The continued work for a RapidRide stop on SW Alaska west of California isn’t moving “rapidly” enough for the businesses stuck behind the backhoes, as first mentioned here a week and a half ago – like Twilight Artist Collective, which currently has the view we photographed through their front window, and which is now into “making lemonade out of lemons” mode: They’ve announced a “Bashed-Up-Street Sale” all week long, 10 percent off if you come in and mention that phrase. Yes, you CAN get into Twilight, Edie’s Shoes, and Rose Nails along the stretch west of Easy Street Records. Twilight is open till 7 tonight. (We’re working to get an update on how much longer this section of the work will take; all along the future RapidRide route, it’s been happening in phases, first the concrete and utilities, then the stop/station shelters, benches, signage depending on what’s scheduled for a certain spot.)

P.S. Twilight and Edie’s also are part of this Saturday’s “Tax-Free Day for All” daylong Junction-wide sale – participants listed here
