2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo Start Up, Engine, In Depth Tour, and Test Drive
In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2011 Buick Regal CXL turbo. I take viewers on a close look
through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over
viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself.
I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it
sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to
give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

2011 Buick Regal CXL
This has a 2.4L 4 Cyl making 182 HP while paired to a 6 speed auto.
This may seem like a decent combo on paper but propelling the Regal's 3600
lbs + a 200 Ibs driver which is the American Average, propelling this car
will be a struggle for this engine.
There is an optional 2.0L turbo 4 cyl
which is the recommended Engine of choice if you want a Regal, but by no
means will it also be a total screamer on the road because of the heavy

2011 Buick Regal CXL Turbo In Depth Review, Start Up/Test Drive, and Overview of Features
In this video I bring you the all new 2011 Buick Regal CXL 2.0T. Based on
the Opel Insignia, this european born sedan was brought to the American
market under the Buick nameplate under a long known name, Regal. This car
is designed to compete with other sport sedans such as the acura tsx 4
cylinder. This video goes through every aspect of the Regal from
performance, to driveability, luxury features and equipment, as well as
night driving, styling, and much much more. Everything you would want to
know and more about the newest sport sedan from GM. A standard 2.4L
naturally aspirated 4 cylinder is offered, but with about 50 less horsepower. a GS model with
come later this year packing even more performance for those true driving
enthusiasts. The Regal combines American luxury to european handling and
sport. A worthy contender in todays market.

1987 Buick Grand National (Regal T-Type Turbo) Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Review
**I made an editing error at the beginning. Thanks a bunch to Streetside
Classics of Charlotte, NC for allowing me to film this video!
Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! YouTube's largest collection of automotive
variety! In today's video, we will take an up close and personal in depth
look at the understated muscle car of the late 80s, the Buick Grand
National, this one specifically the Regal T-Type. The GN and the T-Type are
identical except for badging and interior trim. It wasn't until you
stepped it on up to the GNX did you get the truly different package (which
I will explain in the video). The GN is arguably the most menacing looking
buick of all time with it's black monochrome paint scheme and turbo charged 3.8 V6 pumping out amazing
performance numbers for the time period, even today! A unique experience
to be able to check out one of these beasts. During this presentation, we
will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with
the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data,
and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior
and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only
get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will
highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any
available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video
without the good ole engine portion with rev and Exhaust note with interior and exterior
perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a
greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will
find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world,
presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this
gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you
can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is
consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my
presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960
Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of
vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of
the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new,
exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have
built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted
to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be
sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's
Seat of YouTube!

Having Sid and his beautiful fiancé Priti stay in my home was truly a pleasure. From the moment they arrived and I met them outside to greet them, I instantly found them to be such a warm and friendly couple. I only wished that their short, 2 day stay could have lasted just a little longer~ as I throughly enjoyed the time we did get to talk & chat because they were both such kind and awesome people to get to know.
Highly recommend Sid & Priti as guests in any Airbnb host's home and I promise you'll appreciate them as I much as I did! Thank you Sid & Priti, and please know you're always welcome back anytime! :)
It was a good experience to host Siddarth and his family. I had a little
confusion when they first arrived and then it was quickly sorted out.
They left the place pretty much as they found it and are always welcome

We thoroughly enjoyed hosting Siddharth and his Mom and Dad, all of whom were delightful. They shared some time with us out of their epic journey around America and genuinely enjoyed everything about the farm. They were all well traveled and took great interest in learning about our little area of Virginia. We would so love to see them again, either here or in India, and would recommend them highly to anyone who might have the opportunity to have them as guests. A lovely family!
Siddarth and his parents were delightful guests!
good guest
Very nice family. They arrived very late, but were very clean quiet and respectful. Would have no problem hosting them again.

Well anyway, here's the one fancy food item I made. Spinach Salad with Warm Bacon Dressing from the summer/fall 2008 Cosmopolitan magazine. Bad, bad, I know, but it was a free sample! The caption for the meal was "Make Him a Meal He'll Devour". Let's just sat Steve wasn't devouring this, but the mushrooms went well on his cheddar bacon burgers! I enjoyed it as did the in-laws and my parents. It's worth trying again.

