Good-bye Capitol Hill
Posted by Gian on May 30th, 2007
I just read that Vivace’s building is being torn down. While it is just moving, and not completely going away (as is rumored to be B&O’s fate), it still makes me sad. The building - and all surrounding buildings on that block - are being blown away to make way for the lightrail (which I am excited for… cause Seattle needs it). While mass transit is always welcome in this transit-less city, I fear that all the changes in this neighborhood are going to kill it’s uniqueness all together.
I foresee an “urban-suburb” character to this neighborhood. Gone will be the gays, punks, goths, etc. In will be Muffy, Princeton, their two children and their imported, hypo-allergenic labradoodle.
