Man, that didn't last long. Wonder if it was business gone bad or really her pursuing "other opportunities"

Quoted: Sue McCown's playful Capitol Hill dessert lounge, Coco la ti da, closed its doors Tuesday. McCown, the former pastry chef at Earth & Ocean restaurant in the W Hotel, said in a statement that she shut down the restaurant to pursue other opportunities. Coco la ti da, which opened in November, was McCown's first solo venture. It featured her artful and whimsically named dessert creations, such as "Sex, Lies and Apricots." McCown had acknowledged experiencing difficulties recently, but there was no word on whether she would continue her bakery and wholesale business of the same name.

Freaky--random drive by shooting during a soccer match down in south Seattle. Fortunately no one was hurt as everyone just dived to the ground. Scary---a girl from my bellydance troupe was one of the soccer players. She was completely freaked out about the whole incident.