The American Fire Sprinkler Association Scholarship Program is unlike many traditional scholarship essay contests. That's because instead of writing an essay, applicants will read one. That's right!
To apply, students must go online and read a short essay about sprinklers and fire safety. After finishing, they complete a 10-question quiz on what they just read. Each correct answer gives the student a chance at winning one of 10 $2,000 scholarships (maximum 10 chances per entrant).
The American Fire Sprinkler Association (AFSA) Scholarship Contest is open to high school seniors in the United States who plan to further their education at a college/university or certified trade school in the United States. Home-schooled students may apply as long as your course of study is equivalent to that of a senior in high school.

Finding enough funding for college is hard but that task is made even more difficult when college scholarship committees require applicants to meet countless requirements, fill out stacks of forms and write lengthy essays to even be considered. Well, College Prowler isn't most scholarship committees and it's doing things a little differently with its $2,000 No Essay Scholarship.
The folks at College Prowler know students are busy and that times are pretty tough for a lot of people right now…but that's precisely why they've created an incredibly easy way to give back to those who need it. All applicants have to do is complete a brief profile, hit submit and voila, they could win $2,000 to put toward tuition, housing, meal plans, books, computers or any education-related expenses. To apply, please visit College Prowler or complete a scholarship search to find additional opportunities.

It's that time of year: admission decision time. Those daunting, time-consuming and incredibly necessary applications that you sent off months ago have yet to result in anything concrete and you – like many high school seniors across the country – are now playing the waiting game. The process is now, for all intents and purposes, out of your control. (I found myself in this situation when I applied for college and have recently returned to the game as I wait to hear from potential employers.) Worried? Don't sweat it. Here's what to do while you wait:
Mike Sheffey is a senior at Wofford College double majoring in computer science and Spanish. He loves all things music and has recently taken up photography. Mike works for an on-campus sports broadcasting company as well as the music news blog PropertyOfZack.com. He hopes to use this blogging position to inform and assist others who are seeking the right college or those currently enrolled in college by providing advice on college life, both in general and specific to Wofford.

Ten years after NFL-player-turned-Army Ranger Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan, his widow is moving on while honoring his legacy.
After the nationwide outpouring of support following Pat's death, Marie Tillman, along with family and friends, established the Pat Tillman Foundation in 2004. Four year later, they refocused their mission and founded the Tillman Military Scholarship Program that provides about 60 scholarships a year to active-duty service members, veterans and military spouses to pursue their college education. Since the program's inception, the Foundation has invested more than $4 million in scholarships for 290 scholars nationwide. In addition to an educational scholarship, Tillman Military Scholars receive access to the Tillman Community, leadership opportunities and Fortune 500 veteran affinity groups, the chance to participate in groundbreaking research studies in the veterans and military community and much more. "We've been grateful that Pat's story continues to resonate with people," says Marie. "Every scholar has an amazing story," she added. (For more on this story, click here.)

Full-tuition scholarships, half-tuition scholarships, and financial aid packages free of student loans continue to be unveiled at institutions across the country. While it may be too late for many students to alter their college application plans, if you are still looking for colleges for 2009, or if you happen to have applied to one of these schools, you may find the following information useful. This week, The Chronicle of Higher Education profiled several significant scholarship programs private, community, and state colleges are launching or expanding for incoming students in 2009.
Northern Illinois University recently announced the Huskie Advantage, a program that will ensure that all incoming freshmen eligible for Federal Pell Grants will receive enough financial aid to meet the full cost of tuition. Similarly, Montgomery County Community College in Pennsylvania is raising money to provide larger scholarships to students who receive a small Pell Grant or narrowly miss the cutoff for Pell eligibility.
The University of Pennsylvania will be eliminating student loans from the financial aid packages of all students this fall. It's the latest in a string of well-endowed private colleges to put forward generous institutional aid for its students. The Sage Colleges of New York are also following suit, promising to offer aid to meet new students' full financial need in the next academic year.
Two private colleges in Georgia and Minnesota aren't eliminating loans, but they are drastically reducing the cost of college for many applicants. Agnes Scott College in Georgia is offering scholarships and grants to nearly halve the cost of attendance for all recipients of the Georgia Hope Scholarship, as well as an additional $3,000 grant for first-year students. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota offers students with family incomes of under $100,000 financial aid packages that will reduce the cost of attendance to the average price of a Big Ten school. For the neediest 25 percent of students, St. Mary's will provide all of this aid institutionally, allowing students to use federal student financial aid to cover much of the rest of their college costs.

Altogether, over 130 million Americans are living with some type of a chronic condition.
Food Matters
For countless individuals, one simple answer lies with food.
Thousands of people are making the switch to Paleo every day, and chronic health conditions like autoimmune disorders, IBS, and diabetes are some of the biggest reasons.
And a significant number of people have reported experiencing an overall positive effect on their well-being and how they function every day.
The food you choose to eat affects both your health and your risk for disease, and if you're currently dealing with some type of chronic disease, then your food choices can potentially help manage symptoms.

