The Grove is closing

Early in the day an anonymous tipster passed along a rumor that The Grove was closing. Sounded like a good thing to blog about, but I didn’t want to pass along a rumor that could (potentially) be damaging, so I fired off an email to The Grove to see if … Continue reading

Weekend paranormal roundup

Not only was this weekend the debut of the Project Blue Book festival in Redmond, but it was also the culmination of the week-long bigfoot search I blogged (and totally forgot) about way back in January.

D’s Hobbies has moved

Just a quick post to note that D’s Hobbies has moved—down the street from their former location at the corner of 10th and Greenwood to a space in the 7th and Greenwood shopping center. (You know the one I mean, with the Thriftway grocery, sharing the lot with Papa John’s.) … Continue reading
