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!

Did you know our Sand Point Housing campus was once the site of major milestones in aviation history and innovation? It's a fascinating story, and one that was recently brought to colorful life by several Sand Point teens and the Friends of Magnuson Park: https://bit.ly/3hEFKT2

JUST IN: Washington state's indoor mask mandate for schools and public indoor spaces will now end at the end of the day on March 11.
Private businesses and local governments can still enforce their own mask mandates, should they choose. https://twitter.com/GovInslee/status/1498373784381755394
In light of new [CDC] guidance and continued decreases in hospitalization rates, WA – along with OR and CA – will be adjusting the timing of our statewide mask requirement to end after March 11.

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.
