Greenwood redevelopment
Coming to you today from Green My Ride, at the Phinney Neighborhood Center.
The new retail/condo project behind the Greenwood Bartell Drugs has been given a name: Piper Village --for Piper's Creek, presumably. Ironically, the site (and everything else within a block or more) sits on the paved-over, drying-out bog that serves as the creek's headwaters.

BIAW's Musser has joke detector switched to OFF position
I always try to write my little news-satire pieces with a veneer of reality, but then add that Little Something Extra that pushes it over the line separating libel from Constitutionally Protected Parody.
Usually when someone still doesn't get that it's a joke, or asks "Is this from The Onion?", I take it as a compliment. However, for the first time that I can recall I've gotten a comment from the actualbutt subject of one of my gags:
Either you get it or you don't. But in this case, the fact that this particular someone doesn't get it is LMAO hilarious.

This is Mark Musser. I am not sure where you get your information from, but not one quotation of mine that you have placed in your blospot [sic] is accurate, and most of them are in fact made up by someone (you?). You have placed all kinds of words in my mouth which I have never said.My policy is that I don't explain comedic premises, because it plays into the hands of our country's all-too-pervasive sense of humor deficit.
If you are so inclined, you may read our newsletter at www.biaw.com and find my article inside the Building Insight newsletter, not the Daily Construction Worker.
Sincerely,
Mark Musser
