He was a legend. If you can, find the movie “Raging Bull”, with Robert DeNiro…terrific movie about this man’s life…DeNiro won an Oscar for his performance. Probably one of, if not THE, best boxing movies ever made.

I finally made it into their place recently as I thought it relevant to dine there on Sept 11th, and was really happy to see one of my favorite meals on the menu, pot roast. Being only one of 3 tables occupied the meal arrived rather quickly.

The staff was attentive and polite, and the plate was filled with a good portion of food which was a tad less than tasty, but still enjoyable.

The down-sides were: I always order ‘water without ice’, and usually drain the first glass fairly quickly as I like to fill my belly with water before a meal, but my waiter (who brought me the drink) refilled the glass with ice-water, with lots of ice! (I don’t like drinking cold water!, and I know this isn’t a big deal, however it’s part of the over-all experience and something servers should be conscience of.)

Secondly, with an empty plate and utensils placed along the forward edge as I was taught, I sat and waited for 8 minutes and witnessed my waiter and another having a long and involved conversation behind the bar where I was in full view and earshot of the entire time, never once being checked-on (at this point 3 more tables had gained customers). Fortuneately there was football (English and Spanish broadcasts of the same game) on the many TV’s in the place to help occupy the time.

Their dialog was finally broken-up by manager or owner when my waiter went into back for another minute or so, then finally came by to check on me, took the proffered card for payment and quickly returned with the paperwork.

I did write the above onto the back of the customer copy of the receipt and left for their review, hopefully saving others from the same treatment.

My plans are to go back and give them another shot as their were many items on the menu that appealed to me, thus I’m glad to read to two positive reviews above.

I’ve been thinking about our community coming together and building a ‘Tiny Home’… on wheels, for … Someone. Maybe for someone to use and then hand over to the next person who needs it. And that maybe someone … or ones… who have property can allow the “Tiny Home” and inhabitant … to stay a while…

I’m always thinking… it’d be great to align with others that think too … and DO <3

It is extremely important that anyone looking to hire a contractor verify their status with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. All of this can be done on line. They are there to protect you and can provide much valuable information! If you don’t vet the contractor you can really suffer some consequences, financial and otherwise.

I would like to offer a different and I believe more accurate review of Owen Wright at Wright Innovations and Design. The above recommendation is inaccurate. For example Owen, has no “crew”, he picks up his help whenever and wherever. I hired him to add an addition to my garage and am finding that I am having to redo and fix everything he has done. The work was not done according to the contract he wrote and our discussions. In the May time frame he left materials and tools laid about and he simply never showed up again. Earlier in this nightmare experience due to his money problems he asked for payments before meeting contract milestones. He does not show up when he says, if at all. The project which he said would take 4 weeks, was never really finished. Recently, I contacted him to be sure he was aware of the issues with the project. His method of dealing with these issues was to call me a liar and swear at me. He then reiterated this including the filthy language in a text message, which I actually appreciated because the behavior is so unstable that by putting this in writing, he has given me proof of behavior that in no way belongs in a business setting. The content is not appropriate for this forum or anywhere. This has been my experience with “Wright Innovations”. I suggest staying as far away as possible. I wish I had. It is a sad state of affairs when people like this can call themselves a general contractor.

@KBear – I’m overly cautious when driving around bikes. I’ve had my car trunk hit/punched by a biker because I was in “their lane” to make a right turn and they didn’t like having to wait behind me. No damage to my car, but still annoying. That happened once. I’ve gotten some dirty looks from other cyclists, usually those that would be classified as “serious cyclists” with their bike-specific outfits. I find that casual cyclists, like those around Alki Beach, are less confrontational and are more likely to slow down or stop if cars or pedestrians are “in their way”.

Regarding pedestrians. I’ve seen “serious cyclists” go through stop signs and through crosswalks against the red hand, even if there are pedestrians walking through said crosswalk. There was one instance downtown where a cyclist rode through a crosswalk and almost hit a kid. The parent said something like “watch out” to the cyclist and he responded by cursing back as he rode away. It was a busy crosswalk, as several people had just gotten off the water taxi, and we had the green walk sign. I’ve seen plenty of other times that “serious cyclists” have blown through crosswalks and stop signs without even slowing down. I freely admit that I usually don’t make a complete stop at stop signs while biking, but I do slow down and check for cars before going through.

I’ll address you second statement first. Most cyclists do stop at stop signs and stop lights. In fact, in the red state of Idaho, bicycles are not required to stop at signs and may treat them as yields. Is sounds like your complaint is really a case of sour grapes as this is an enforcement issue. Perhaps cyclists are taking their cues from drivers around here who routinely blow through stop signs.

On to the road issue! Given that paved roads predate cars cyclists have the upper hand. In the 1880’s the Good Roads Movement came to be. This group lobbied for paved roads for the use of bicycles and other wheeled conveyances because roads in the 1880s were, well, mud and gravel. Cars wouldn’t come on the scene for years yet. So, yes, paved roads roads exist for the use of bicycles in this country. Paved roads, however, predate bicycles by a few millenia.

Your antipathy for bicycles is clear but the lawful use of bicycles on roads, in WA and in other states, pretty much 49 others, on roads is permitted. Bicycles are allowed to use their space on the pavement as they see fit so as to provide for their safety. They are also permitted to ride 2 abreast in most circumstances. Bear in mind that cyclists riding assertively (running signs and lights not withstanding) is not illegal. It may be inconvenient for you, you may have to display patience for a moment or two, but consider the laser focus that a cyclist must maintain when riding on the road rather than an idyllic bike trail through a forest with bunnies and deer sipping cold clear water at the edge of a brook.

Yes, I’m one of those cyclists. I periodically run stop signs and red lights and I’d like to see signs be treated a yields as a matter of law (for bikes). I ride assertively and have no problem getting right in the middle of the lane if it’s providing for my safety.

See you on the road.

As a cyclist I’m entitled to ride wherever I feel is the safest. It may be the shoulder, perhaps the right edge of the lane and it may be right in the center of the lane. As an example, when I ride down Avalon every morning, on the way to work, I’m cruising at 30-35 mph I”m right in the center of the lane. it’s unarguably the safest place for me to be. When I ride around Alki I’m usually cruising around 17-20 mph. That’s too fast for the bike path so i’m in the road and not hugging the parking lane as I don’t want to get creamed by a car door I tend to ride a bit right of the center of the lane depending on the traffic and parking.

As a vehicle I have a right to my space on the pavement. I also have a right under state law to the 3′ passing clearance that the passing vehicle must provide.

Interrupted a theft/burglary at 5233 42 ave this morning at 0420.

Hear rustling behind the garage, though it was raccoons in the garbage. Went to run them off and a white, slim, male wearing a yellowish t shirt came around the corner of the garage towards me and grabbed one of my security lights. I told him to stop, he dropped it and ran. Second security light stolen recently. Lawn mower stolen last week. Graffiti rampant in the alley between California and 42nd ave sw. North of Brandon.

I contacted John L Scott for permission to paint over the graffiti but they said they didn’t own the building and would get back to me. Never did.
