Nobody Wants a McDonald’s in Chinatown

McDonald’s wants to put a new store in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID). Almost nobody thinks that’s a good idea. They are decidedly not loving it. Last night, about 80 CID residents and supporters packed the meeting of the International Special Review District (ISRD), the neighborhood’s historic preservation board. Impassioned public comments, handmade protest signs in Chinese and English, and several people in Ronald McDonald-esque clown masks injected the typically sleepy meeting with life.

The Daily

Fortunately, I have one more week of cowardice before I must face the real world again.

This Family Barbecue Joint in an Old Washington Auto Garage Only Serves Lunch, and the Brisket Sandwiches Need Extra Napkins

A hot sauce so fierce it has its own nickname, and you have to ask to meet it. They call it The Man, and it gets spooned out of a small, well-used pot like a family treasure. The sauce lives inside a converted auto garage in Washington, close to a busy freeway. The kitchen only serves lunch, so timing matters.
