Capitol Hill Block Party: Great lineup, but I wish that it still had its own domain name.

The 500 block of Pine has been reduced to a gravel parking lot. Somehow, the flat open space guarded by a trio of cranes was a weirdly serene sight.

A peek inside the door of the new “TT” place on Melrose & Olive. Looks like tequilia has arrived.

“Seattle-based (in a Wallingford attic, to be precise), nationally distributed, music and arts magazine Resonance ceases print production in January 2008.”

- Sad news for Resonance. They’ve closed-up shop after fourteen years of publication. [thestranger]

With the construction of AVA, even the Camlin’s neon sign will, like its legendary now-closed Cloud Room, be fading mostly into collective memory.

Foxmaid. I’m simultaneously in love with this store yet afraid to go inside. Probably because I wouldn’t be able to resist buying this alluring stuffed fox. Taxidermy is so hot right now.

Taco Gringos changed up their menu in honor of St. Patrick’s day: Corned Beef & Kraut, Lamb Shepherd’s Pie, Potato/apple hash. I’m convinced this is more art project than restaurant.

This celebration of tusks is next to the escalators from the little train to the baggage claim at SEATAC. Could these possibly be real narwhal tusks?

An adorably tall thin condo tower has been proposed for the site of the old Seattle Trophy Company. It’s in close proximity to El Corazon, which used to be Graceland. Maybe the owner of the penthouse can revive the Egg Room. (via threadcount)
