Another lost thing which is a bummer is the loss of coolest theatres in town... the orpheum was world class and they ripped it down to build the corncob twin towers of a worthless throwaway fuck of a hotel. and the same thing has happened with several other venues.. the Coliseum was pretty cool and it became the freaking banana republic / gap... so worth it culturally etc.

Neighborhood drug stores that sold cosmetics, comic books and toys for kids, where the owner / pharmacists made the pills by hand out of raw chemicals, and you could sit at the luncheon counter while you waited and be served an ice cream Sunday or a Sarsaparilla float.
Every neighborhood had at least one ~ Montlake had two ~ Jake's which was next door to the cool little Montlake Library [still there? hope so] and Don's which was across the street and always had the best selection of comic books. Jake made the finest ice cream creations ~ the guy loved kids and was solid as a confection creator