Jaca, today has become a major tourist center and winter sports and adventure in the Pyrenees, but also boasts a remarkable monumental legacy that reflects the significance of its more than two thousand years of history.
It has the first Romanesque Cathedral of the country (s. XI), raised to consolidate the city as a strategic location on the Camino de Santiago. It is considered one of the most important monuments of the Spanish Romanesque art, recognized not only for its antiquity but also to present a personal synthesis between themselves and others, within the scope of the routes of the Camino de Santiago elements.
Jaca Citadel is the only of its kind that remains intact and separate from other buildings throughout the world.
Jaca is a place known for its quiet squares, the authentic flavor of its streets and the proliferation of beautiful parks and recreational areas that emphasize his warm and friendly character. The Paseo de la Cantera, which runs one of the branches of the Camino de Santiago to his entry into the city, is perhaps the most relevant example. This beautiful journey of nearly two kilometers dotted with trees, offers excellent views of the Campo de Jaca.
A few miles from Jaca are several areas and monuments of great interest:
1.- Peña Oroel summit on low altitude (1 769m), but with personality and very familiar in Jaca to be very visible from anywhere in the city. Its summit is far, as the crow flies, only 5 km from the center 5 Jaca.
2.-The Old Monastery of San Juan de la Peña, jewel of the medieval period.
3.-The National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido. It is the second oldest national park in Spain since 1918 and in 1997 became a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
4. Lacuniacha is a natural park, a forest in the heart of the Pyrenees of Huesca. The route through the park, allows us to walk between the different animal species that live there; observe how they feed, how to lie or how they relate and care for their offspring, you can become a wonderful experience.
Apart from the above there are countless chapels, monuments and charming villages within a radius of a few kilometers, easily accessible from Jaca.
It is also the ideal place to develop various sports and entertainment activities: hiking, climbing, canyoning, horse riding, ice skating, tennis, golf and skiing in winter. There are several companies that specialize in adventure sports organized activities for all ages and levels of difficulty.

The mail must go through … the fence? Truck crashes, no one hurtMarch 25, 2015 at 8:08 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news | 11 Comments
We don't know how it happened, but thanks to those who sent photos of this U.S. Postal Service truck crash in Upper Morgan earlier this evening, including this one from Rob. Someone who texted us about the crash says no one was hurt, verified by an absence of an SFD callout on the department's online log.
UPDATE: Pole problem outside West Seattle PCC fixed, store openMarch 21, 2015 at 10:25 am | In Safety, West Seattle news, WS breaking news | 10 Comments
(SATURDAY NIGHT UPDATE: Pole fixed, store open)
10:25 AM: Thanks for all the tips (and the photo!). Police and firefighters are at PCC Natural Markets-West Seattle (WSB sponsor) because, we're told, a utility pole was hit by a truck and is in danger of toppling. The store is still open, we're told, but Stevens is closed off at California on the south side of the store's parking lot. We're en route to find out more.
10:47 AM: Here's what our crew found out: Until the pole problem (which is on the alley off the west side of the store and its lot) is fixed, much of the parking lot is blocked off, as is Stevens from the alley to 44th SW. Thanks to David Whiting from the Admiral Neighborhood Association for this photo:
The parking that remains open is on the east side (along California). The store itself is not affected otherwise. (Added: Here's a photo from our crew, showing the entirety of the pole:)
We'll check back again later.
1:20 PM UPDATE: The store confirmed, when we stopped by a short time ago, what commenter OVR said – they'll have to close temporarily when the repairs are under way, because power will have to be cut. No ETA for that so far. More of the parking lot is open (about half), in the meantime.
6:23 PM: Went back to check. Store is temporarily closed while pole repair is under way.
6:59 PM: Back at HQ, added the photo of repairs under way. No ETA on reopening but we're told the store does hope to reopen sometime this evening (midnight is the usual closing time), so we'll update when there's word.
8:23 PM: Now that the pole repairs are over, the store's open, says Melissa via Twitter, but no hot bar/soup for the rest of the night.
Safety alert: Tree topples near bus stop south of The JunctionMarch 19, 2015 at 5:13 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news | 8 Comments
Thanks to Cindi for the photo – that tree along the west side of California SW toppled this afternoon, taking some of the surrounding pavement with it, so if you are walking along that part of the street south of The Junction this evening, be careful. Since her photo, a tree crew has been on the scene and, we confirmed with a quick trip that way, turned the branches and trunk into chunks, currently piled between the surviving trees. The pavement in this tree's vicinity still looks a little precarious.
VIDEO: What you need to know to keep your kids safe, as presented to Madison Middle School PTAMarch 19, 2015 at 11:43 am | In Safety, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 1 Comment
If you couldn't make it to Madison Middle School last night for the PTA-organized presentation by/discussion with Seattle Police and Parks personnel, no worries, we recorded it on video. (No slide decks, so you can just listen to it in the background by playing the video, too.)
Starting at about 4 minutes in (after an introduction by PTA president Carla Rogers), the first presenter was SPD's local Crime Prevention Coordinator Mark Solomon, who gave an overview of the situation – since the first of the year, in the Southwest Precinct's coverage area (West Seattle/South Park), police have investigated 17 incidents in which youth were targeted. Most of the robbers stole their victims' cell phones; Solomon stressed the importance of not going around openly using your electronics. Most of them were, like their victims, youths, he said. He answered lots of questions about what advice to give kids, both about prevention and about what to do if something happens. Then at about 32 minutes in, Seattle Parks security supervisor Marlan Teeters spoke. His part of the discussion included community-center lockdown policies. And at about 49 minutes in, Madison principal Dr. Robert Gary spoke about school policies and procedures – including an explanation of "shelter in place" vs. "lockdown," and also why parents will likely hear about one or the other before the school gets a robo-call or other notification out. Dr. Gary also talked about traffic/pedestrian safety outside the school and said they're working with SDOT on ways to calm the morning traffic, in particular.

