Dogs, dogs everywhere, every kind, size and shape.
Dogs really do rule the parade.

Beautiful Faces (People) of the Fremont Parade
I can’t even begin to describe the fabulous energy
that exudes this fair/parade. No two people are even
remotely similar.

Cyclists parading in birthday suit….hundred of them

Handmade parade floats made of recycled materials
and everyone dressed to kill.
Beautiful Eulogy to a Cafe
One of the plights of urban neighborhoods is change
which means some businesses survive and some die.
Especially when it comes to old cafes. The scruffier
version of the B&O is MIA on Capitol Hill and before
that was the Still Life Cafe in Fremont. Many moons
ago it was my favorite haunt along with the B&O but
alas it no longer exists. But I did capture this
wonderful mural as a tribute and it’s nice to know
I wasn’t the only one missing it. It reflected the older.
grungier, friendlier, and cheaper side of Fremont.
Beautiful Sculpture
More images from the Fremont Fair.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
HAPPY SUMMER SOLSTICE, may all days
be sunny, happy, and long…
And of course the famous (or perhaps infamous) Fremont Troll….
Beautiful Mural
I spent the weekend perusing the Fremont Fair+Parade.
For those of you who don’t know about it you will
by the time I finish todays posts. I’ll start at the
beginning. I like to park a fair distance away
from my destination because
a) I get to see all the wonderful micro sights
I would miss if I didn’t and
b) I love to walk.
First up is the wonderful wall mural along a concrete wall
walking down to the fair. It’s a cartoonish play off the
Fremont Neighborhood cafes and icons.
Fremont, otherwise known as The Center of the Universe,
is an awesome place to hang out on any day.

Not anywhere near Kansas…and dogs rule.

Mural is a block long and run under an overpass.
Colorful version of “Waiting for the Interurban”
Across the street is a wonderful series of painted posts
creating a colorful rhythm.

Beautiful Vintage Restaurant
Tonight is dedicated to Hatties Hat. It’s mid-century charm is
like stepping into a time machine sitting humbly among the
numerous overpriced trendy restaurants in Ballard.
Classic American comfort food at its best.

Beautiful Gallery
Today was one of those all too familiar drizzly days
when I just wanted to be anywhere else but Seattle.
The remedy? A field trip to the Henry Art Gallery where
I was treated to some James Turrell and a beautiful
photographic exhibit displaying some stunning images.

At the center of the Cascade P-Patch is a sitting area
with this striking rainbow mosaic pathway.
