I sent an email to Mayor McGinn today supporting the KEXP/Open Platform proposal for the old Fun Forest space. I'm so dismayed at the committee recommending that fucking Chihuly museum. And of course, the Chihuly group is all organized and shit, getting people to call and email in support. It does crack me up that the "Tiger Breeding" operation made the cut :)

Oh cool, that's the walking on water guy! I'd love for them to work in a chunk of the viaduct, but yeah - something has got to keep the area vital in the off-season. Covered, water/snowproof sheltered areas where you can watch the ferries come and go.

what crap that chihuly museum is, what wasted space
― sam acre, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 04:14 (thirteen years ago) link
I love and miss Seattle but the idea of a Chihuly museum in Seattle Center is exactly the kind of silliness that makes me shake my head at the place. That, and the Market Optical TV spots, maybe the worst ads I've ever seen.

The smoke pouring over I-5 from the Sunny Jim plant smelled like peanuts, as did my car all day yesterday.

the worst thing about the chihuly museum is that there are underused parking lots on all sides of seattle center. really, you're so into ugly glass art you need a museum for it? great, buy one of those lots and expand seattle center *out* instead of taking public space. dicks. as someone somewhere else said, "we're taking ideas from tacoma?!?"

I get most of the landmarks in that picture above, but what are all the locals taking pictures of around the fremont bridge? It can't all be the troll.

NW Tea Festival next weekend at Seattle Center. I went last year - $5 gets you a teacup and a big bag of freebies and all the tea you can sample.

As festivals go, it's pretty small scale - maybe 2 dozen vendors. This is such a coffee town, tea caffeine doesn't touch us.

I haven't been to seattle in over two years now but am going to be soon - where should I eat?
― joygoat, Thursday, 30 September 2010 05:07 (thirteen years ago) link
my 2 new favorite breakfast places, both south of downtown:
http://www.thesalvadoreanbakery.com/
http://www.yelp.com/biz/pasteleria-y-panaderia-la-ideal-seattle
the latter isn't a sit-down place, but you can take pastries and go over to where they're tearing down the south park bridge and sit and eat and look at the river.

Joygoat: If you're in the mood for great soup at a good bar go to the Hopvine Pub, on 15th and Mercer.
Sandwiches: between noon and 4 only and only Tue-Fri, is Salumi, in Pioneer Square. Arrive early if you plan to eat early, but if you want to just wing it show up around 3. They'll be out of a lot of stuff but there won't be a line, and their leftovers are still good.
Chinese: Hing Loon on Weller and Maynard (near King St.) in the I.D. No atmosphere, great food.

I went to the Chef Bar and Restaurant on 23rd and Jackson the other night, got $9 of real fine Ethiopian food, me and the lady friend couldn't finish it. Katenga = amazing.