You can help! Denny PTSA raising $ to set up and equip special Block Watch to keep students safeMarch 16, 2015 at 10:03 am | In Safety, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 2 Comments
When PTAs and PTSAs raise money for their schools, it's usually for academic and enrichment necessities that just can't be covered by the school budget. Right now at Denny International Middle School, the PTA finds itself raising money to keep kids safe, in the wake of the recent robberies/assaults against students in their area (and elsewhere in West Seattle).
Denny PTA co-president Catherine Irby Arnold tells WSB that after meeting with police to find out what more could be done, they're setting up a Block Watch as soon as they can – what's above is *part* of their roughed-out map showing the coverage area – and are raising money via their Direct Drive to train volunteers, since they need at least 20. Also, she adds, the money will cover buying security vests, flashlights, and Denny sweatshirts for the volunteers. "We will kick this off as soon as possible. We are all fed up with the rash of security issues around our school. Safety of our scholars is our highest priority."

Here's what happened at 35th SW safety-options meeting #2March 13, 2015 at 9:40 am | In Safety, Transportation, West Seattle news | 46 Comments
By Tracy Record
West Seattle Blog editor
Two days after SDOT debuted the 35th SW safety-design options (WSB coverage here), an afternoon encore presentation filled the upstairs meeting room at Southwest Branch Library.
While the information presented by SDOT's Jim Curtin on Thursday afternoon was the same – most of it in this slide deck – the reaction and questions were not. And that wasn't surprising, since Curtin asked for a show of hands by those who had already heard something about the proposals.
As we listened to the presentation a second time, different facts jumped out, beyond the big ones (five people killed and more than 1,000 crashes in a decade):

