CDP post
restaurant and home
Last night, we ate takeout from one of our favorite restaurants: Birrieria Pepe El Toro on University Way. It was great as always.
But the focus of today’s post is the long history of restaurants operating inside houses. I understand this history was shaped by zoning and immigrant entrepreneurship. But the main reason we enjoy restaurants in homes is the neighborhood culture they build.
Following is a link to an article titled Dive into Seattle restaurant history starting with the city’s first cookhouse.

prospective
This photo does a great job of showing prospective. When you see the 747 tail on the plane, the tail does not look very large. But when I take of photo of my wife in front of a 747 tail you see how large the tail is.
This photo was taken at the Future of Flight in Everett Washington which is very close to Seattle.
fish toss
This last weekend relatives came to town and naturally we went to the Seattle Pike Place Fish Market to see the fish toss. We were not disappointed. Look closely and you will find a fish in mid-air.
I understand this an old tradition where fishmongers hurl heavy salmon cross the counter while shouting load, rhythmic chants.
Following is a link to a Facebook page with a video of the fish toss.
August Gallery – Purple
It’s a color theme at City Daily Photo. Purple has lots of associations – royalty (to the purple born) and the musician Prince, delicate flowers, sunsets, wine. Today, our members find themselves on the spectrum between red and blue. The illustration is from St. Louis’ 2026 Soulard Mardi Gras parade.

June Theme – Sky
It is above all of us. It is never the same between two glances. We may not even notice it in its common forms but our lives depend on it. Today, City Daily Photo members look up and open their eyes. The illustration is out on the Kansas prairie, where my wife comes from.
April 2023 Theme – My Favorite Toy
The CDP theme for April is my favorite toy. Those of us with some money to spend and who live in technologically advanced societies usually have lots of electronic gizmos to amuse us. But you don’t need a single working electron to play with a top, a kite or a sock puppet. I’m afraid that I’m in the first category. My iPhone is probably my second favorite toy. Number One will be revealed on theme day itself.
