#Throwback Thursday: The Beatles at Seattle’s Edgewater Hotel
Reminiscing about the Beatles' August 1964 visit to Seattle
In 1964, The Beatles arrived in New York to embark upon their first U.S. tour and changed the course of American popular music. The nation had just mourned the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and people were trying to make sense of it all. The impact of “Beatlemania” on the U.S. was remarkable. More…

We’re not entirely convinced that some of the more serious fare quoted qualifies…
City Parklets: Who Needs a Space to Park, Anyway?
These creative uses for city parking spaces are a bit controversial
It’s called a parklet and it’s got some people confused. Jennifer Wieland, public space program manager at SDOT, attributes the confusion to a misunderstanding of what parklets actually are. “They’re small public spaces that fit in easily with the urban landscape and are designed to have a very small impact on the streetscape.” Started as…

Part II: Negro Leaguer Marks Triumphant Return to Seattle
An inside look at the last living member of the Seattle Steelheads’ recent visit to Seattle
I’ve known Herb Simpson for several years now, but in general whenever I’ve seen him, it’s been at his house in the Algiers section of his hometown New Orleans. (He bought that house about 60 years ago soon after returning from World War II, and has lived in it ever since.) So I’ve never really…

We present 11 gorgeous looks from the runway
As always, Nordstrom put on quite a show last Thursday, July 24 for their Designer Preview, in support of the Seattle Art Museum’s upcoming exhibit Pop Departures.
