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!

Old land use news out of the Wedgwood Community Council newsletter that we *just* read (sorry): the Wedgwood Ale House is for sale. As are a bunch of other properties on NE 35th St: http://www.wedgwoodcc.org/2021/05/27/wedgwood-ale-house-more-changes-35th-ave-ne-perhaps-on-the-horizon-which-were-monitoring/
Wedgwood to Roosevelt Neighborhood Greenway is actually happening! We didn’t dream it after all!
@RavennaBlog @seattledot It's finally happening!

A little traffic calming action in NE 68th Street’s future?
(Based on the downhill speed of a truck that passed by after we took these pics, it would be welcome. 👍 @seattledot)
The Montlake Bridge is experiencing technical issues. All NB & SB lanes blocked. Use alternate routes.
There’s a Quidditch game happening at Dahl Field right now. 👀
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.
