• More With the Sand Already

  Sand, salt. Salt, sand...will there ever be another Snowpocalypse to generate such intense road-maintenance debate? While writing recently about bike boxes, and the painted lane lines that have been sanded away on some streets, I mentioned that the piles of old sand can create problems for cyclists who generally cling to the curb lane. Days later came this story in The Seattle Times, which I'm pretty sure followed a similar account from one of our old SW colleagues now writing for the Stranger.

• Giant Red Dots Plague Burke-Gilman Trail!

  What to do they mean? They represent bicycles counted last fall in a joint project between the state Dept. of Transportation and Cascade Bicycle Club. WSDOT posted the results earlier this year, as part of something called the National Bicycle and Pedestrian Documentation Project. This is different than past city counts (also in conjunction with the CBC), where stations are scattered throughout the city. Here, the focus was statewide. Unsurprisingly, the highest volume of cyclists was observed

• Summer at the McKagan Tent

  Duff McKagan's column runs every Thursday on Reverb. By Duff McKagan Summer is fast approaching, and parents everywhere are faced with the perennial dilemma: What are we going to do with the kids? My wife and I are certainly no different when it comes to planning summertime family activity. This past spring break sucked for my kids (and in turn, it sucked for Susan and I). First, our kids had two weeks off when all their friends had one. Secondly, our 11-year old daughter was hit with a week-l

• Mid-Summer Slush Pile! Part II

  Score! Olympia journalist-turned-novelist Jim Lynch just snagged a New York Times review for his sophomore effort, Border Songs (Knopf, $25.95). Usually that's a privilege reserved for Northwest novelists whose names are Guterson, Alexie, or Raban. Along with the generally favorable NYT review ("ambling, provincial whimsy") for the book, about eccentrics on both sides of the 49th parallel, Border Songs is No. 4 on the Pacific Northwest Independent Booksellers Bestseller List. After several local

• Christian Lander Isn't Judging You. Really

  ​One of our favorite sly satirists appears Sunday at Bumbershoot, that being Christian Lander, the blogger whose wisdom is collected in Stuff White People Like: The Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions. Among his self-satisfied targets are NPR junkies, triathletes, Prius braggarts, Whole Foods worshippers, fixed-gear fetishists, early Obama backers, and those whose musical tastes froze at the Pixies. What I love about the book is that it lances both the core pretensions of The

• Where in the World Are Paul Allen's Yachts?

  ​With his net worth last estimated by Forbes at $10.5 billion, Microsoft co-founder and international man of leisure Paul Allen has seen his wealth slide with the rest of us impacted by the recession. Forbes ranked him 19th among world billionaires in 2007, 41st last year, and 32nd this year. (He was third in 2003.) Damningly, Forbes wrote in April, the South Lake Union land baron and Seahawks owner "has lost 36% of his fortune in the last 12 months." But thanks to the invaluable Web sit
