The Capitol Hill Community Council just unveiled the "Capitol Hill Discount Dollar," a printable coupon that qualifies the bearer for a sweet 10 percent discount at over a dozen participating neighborhood businesses. South Lake Union has the "SLU Card" with varying local discounts available to anyone renting, leasing, or owning in a Vulcan-affiliated building, and Vulcan owns everything down there (right?) so it's almost like a neighborhood card. That does it, we're going on record: this is a trend we can fully support. Buy local, get to know your neighborhood businesses, strengthen your community, don't feel so alone in the world. Fantastic idea, and we'd like to see more businesses participating.

It's no secret that Seattlest, like every right-thinking film fan in this town, loves the Cinerama. (Most recent visit: the restored print of The Godfather a couple of weekends ago.)

• Metroblogging Seattle reported bit-by-bit the developing story of a pedestrian cab-scooter-van accident, which proved to be fatal. A 60-year-old passenger in the pedi-cab was killed after the open-air cab alternative suffered a mechanical malfunction and ran a red light.
• PhinneyWood stays purely hyper-local reporting on two missing neighborhood pets: Sadie (a dog) and Kaitlyn Marie (a pure bred cat). While it might seem tedious or tiny to report, you better believe we'd use every electronic outlet we had to find them if one of the Seattlest guard cats went missing. We hope these folks are reunited with their pets soon.
• The Southlake reports that, even though everyone else had their block party a couple nights ago, they're going to have theirs this Friday. The Southlake Union Block Party will be hosted at the "South Lake Union Discovery Center" which is a neighborhood-positive sounding name for a Vulcan property advertisement. This year there is actually a draw, though. A few decent local music acts and it's free, until you want to eat or drink. Even then, it's just $1 (that goes to non-profits) from a variety of area restaurants. Money you can actually feel good about spending in South Lake Union.

FACT: The Seattle Cinerama is not Seattle's original Cinerama. That'd be the Paramount, which sacrificed 1600 seats to fit the screen and three projection booths required. They screened Cinerama films from September 1, 1956, to January 26, 1958. The Cinerama we know and love today opened January 24, 1963, as the Martin Cinerama. (The Paramount twice installed and removed CineMiracle, a rival technology that never took off.)
