With Slats gone, the whole hill is imploding. Oh well, we had a good run.

If you wanted to open a gay bar with an existing clientele and demand, here's your chance.

Just take the light rail to Fremont and come have a drink with us!

(oh, wait, they haven't done that part yet ... never mind)

That is not an improvement.

I'll never forget the time my dad took me to lunch there, back when it was called something else (Madison something? Cadillac Grill?). Nice little place he used to eat at back when he first moved to Seattle in 1954. It took him a while to figure out why we were the only people in there without booshy moustaches and tight, tight Levis. We ate our sandwiches in beet red silence.

How about a 6-story, 49,000 square foot gay bar?

i once was called out of the audience to lift a cabaret singer onto a piano there, and, since i have little girl arms, and she was not svelte, i failed. i'm still mortified.

anyway, Miller Hull. approved.

Fnarf, that is hilarious.

@5: What-- you've never been to a mustache party?

@9, not that I can recall, but I'm comfortable around the gays. My father, on the other hand...I'm absolutely certain he expected Carmen Miranda and Liberace to come out of the kitchen, surrounded by a hundred half-naked leather boys dancing the can-can and waving dildos in his face. You know, recruiting.

Hey, whatever happened to the planned AIDS memorial park in that green triangle in front of CC's?

Don't "living buildings" have to be architecturally respectable? Perhaps I need to see more renderings. This looks like another piece of Rem Koolhaas-style modernism to me.

i wish it was another piece of koolhaas-style modernism. this is poor, even for miller|hull. is it just me, or has their work gotten significantly watered down over the last decade?

how about a scheme 4, which unlike the others, won't look like a blighted piece of shit as soon as it's finished?

Woot! We finally got into the Stranger and we didn't even have to kill anyone! Thanks for posting info about Seattle Free School and once everyone sobers up come join us to learn something or teach something. It's fun. We swear.

If Capitol Hill's gay knew what was good for it they would ban together and demand a building that is a giant replica of that awesome Paul Bunyan that isn't CC's.
