates on Nickelsville and "The Jungle" (two of Seattle's homeless encampments) to a call for volunteers for a Seward Park clean-up this weekend.
• Seattle Metblogs answers a plaguing question brought to us by a distressed reader yesterday: the Alibi Room is a pizza joint now? Sorry, jessejb, but it seems to be true.

• West Seattle Blog has the update on Nickelsville and the encampment's scheduled ouster.
• Losing your glasses sucks. Losing your glasses on the bus, and knowing they will be donated to someone in need of glasses but unable to afford them, sucks slightly less.
• Ooh this sounds delicious and delightful. MyBallard announces 2009's "Dinner and Movie" series, with dinner courtesy of Volterra paired with some truly classic food films.
