The Bolt bus stops at King Street, so I think I'll be heading there one of these days to have an adventure in Seattle. Thanks for the great information, John. :-)

ReplyDelete(i haven't seen a meme specific to showing off collections. doesn't mean one doesn't exist somewhere, though. as for a master list of them, i've only seen folks share their favorites either on their blog sidebar or on a separate page on their blog - like i have 'favorite link-ups' as a tab on my site. i know nancy at www.aruraljournal.com has a bunch of memes she participates in. you might want to stop and view her site or page sometime!)
ReplyDeleteWe have a similar edifice in downtown St. Paul which is finally get the attention/renovation it deserves. My grandfather was a chef on the run between St. Paul and )Seattle over a hundred years ago....:)
