capitol hill

Wow, a bunch of new dessert places in Cap Hill recently. Cupcake Royale, Molly Moon's, and now Old School Frozen Custard.

Have heard good things about this place.

Pretty cool. And, you only need Flash.

Pictures of people sledding down Denny Way & Bellevue using a variety of apparatus @ 12:30am

For those who don't live here, Denny is normally a relatively highly trafficked site.

Quoted: Still a little shaken by the charter bus collision yesterday that almost sent one (if not both) buses full of Job Corps kids plummeting 30 feet onto I-5, we walked back down to the scene, East Thomas Street and Melrose, this morning. The buses had been towed away last night. The west end of East Thomas was vigorously sanded to give the trucks traction, and a temporary guardrail installed. Thank god for the days of plentiful rebar.

This bus and another took a hilly side street since Denny was closed . The other bus (not visible in this picture) apparently pushed this bus all the way down the side street. Had the bus not stopped in time, it would have fallen 30 feet onto I-5.

All this happened one block from my apartment. Picture is taken from my cell phone.

Found this great Capitol Hill blog via the author who started following me on Twitter.

If you zoom in on the first photo and look at the second floor apartment, you'll see a bunch of stuff on the deck. This is the one unit that sadly had not yet been vacated.

The tenant, who was in his late eighties, had been living there for 30 years. He had accumulated so much stuff that it was actually difficult to move around the apartment.
