New restaurant coming soon to 23rd & Pacific
Downtown is slowly creeping southward as a new restaurant is set to open at the corner of Pacific and 23rd. The spot has been under renovation for months and is now looking pretty finished. County records show it's use code as fast food but was formerly Snubber's Fish and Friends pet shop but with the addition business name of Sandy's Restaurant (that old Chicago sub place?). I contacted the building's owner and he confirmed that it will be a "locally owned and operated restaurant".
Hard to believe that a pet shop and restaurant live(d) there at the same time so I'm betting it'll become Sandy's. As I mentioned, progress looks good and is apparently good enough that the owner also said it's opening next month. A nice diner or breakfast place (what do you think it'll be?) would fit this corner of town really well and would certainly be a place I'd walk to from work now and then. Stay tuned...
Pushing South
With retail space getting gobble up and/or more expensive in the heart of downtown this may urge businesses down Pacific toward the hill. Filling in some of the empty spots near 21 Commerce and other dead zones will work nicely once the new Sounder tracks aid in cleaning up the area around 26th and 27th. This is all particularly encouraging because our office is just off 28th and we could sure use some good spots for a bite or a warm drink without having to resort to Jack in the Box or snacks at the Elephant Carwash.

Anti-David Seago flier
Apparently someone out there T-town is not a fan of The News Tribune's editorial page editor David Seago. A flier tacked on the side of a utility box says it all.
The decent sized proclamation sits at the intersection of S. Steele and Idaho, just out of the back exit from Costco and is easily readable in plain sight. I wonder what the guy did to deserve this kind of xerox'd publication? I wonder where else more of these might be posted? I wonder when local bloggers may get "big" enough to merit such taunting? One can only dream...
