Potato Lady
I stepped back from this blog because it seemed that pioneersquarenews.com might be in a position to do a MUCH better job... but they seem to have lost interested in posting, or lost the time, or maybe they moved away!
This morning the Potato Lady was throwing some veggies into Prefontaine "Fountain" again. I call her Potato Lady because that's the veggie I first saw her throw. She yells at the vegetable, then sets it free. (Remember Mork? Same style.) Anyway, I haven't seen Potato Lady for a while, so I'm glad she's doing OK.

3 Men Shot in Pioneer Square
I was up late last night and heard 6 sounds like a "pop." I was worried it was gunfire - guess I was right.
If you go read the article be sure to read the comments. Apparently Pioneer Square is overrun by gangs and "white people" should come here.

Shots fired at 2nd and James
Shots fired at 2nd and James
On December 18th at about 3:10 A.M., officers were dispatched to the area of James Street and 2nd Avenue to investigate a report of shots fired. The investigation at the scene revealed that no one was apparently injured during the incident. At least nine, and possibly as many as twenty shots, had been fired. Four businesses on the block had their windows and facades damaged by bullet strikes. The investigating officers recovered spent casings of two different calibers, as well as bullet fragments at the scene. No weapons were recovered.
The complainants, a man and woman in their 20s, reported that they were standing near the intersection of 2nd and James when a black vehicle, possibly a VW Passat, drove by and an unidentified suspect fired rounds out of the vehicle’s window. Officers responding to the area were not able to locate the vehicle. The complainants provided very limited information about themselves, and were not forthcoming about any possible motivation behind the incident.
Gang Unit detectives responded to the scene and interviewed the complainants .

I'm glad that nobody got hurt.
