@brianrayguitar Ha. Not sure if this a nod to Abbey Road or Ministry Of Silly Walks, but either way, I like it: i2.photobucket.com/albums/y34/Zil…—

Trying to get back into the blogging groove after a 3-day, mostly computer-free weekend, I found this video of Ben Lee covering MGMT‘s Kids to be sweet and inspiring.

Would LOVE to see the following evolve from an idea that bicyclists know intuitively to a common sense no-brainer that communities naturally invest in.

Tweet of the Day: Of Flowers and Donuts
When I saw this tweet, I felt my heart sink.
Locals mourn demise of old A Lot Of Flowers shop in Fairhaven bit.ly/KhjP0z #bellingham—

After all, until November of last year, the Fairhaven Historic District here in Bellingham was my neighborhood, and A Lot Of Flowers an iconic presence in the heart of this beloved village only a few blocks walk from my old house. (Photo source: Flickr user brewbooks)
It is hard to imagine that street corner without the charming, mostly open-air, flower shop, and impossible to imagine what’s going to be there in its place: a donut shop.
Mind you, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Rocket Donuts, our locally-owned donut masters, it’s important to keep in mind that they will be providing a space in the new building for A Lot Of Flowers, and this, especially, is a relief:
[A Lot Of Flowers Owner] Ferguson said she’s excited to work with the new owners. She said weather presents a lot of challenges to her nursery and retail business in its current open-air operation, which has a small building on the property. She plans to talk to the new owners about what she would like for the new space, as well as discuss ways to incorporate some of the outdoor aspects to her business that have made it popular over the years.
Ferguson also is happy to potentially have some stability with her tenant lease. In recent years other property owners have proposed ideas to build structures that could force A Lot of Flowers to leave.
“This is good news for us,” Ferguson said.
But change, even needed and well-planned change, can be challenging, painful even, and it is certainly true that the northwest corner of Harris Avenue and 11th Street will never be the same again.