Followup: 47th/Admiral signal work to start tomorrowMarch 9, 2015 at 6:55 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | 17 Comments
Work will start tomorrow on the 47th/Admiral traffic signal and other pedestrian-safety components.
A week and a half ago, SDOT announced the project could start "as soon as" this week, and now we have the alert with details of what's ahead:
The Seattle Department of Transportation will begin work to install a new traffic signal, new crosswalks and upgraded curb ramps at the five-leg intersection of 47th Avenue SW and SW Admiral Way at SW Waite Street. Crews will work at this location for up to four months.
Residents, businesses and travelers can expect to see crews and equipment in the area beginning tomorrow, March 10. Construction will begin with survey work and site preparation. Crews will begin saw cutting at the northeast corner of 47th Avenue SW and SW Admiral Way as soon as Wednesday, March 11, with demolition of the northeast corner to follow on Thursday, March 12. "No park" signs will be placed around the work zones prior to the start of work. We will notify adjacent properties prior to the start of work at a given corner.
Crews will begin work to demolish the existing curbs and prepare to set the foundation for new signal equipment. Crews will continue to work in preparation for installation of the signal but there may be a lull of activity between the corner work and installation of the new signal. The existing overhead pedestrian signal will remain in place until the new signal is operational and the crosswalks are marked. No impacts are expected to adjacent Metro bus stops.
During construction you can expect:
· Construction activity from 7 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday to Friday
· Pedestrian and bicycle detours around work areas
· Temporary lane and parking restrictions during off-peak travel times on 47th Avenue SW, SW Admiral Way and SW Waite Street
· Noise, dust and vibration associated with concrete removal and paving
If you have questions or concerns during construction, contact Rachel McCaffrey, construction outreach lead, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 206-615-0925.
According to the city website, the contractor is CA Carey of Issaquah, awarded the contract for $352,026. That's close to the projected $350,000 cost, but considerably less than expected when the City Council decided in 2013 to fully fund the signal. SDOT says the work will last about three months.
Reminder: Meetings this week to see what SDOT will propose to make 35th SW saferMarch 8, 2015 at 8:20 pm | In Safety, Transportation, West Seattle news | No Comments
In case you missed the first announcement a week and a half ago: You have two chances this week to see the "design alternatives" that SDOT is proposing to make 35th SW safer, 6:30 pm Tuesday (March 10th) at Neighborhood House's High Point Center (6400 Sylvan Way), and 3:15 pm Thursday (March 12th) at Southwest Branch Library (35th/Henderson). These will be the first standalone community meetings since the project kickoff in October (WSB coverage here), which in turn followed the February 2014 city announcement of a long-sought safety initiative for the arterial, after much talk but no action despite five deaths in seven years. What happens after these meetings? The process is laid out on the project page.
Dangerous crossing: Westwood transit-hub crosswalk turns up trashed, days after WWRHAH discussionMarch 6, 2015 at 7:07 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news, Westwood | 40 Comments
Just two days after the Westwood transit hub took centerstage at the Westwood-Roxhill-Arbor Heights Community Council meeting, a new illustration of a not-so-new concern presented itself:
(Thursday photo courtesy Joe Szilagyi)
On Thursday, WWRHAH secretary Joe Szilagyi took that photo in the middle of a very recognizable crosswalk on SW Barton between the Roxhill Park bus stop and Westwood Village. He sent the photos to city leaders with this note:
I am writing about the crosswalk from the Rapid Ride terminal site at Westwood Village in West Seattle. At some point overnight or today, a car plowed through the crosswalk and demolished it, while leaving debris all over.
We have asked repeatedly for nearly two years for assistance and budgetary relief to fund proper, full, and safe mitigation for pedestrians crossing here in the form of a controlled crosswalk if possible, and failing that at minimum a user-activated flashing visual beacon. As of yet we have only heard several variations on how this is not feasible, beyond current budget realities, or 'not proper' or appropriate for this location due to the nearby streetlights at Barton and 26th for the Westwood Village entrance.
There is a user-controlled full crosswalk one block south on Roxbury adjacent to the intersection of Roxbury and 26th, by the Safeway supermarket. Why is that location appropriate for these controls to service that Rapid Ride C stop, while the full end-of-line terminal a block away on another arterial is not? It's a miracle that no one was in the crosswalk when this happened.
If this slows traffic down on Barton that is an irrelevant concern to the safety issues. Please advise us with a schedule as soon as possible of when this specific crosswalk's dangerous conditions will be rectified to the satisfaction of the community.
Please note that we are not asking for assistance or guidance on applying for a grant on our own for this. We are asking for SDOT and the City of Seattle to immediately begin remediation of the dangerous conditions at this location.
We were CC'd on that note, and on several replies so far. Councilmember Tom Rasmussen told Szilagyi that he would ask SDOT to respond. SDOT director Scott Kubly said, "I will have my team work with King County to get the shelter repaired and to evaluate what we can do to improve safety at this location." One of the people from whom he requested followup, city traffic engineer Dongho Chang, replied this morning that he would get it reviewed, then wrote again this afternoon:
