No, I STILL don’t know what’s going in, but here’s a few pictures of what has gone (physically) ON the outside of Osaka:
Two lamps and a painted door!

Department store returning to the U Village, but it ain’t Lamonts.
Bloomie’s has a curated selection of brands such as Jimmy Choo and La Mer. The stores offer “interactive experiences” and cocktails. https://st.news/3isV3C4
Shopping by headlamp sounds rather romantic, though. https://twitter.com/ThirdPlaceBooks/status/1612503200044810241
My prediction is that 4 different progressive-ish urbanist-ish yimby-ish candidates and one nimby obstructionist candidate will run, and the progressive that is least palatable to the public will make it to the general election.
And lose to the nimby. https://twitter.com/jcohenwrites/status/1610446353506914305
From the inbox: D4 Councilmember Alex Pedersen just announced he won't seek reelection. That makes 3 of 7 sitting district council members who've announced they're not running (all the district seats are up for reelection this fall)
Last week, one of the tarps had fallen down from the window and I spied what looked like a tall wine rack. It was near where the counter used to be at the old Hot Lips. Hmmmm.
Hot Lips? I googled and found a pizza chain in Portland — and now I’m very hungry as their pies and own brand of sodas (!) looked delicious — but other than that, I don’t think I know what you mean. Can you elaborate?
I suppose a “tall wine rack” is always a good sign, though.
P.S. The fancy lights outside have been on the past couple nights. Very charming.
Yes, Hot Lips was a coffee house on that corner about five years ago. It lasted about a year. Then Osaka, which was next door, expanded and took over the space. I sometimes wonder if the expansion led to its downfall.
Ooo, I would love a coffee house. Or a nice Mexican joint – we’ve almost got food from every nation represented in downtown Ravenna. I dig that.
Muddy Waters – I love you, but sometimes I wanna sit.
Thanks for your prying eyes, C. Keep it up.
Bah! It’s more Indian. BERNU’S INDIAN RESTAURANT, to be precise.
I love Indian, don’t get me wrong. But there’s an Indian restaurant across the street (Himalayan Kitchen). Doesn’t make much business sense to me.
