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!

Riding a @kcmetrobus east on NE 75th St all the way to Magnuson Park…feels pretty great, you guys. New Route 79 FTW.
@Roosiehood Hi, now that we are back to operating at 100% capacity the street needed to be re-opened for fire access.
In other local eatery news, apparently @UVillage reopened their southern street to cars again. Was closed and filled with outdoor eating spaces for restaurants in that area.
Kricket Club restaurant now open in the old Pied Piper Alehouse location on NE 65th St. https://www.google.com/amp/s/seattle.eater.com/platform/amp/2021/9/7/22661284/ravenna-kricket-club-plans-to-open-october-2021-preeti-agarwal-chef
Looks like a driver crashed into the bus stop/bike lane at 65th & Roosevelt last night

The U District's runnel is by far the best.
It's wide and the angle to the flare is helpful. Not so sure about the strange extra height at the top of the stairs though.
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.
