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

[TurdBomber]

Original Red Door Tavern on Fremont.

And The Watertown at 1st and Bell. Great Fucking Bar.

Always, always had broken glass all over the dance floor, and NOGAF.

So they were selling the stadium the rapidly growing locally owned company [CX Corporation] i worked for needed a large manufacturing space so they bought the land and ripped down the stadium and built the new facility... I worded there for a couple of years before the company was sold to a swiss mega corporation the bought the company for the patents and technology which competed with their products and promptly laid off the 400-500 people that worked there.... so no its a lowes and probably some other stores as well?[/b]

No love for Eagle Hardware?

Eagle didn’t last long.

Buying Apples by the bridge near Hec Ed. I neglected that part when i previously posted about walks to the stadium on crisp fall days for a 12:30 kick off

No love for Frederick and Nelson's? There was one at almost every mall, back in the day.

Used to get my Boy Scout stuff at Aurora Village. Now you have to drive down Rainier Ave - scary - to get your scarves and shorts.

Fuck Frederick and Nelson. They bought The Crescent and ruined it.

509 boys rep.

David Sabey, of Spokane, was the last owner of F&N.

I knew him. His brother lived down the road from me. He’d land his helicopter there from time to time. Went to a few parties there

 

[MikeDamone]

I spent a small fortune at that Lowes too

Thank you!

Chubby and Tubby was a great place to buy Chuck Taylors and shrink to fit 501s.

I equate Chubby and Tubby with Chuck Taylors.

And Carhart. Got a bunch at substantial discounts when they shuttered the White Center store.

I wasn’t wearing Carhart to school in the early 80s.

I'm sure you were wearing LawMan Painters, like the rest of us.

I went to Catholic school, we wore a fucking uniform.[/b] I think the cheap clothes my mom bought were called Tough Skins or something stupid like that. All the poor kids wore them.

So did I, but our pants were salt & pepper corduroys until about 4th grade, when the SJWs made us switch to green jeans, recommending Toughskins. Fucking SJWs ruin everything.

Rebel that I was, I refused, and went with JCP Super Denims (who remembers the robot commercials?) instead of Sears Toughskins.

JCP clothes were always better than Sears shit. So I stayed one step above the pours at my catholic school.

My parents sacrificed so I could wear Levi’s.

But I did read the Ambrose book about it. Those Chinamen in the Sierras were legit.

I don't recall Sabey being from Spokane. If so, he moved away young and never came back other than buying Northtown Mall (which is now essentially The Walking Dead)

He was always associated with Bellevue.

I never realized Kidd Valley was gone, but yes it has been years since I've seen it around.
