Unpaving Paradise! --Community Garden Art! Capitol Hill-Seattle

Summit and John, the most heavily populated corner in Seattle now has a community garden.  Nick-named "Unpaving Paradise" this garden gem is located behind the Starbucks on Olive Street.  This park-p-patch garden combo used to be a parking lot.  Now it  has a dedicated garden artist.  He/She is unknown, but they have brought the sun to the patch.  Corn in yoga poses, sleeping peas, and ripe, plump, tomatoes come alive on this January day!

 
I LOVE MY P-PATCH !

Go Light Rail! Sustainable Transportation!

Ok. So I was talking to my friend at the coffee shop about Seattle’s rail to the airport. He used to live in New York and I used to live in Seoul, South Korea where subway trains are like ….well, in his words “like having running water.” I am so excited to get to ride the rail all the way to the airport from downtown! How exciting! Not only does it cut down on my cost –a shared van costs 25.00 each way. The train is $2.75 each way. It is faster, cleaner, and more fun to ride than a bus. I don’t have to climb into the subway, I just walk on with my luggage in tow. Rock on Seattle. Now if we could get this over the water to the eastside and up to the U district!
