Topic: How do you plan a block party?
in forum Open DiscussionBonnieParticipantIt seems like every block is having one except for ours. Where does people get the information about having one for next year?

We are located at 2406 NW 80th Street in Ballard. Our office hours are 9-5 Monday through Friday and 10-2 on Saturday.

August 6, 2008 at 12:35 am #633307In reply to: Avalon Way vs. Harbor Ave. drivers
JustSarahParticipantroundthesound: I understand what you are talking about, and I think the reason the people turning right on green sometimes stop is they’ve been conditioned to do so after nearly being hit by someone turning left from Harbor. If I see traffic waiting to turn left there and I have the green, you can bet I still slow down just in case someone decides that they either have the right of way or have enough room to squeeze in. I figure if I’m going slowly and they pull a move like that I at least have time to avoid an accident. I bet some of the “stoppers” drive that intersection on Saturdays, too, which is when I notice it gets really bad. I saw a line of cars waiting to turn left onto the bridge one Saturday night that just took over the right of way – everyone started turning, completely blocking the right of way from turning right or going straight. There was a lot of honking, and still they all kept turning left!

charlabobParticipantThe charla and the bob want to give a shout-out to TRB for posting the pictures — it would be very easy for a business to get hung up on the possibility of offending a WS institution. Same is true of the links to “How to find out if your rental is about to be demolished. WSB is clearly a community resource *and* a source of income for its editors and JMS. And it never forgets the community resource role. So, thank you for being here and being you guys.

SuitsarenotBoringMemberThe Slog seems to have picked up on the story. Does he really own the Red Robin chain?

beachdrivegirlParticipantVillageGreen another view restaurant not WS based, but with a view of West Seattle is the Waterfront Grill…

We are renting our 3/BD 1.5 bath in Fauntley Hills. It’s 1 block from the Fauntleroy Center. Dogs are fine :) and it has a view.
Feel free to call me if you would like to see it.

Yeah, I am a ped, and for sure I’d get out of your way…well, I wouldn’t be in the bike path at all unless I was crossing the street.

August 5, 2008 at 10:54 pm #587697Topic: Block Watch – 4700 block of 47th Ave SW
in forum Open DiscussionMichellMemberI was wondering if any readers are my neighbors in the 4700 block of 47th? It would be interesting to meet any fellow WSB fans…
If so, I’ll see you tonight for the block watch party.
August 5, 2008 at 10:53 pm #633355In reply to: RANT – Bicyclists on Alki
RonMParticipantNever thought this would be such a polarizing topic! The simple fact is that the ignorant bicyclist suddenly appeared in front of the car from between two parked cars without looking. Had he hesitated or deviated his path or slowed, he’d been a hood ornament on my car. I merely tapped the horn to let him know I was there. It obviously angered him and he intentionally gave me the finger, slowed, and prevented me and the cars behind me from passing him. Ignorance and arrogance, just the recipe we need in West Seattle? NOT!

JanSParticipantvh…we did a soup swap last January…was fun to have all sorts of different soups in one’s freezer. I haven’t heard of anyone doing a full dinner thing, though.
August 5, 2008 at 10:45 pm #587696Topic: Cooking co-op/ dinner group
in forum Open DiscussionvanessahutchinsonMemberI was wondering if anybody knows if there is a dinner sharing/cooking co-op group in West Seattle. For those of us
who work full time and commute, it would be nice to get together (or do it in your own kitchen) once every week or two, cook a huge batch of one meal, and share with others who do the same, ending up with a bunch of different meals in our freezer. Have you heard of anything in our area like this?
August 5, 2008 at 10:25 pm #633409In reply to: My hillbilly infestation…
villagegreenMemberJenV – I don’t get the motorcycles on the sidewalk. They do have a garage. Do they think they’re doing the street parkers a favor? It’s gotta be illegal, though. We get to ‘enjoy’ their deck parties and loud music as well due to our location – although it has been much better this summer.
We’ve dealt with homeowners storing huge boats on on the street right out our front window for an entire winter before. That’s definitely illegal and I was finally about to call the city about it, but he finally moved it.
So, yes, homeowners and renters are guilty of hillbilly behavior.

austinMemberUsing the street to park because your driveway/yard is full of broken down cars is my fav.

ZenguyParticipantAnother funny moment in Sleepless in Seattle is when Meg Ryan was chasing Tom Hanks in the boat going to WS and was on the top of the viaduct going South.

AnonymousInactiveI wanted to put this back up on the radar. Forgive me. Anyone have any more stories about movie scenes filmed in West Seattle?
August 5, 2008 at 10:12 pm #633407In reply to: My hillbilly infestation…
AnonymousInactiveYeah, point well taken, it does take all kinds. In general, people amaze me with their behavior.
The folks that use the street to park even though they have a drive way/garage, kill me. So does finding dog and cat excrement on my lawn, inside my fence. Oddly enough, I do not have any pets so I can for the life of me figure out how it keeps appearing like magic :)
August 5, 2008 at 10:10 pm #633406In reply to: My hillbilly infestation…
WSBKeymasterJust in case anybody tries to flag us on this:
Somebody a few months back tried to make the argument that hillbilly was an ethnic slur.
We determined it wasn’t. That ruling stands.
Just being pre-emptive. Now back to the regularly scheduled discussion … TR
August 5, 2008 at 9:53 pm #633404In reply to: My hillbilly infestation…
AnonymousInactiveJenV that is why I said “In SOME cases” … I have equal disgust for owners or renters/landlords who contribute to the degradation of a neighborhood. I’ve just come across more renters who don’t care vs owners who don’t care. I am currently dealing with a similar issue as Todd so my apologies if my frustration slipped out.
