First, Robert Jamieson details how drunken/disruptive/occasionally violent late night customers and loiterers have led the SODO Denny’s (Seattle’s last) to close it’s doors on late Saturday nights. It’s a bummer of a story, but kudos to Jamieson for using the word “numskulls”; I’d been hoping for “hooligans”, personally, but as always, the piece was boosted by a foray into archaic lexicon. Also in the P-I, the Landmark Preservation Board is at it again. This time, they’ve held a preliminary vote to designate the 15th and Market Denny’s a landmark, potentially thwarting a big condo development deal. Anybody else detect a whiff of underhanded downzoning–especially given other recent landmarking news (such as Peter Steinbrueck’s sweeping and seemingly rushed list of downtown buildings to preserve)?PS–Denny’s, if you’re reading this, bring back the Veggie Cheese Melt. I loved that sandwich. So did my mom.
