If you're planning any trips to Pike Place Market this week, take a moment and pay some respect, attention or even toss in a few bucks to our local buskers (the British lingo for street performer). It's their week, World Busk Week. PhinneWood Blog alerted us to the holiday as well as one of UW facilty members Michael Partington, an international concert classical guitarist who plans to celebrate busking daily throughout Seattle for charity. And if you happen to be in the Market at noon this Sunday, just listen, a new world record is being set for the biggest busk around the world. more ›

The first edition shows what 23rd and Madison looked like in 1957.
