Katie’s Cupcakes opening in March

Saturday, January 31

Katie’s Cupcakes will be opening in March where The Bunch was located at 1005 Harris Avenue.  Yes, cupcakes.  Apparently this is a new and popular business these days.  Katie has paper on the windows now and is renovating the interior and installing her oven.  Sirena Gelato has prospered down in the 900 block of Harris these past two years and we have the candy shop in the 1100 block.  So walking the district will now offer a third place for just a tasty bit of sweet either after dining or just on impulse. 

Harris Ave and 10th gets a new surface

Friday, October 24

It is already completed and open to traffic this Friday morning.  It was quick but disruptive to the retail businesses but much appreciated by all.  The city Public Works has the whole intersection at 10th and Harris torn apart on Wednesday and repaved with asphalt on Thursday.  Here the crew lays down the last strip of asphalt down Harris Avenue about 3 pm on Thursday. 

Flag at half staff to honor fallen soldier

Thursday, September 4

You may notice our flag is at half staff today.  We try our best to honor those Washington State service persons who are killed while in the service.  They and their families deserve our respect - and a half staff flag salute is most proper. 

Here is the Governor’s statement:

Governor Chris Gregoire has directed that flags at all Washington State agency facilities be lowered to half-staff Thursday, September 4, 2008, in memory of U. S. Army Specialist Carlo E. Alfonso of Spokane who was killed in action August 26, in Sadr City, Iraq.

We are open every day of the week. Stop by and see what we have on display.
