CHS has the scoop on why there's a giant mosquito loitering at Broadway and Pike.
CHS has the scoop on why there's a giant mosquito loitering at Broadway and Pike.
Last night was colder than we expected--damn you, cold, wet fog!--and just after the sun went down, we realized we should have brought gloves if we were going to be biking around. We were down around the Pike/Pine corridor, navigating between a Cap to the Hill meetup at Moe Bar, a "Save Newspapers?" confab at Office Nomads, and Marat/Sade at Balagan Theatre, so we stopped in at the Walgreen's at Broadway and Pine. They had Magic Gloves for Women for $1.99. No men's gloves, and while our hands are...not overly large...we didn't dig the color palette. So we walked over to the Bartell Drugs at Pike. Same Magic Gloves, but also Isotoner for Women. No men's gloves. Not a single pair. Shame on you, druggists of Pike/Pine. We waggle our chapped, aching finger at you.
