SEATTLE HISTORY - "THINGS THAT AREN'T HERE ANYMORE"

Neighborhood drug stores that sold cosmetics, comic books and toys for kids, where the owner / pharmacists made the pills by hand out of raw chemicals, and you could sit at the luncheon counter while you waited and be served an ice cream Sunday or a Sarsaparilla float.

Every neighborhood had at least one ~ Montlake had two ~ Jake's which was next door to the cool little Montlake Library [still there? hope so] and Don's which was across the street and always had the best selection of comic books. Jake made the finest ice cream creations ~ the guy loved kids and was solid as a confection creator
 
Can't believe no one's mentioned @Swaye 's Twin Teepees.

The Sky Ride at Seattle Center was pretty bitchin' as was the Fun Forest.

Fidelity Lane Tix, Tower Records and Peaches were the shit, too.
 
I don’t miss the Kingdome at all, but I saw a lot of cool shit in that building…

1984 Final Four
First Seahawks playoff game
95 one game playoff

I was there for the first playoff game. 31-7 over John Elway and Denver. Christmas Eve 1983. I remember all the Christmas lights shining bright on the drive home. I was 12.

My first Kingdome trip was for the Hawks first pre-season game in 76, against the 49'ers, IIRC

Saw Zeppelin, Wings, the Stones and The Who...shitty concert venue

95 Final Four

The Double

Got to coach for a state title there...

What the fuck? The cartoon on the back of the truck originally said the buns you save may be your own,

Goddamn, all the good things are gone

I'm in for $5 for rolling this one out again, if some enterprising one would find a billboard near Montlake open for display
