Thanks for writing this, Alison. Very well put. Reminds me of something I read years ago and, ta-dah, thanks to the Web, here it is: People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If ...

Great piece, Hugo. I mourned the passing of Olsen's -- where you could hear Norwegian spoken as you were assaulted by the acrid smell of herring -- as well as Scandie's. (Although their surly waitresses rivaled anything I heard about on "The News from Lake Wobegon.") But it's terrific to ...

Good food for thought, in the ongoing dialogue about quality of life in Seattle's "urban villages." More illuminating storytelling in this vein can be found in "Independent America: The Two-Lane Search for Mom and Pop," as well as the sequel, "Independent America: Rising from the Ruins," by Seattle filmmakers Hanson ...
