Won't You Be My Neighbor

I recently discovered this great new blog, CHS: Capitol Hill Seattle. It's all about my neighborhood and it's been up for a little over a year. They are way better about keeping up with their posts, generally posting a few times a day. So, during the slow times at the Buffalo Blog, head on over there to see what's up. They have already turned me on to a lot of great things in the area, like Vios, a hip, Greek Market and restaurant with the best meatball sandwiches around! Soooo good.

CHS also tipped me off another great resource, The Capitol Hill Times. It's got more great stuff about what's going on in the neighborhood. I think the reason I like this site so much is that they have a police blotter. Be warned though, it can get a little addicting. Plus, I've had a jones for a police blotter ever since I desperately tried and failed to find one in the days after the incident involving the police dog and the man under our neighbor's car. It only goes back about a month, so I'm no closer to unraveling that mystery now than I was then. Good times. "Come out or you will get bit." What a nice welcome to the neighborhood.

I digress. CHS is a very cool blog and makes me feel a little more hip knowing what's going on in the neighborhood. For example, I bet you didn't know that some guy is filming an indie movie at the old First Church of Christ, Scientist? Or that the Capitol Hill Mommie Mafia loves pudgy-fudgies? I didn't think so, but now you do. Spread the word, bird.

what about seattlist? are they any good? I'm still an avid DCist reader myself. Definitely will give it a looksee, though!

Seattlest has not impressed me. They have yet to tip me off to anything worth while or done much to make me go bak on a regular basis. DCist is a gem, all sorts of good stuff there, but not so much on the Seattle version.

Thanks for the friendly post, neighbor. Come out now or you will get bit! is how we greet each other around here.

seems you've made the natives restless, austin. be wary. be very wary....

i suppose, however, that you yourself are, in fact, a native now...seeing as how you've been there over a year now, yes? it's been over a year, holy shmoly....

Thanks for the friendly greeting J. As you can tell, I'm a big fan of your work. I'm glad to hear that the police were just welcoming me to the neighborhood and there was no actual intent to do any biting.
