Topic: 40 Years Ago Today
http://www.historylink.org/File/2421
I was living in a small apartment above the then Venable & Wing Law Office, now, for many years, Barnecut Law Office, having moved there about two months before, being on my own for the first time.
I believe it was around 10:00 am or so that I was on the #18 bus on my way to the Sears at 1st & Lander. As the bus was coming up from under the Fauntleroy Expressway on the ramp next to the fire station (technically, the ramp that replaced the very similarly designed ramp upon construction of the high bridge), I had this fleeting though; What would happen if something ever happened to just one of the two bascule drawbridges? Would they reroute traffic for both directions over the remaining bridge?”
I was absolutely stunned, as the bus came up topside around the curve of the ramp, to see the northernmost/westbound bridge stuck in the up position, either new jersey barriers there where none had been before, or existing ones moved (don’t recall for sure), and traffic going both ways over the remaining bridge!
The only thing I could figure out, aside from a one-time only (so far) solid incident of experiencing ESP, was that I heard something about it on my clock radio that was set to KJR-AM (top 40 radio). Either I had the radio on overnight, or it started up in the morning at the pre-set wake up time, and although I didn’t consciously hear it and it was planted in my sub-conscious.
Anyone else around these parts back then that remember where they were/what they were doing when they first became aware of the Ship Hitting the Span?

206-932-1850 (office)Topic: PCC in West Seattle
Do you miss our PCC as much as I do? The only good thing about the tear down was that it forced me to drive to the Columbia City store, which in my opinion is the best PCC ever. Interesting layout and great feel. Lots of window light. First rate butcher/seafood counter and truly awesome deli and hot food. Made to order burritos, tacos and smoothies. And many of the same friendly staff we used to see in WS. It’s everything I’d want our reborn PCC to be.
I recently make the trek down to Burien to see their new PCC. I wasn’t expecting a lot given it’s strip mall location, but came away truly depressed. It felt to me like the equivalent of one of those cookie-cutter multi-story box apartments that are popping up all over Alki and Admiral. And no butcher counter. Here’s the bad part: I’ve heard from multiple sources that this will be the template for our reborn store! Tell me it isn’t so! Has PCC lost its soul?
It may be too late, but if you care about this I’d urge you to visit both stores and let PCC know what you’d prefer: https://www.pccmarkets.com/contact-us/

We have large, very comfortable sectional that we would keep if we could! Unfortunately, we discovered after moving that it’s too large to fit down the stairs to our TV room. It was custom made (original price $4,000) with a durable, textured tobacco colored fabric. The two pieces of the sectional hook together so that they don’t slip apart.

Please email in resumes to Beesplumbingandheating@gmail.comA woman born in the 50s is a “cougar”?!! Right next to the jet plan flown in the 50s? What is it that women have to remain relegated to the sexual stereotypes. A woman born in the 1950s would have been told she could never be a jet fighter pilot – that only men got to be jet fighter pilots. And she would have been told she couldn’t be a jet fighter pilot because of her girl parts – the same part this billboard has made so pronounced.
Heck, the WASPs were disbanded in 1944 without even receiving any benefits. Would a girl born in the 50’s have even been raised to think she would be allowed to clean the jet fighter plane, much less be a mechanic – and “take a job away from a man”?
A girl would have had to have been born in the 70s before she could even have considered flying a jet. The first woman to be accepted and to become a jet fighter pilot was in 1993 and then women were only allowed to fly combat missions in 1998.
I love the Museum of Flight, but that billboard is ridiculous.
