I picked S instead of R, or E, because I thought I'd avoid "Requiem" and "Elegy" that way. Silly me.
Mervyns is going to be a Safeway. (And what sounds like a huge gas station, and some other retail on the property.) Almost exactly in the middle between the one on Budd up by Campbell Plaza and the one at Westgate. I wonder if they keep the one at Westgate. PW Market, across the street, and Albertsons across the other street, and Target sharing the building. I'm glad they're doing something with Mervyns either way. Sounds like soon too. Big empties, like down Southwest Expressway where K-Mart used to be, and the eternally empty acreage in front of Vallco, are depressing.
Awesome big list of 2009 about our town here. That article is what's awesome about the World Wide Web. It's almost free, relatively speaking, for the Merc to "print" that. Crib the highlights from the year, and post it as an end of year thing. Easy. And a lot of nice folks got their name in the "paper" again, around the holidays. More of that on the Web, please.

Was a time I would have thought this was a terrible thing. Now I don't know. Maybe it's perfect.
Cool old photo.
Eight years since 9/11. Remembering hearing about the Pentagon last, and wondering what the alien battleships looked like. Then the flags. "Don't Tread On Me" on the pedestrian bridge over 880 near Hamilton. Moby's "Southside" still reminds me of that week like a smell.
Have a good weekend.
