Land Developers Die!
Went down to Alki last weekend to see the Seafair Pirates, had hoped to see the landing but too late, story of my life...
Then headed over to Lake Union to see the Center for Wooden Boats boat show. Love the old wooden sail boats in particular; craftsmanship like that is just gone from most of the modern world.
And then drove up Eastlake to find the remains of Daly's Drive-in behind chain link fence. Damned Condo developers strike again! First they ruin any remaining nightlife by bitching about the noise downtown, and now they've destroyed an icon from my childhood. Bastards!

Couldn't agree with you more. I'm all for density and urban planning, but there's no planning. And no attempt to save what little we have left of this city's iconic spots. We hit Daly's about a month before it closed, and I had no inkling it was happening until I drove by and saw it fenced off. So pissed. I figure Burgermaster is next, and I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to put condos up over Dick's (does anyone know if they own or lease their property?).
