hmmm, some confusion about who said what…
as someone mentioned: “Also this is a blog, where people are encouraged to express their opinions.”
my opinion: I love molly moons’ ice cream. (and full tilt)

not a big fan of husky deli ice cream myself. other than standard flavors, seems that most of their specialties have ‘chunks’ in them: nuts, cookie pieces, etc. not my thing (neither are nuts in brownies/ cookies, fruit in yogurt, lumps in my grits, etc.) my boys bought a tub of maple walnut one time, ate about a half of it and then it got freezer burn.

if we have talarico’s, proletariat, pizzeria 22, slices, pagliacci’s, spiros ..why do we need Zeeks, red star, giannoni’s, pizzeria credo … (feel free to re-arrange the list however you like).

variety is the spice of life! why not more ice cream places? we have quite the handful of everything else.

Im with themightrabbit…what will become of British auto and will alki auto be making a lot of changes to the existing property and structures? It’s a huge property but the buildings seem really run-down and as it stands there’s not quite the space for all the drive up traffic it seems alki auto sees daily. I live on the same street as British auto and am wondering what’s in store for our neighborhood in terms of construction and traffic/parking.

Does anyone remember “The Big Dipper” it was an ice cream parlor? I worked there when I was fifteen. I went to work one day and there was a note on the door saying they were closed. Never got paid, never knew what happened. Bankrupt I suppose.

karen g, you aren’t dreaming, there was a Denny’s just south of the Junction! It may have been a Sambo’s before it was a Denny’s.

I’ve purchased many,many parts from ‘ole Rusty at British Auto going back more than 40 years. Keeping those old MG’s running was a labor of love. It would be missed if it’s not to re-open.

WSince86 – Why would we need a Molly Moon when we have Husky Deli?

ok, wait a minute. What about the British Auto Center? Is that guy throwing in the towel after all these years? That place is large – it’s not only the shop, but also the parking area down towards the coffee shop, as well as another house and property behind on the other side of the alley.

WSB, what’s happening to that business?

Thx

Fiata and Wscommuter – maybe unbeknownst to you, but known to many others in the area, tank decommissioning CAN be a huge issue in the Alki and other areas around. Known of folks having to spend tens of thousands to clean up residential tank removals say nothing of a commercial space where fuel was stored for years. Hope it’s not the case for them.
Also this is a blog, where people are encouraged to express their opinions. As long as this is America, we are all entitled to have one. My opinion is More Burgers!

I like burgers, there is a Blue Moon coupon in my Chinook book.
I haven’t tried them, but a coworker says their burgers are good.

you know what we DO NEED on Alki? a molly moons. yes I know we have pepperdocks there and full tilt over in WC, but I like variety. I like my (FT) Mexican chocolate, but I also really like (MM) honey lavender and seasonal flavor ‘peach blondie’ YUUUUMM

I have to put in a good word for Alki Auto. Besides providing professional service at reasonable rates, they have given me advice and even minor repairs for free. I will miss you!

I make the Alki Auto guys their coffee every morning and was told by the manager of the shop that they are NOT closing but yes, they are moving to the old British Auto shop on Avalon, just a few doors up from Luna Park.
