If you’re wondering where all that acrid smoke is coming from this afternoon, it’s a fire in SODO: http://www.blogginggeorgetown.com/2010/09/old-sunny-jim-buil

Walking home from the library and its blessed free A/C today, I noticed that the city has recently added a sign highlighting some of the area’s attractions.  (It’s at the end of Blanche Lavizzo Park where Washington dead-ends.)  Unfortunately, there seems to have been some kind of typo or miscommunication – both sides of the sign say “Douglass Trust Public Library” instead of Douglass Truth.

I’m hopeful that this means we won’t have a repeat of the last few weeks the next time it snows.

Ork Posters makes hip neighborhood posters in several cities, and apparently is preparing to make one for Seattle. 

Here is their proposed neighborhood map for Seattle.  They’re soliciting comments on the neighborhood names and borders, and I think we could offer some input.
