Ballard Featured in NYTimes
The New York Times has a short article in their Escapes section about our favorite neighborhood Ballard. The picture above (taken at the great Sunday market on Ballard Ave) is part of a photo slideshow featuring some great shots of our old 'hood, including the windows of the fish ladder of locks down the street, and the Olympics-facing beach on the other side of Sunset Hill.
Sadly, novelty shop (or whatever you call a place that sells bacon floss) Archie McPhee's is leaving after the landlord decided not to renew the contract after years. McPhee's will be moving to Wallingford. It would be a pitty to see another condo going up on the property. When I moved to Ballard four years ago, at least five different condo properties appeared off of Market Street. Now with the housing crash effecting some areas - many condos are left empty - at $900K it doesn't sound that sweet of a deal. Ballard's growth doesn't seem to slow though.