The sign was repaired today. We'll need to chip out the concrete and install a new post anchor. I had staff review our records and we didn't have any specific concerns that I was able to find today for the crossing. However, I spent some time observing and walking the area and I have some thoughts that I'd like to have a quick conversation with the community.
We verified before sunset that the sign has indeed been repaired:
(WSB photo taken late today)
But that doesn't address the ongoing issue. The e-mail chain continued late in the day with WWRHAH co-chair Amanda Kay Helmick pointing out that the safety issue had been discussed with SDOT's new transit division director Paulo Nunes-Ueno at the last West Seattle Transportation Coalition meeting (WSB coverage here) and that she had a walkaround tour set with him for March 30th. All involved are now deciding whether that is soon enough for an assessment, or whether the timetable needs to be accelerated.
The transit-hub-related issues discussed at WWRHAH's monthly meeting last Tuesday at the Southwest Branch Library involved more than safety. Helmick had already announced that Metro had committed to sidewalk and lighting improvements; Metro's Paul Roybal was at the meeting to confirm all that, saying the sidewalk work will go from 26th to 29th on the south side of SW Barton, and ADA improvements will be included. Preliminary engineering work is under way, he said, and a survey crew will be out soon; if all goes well, work could start late in the year (which would be two years after WWRHAH's original walking tour with Metro and other reps).
Also at the meeting, Metro's Doug Johnson talked about Metro changes that will take effect June 1st as a result of Proposition 1 money. Area residents remain concerned that the 21 isn't getting much and the previously slashed 22 isn't getting anything, with Arbor Heights service still suffering as a result. Johnson said this isn't the only round of improvements; there will be more in the future. Helmick is gathering comments on how the 21/22 reductions have affected riders.
With some other routes – particularly the RapidRide C Line – getting added service, Helmick asked the Metro reps if that meant more layovers and more buses stacking up at the Westwood hub, where the "Wall of Buses" along Roxhill Park has been notorious. Johnson said drivers will still have breaks there but the buses will be moving more frequently to keep up with schedules, so it won't be that noticeable.
Also at the meeting, Andy Thompson from Westwood Village's owners, Madison Marquette. WWRHAH told him the center isn't as walkable as it could be. He said they're continuing to look into pedestrian safety concerns and questions, but that overall safety has been improved since the Seattle Police bike patrols began.
WWRHAH also talked Tuesday night about Roxhill Bog, one year after its first big discussion; a new report about its issues – particularly, why the bog isn't much of a bog any more – is out. We'll publish that part of the March WWRHAH story this weekend.
The Westwood-Roxhill-Arbor Heights Community Council meets first Tuesdays, 6:15 pm, SW Branch Library.
Another safety alert sent to families: This time, Denny/SealthMarch 6, 2015 at 4:00 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news, West Seattle schools | 6 Comments
For the second day in a row, some local parents are getting a safety-alert message from school administrators. Last night, it was Madison Middle School after a student was harassed; today, it's the Denny International Middle School/Chief Sealth International High School community after a different type of incident, just east of the Denny campus. Here's the letter, obtained from Denny principal Jeff Clark:
Dear Denny and Sealth Scholars and Families,
We want to share with you information right away regarding an incident that occurred in our community this morning.
At approximately 7:30 this morning a seventh-grade Denny scholar was walking on SW Kenyon Street from Delridge to 26th Ave SW via the Longfellow Creek Legacy Trail.
When she arrived at the bridge on the trail, a male of mixed race who appeared to be in his 20s or 30s came into view. She was asked for money and then had a picture was taken of her before she ran to school. When the scholar arrived at school, she did the right thing by reporting this to school staff right away. Denny staff immediately notified the Seattle Police Department, and they are actively investigating.
The safety of our scholars is our top priority. Please help us remind your children to walk in pairs, stay on well-lit and streets that can be seen by others, and to report anything suspicious to a trusted adult (school staff and family member).
More tips and information can be found on the Seattle Police Department website: seattle.gov/police/prevention/child/default.htm.
Jeff Clark, Principal, Denny International MS
Aida Fraser-Hammer, Principal, Chief Sealth International HS
Thanks to the Denny parent who sent us first word of this.
Safety alert circulated to Madison parents: Student 'grabbed,' harassedMarch 5, 2015 at 8:02 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news | 12 Comments
Madison Middle School sent a robo-call safety alert to families tonight. We hadn't heard about the incident that triggered it until several parents asked about it; so far as we've heard, the alert was only sent via robocall, and not via e-mail, but one parent forwarded the audio file and we've transcribed it below. The voice was that of assistant principal John McDonald and he described it as "an important safety message regarding an incident that occurred in the community today." Here's what follows on the recording:
This morning, we had a Madison student come to school and report an incident involving an unknown individual. The student reported that a male approximately in his early to mid 20s got off a Metro bus at the same time the student got off the Metro bus near the McDonald's on California Avenue, approached the student, and grabbed the student. After the student went to McDonald's, the male continued to follow the student, asking for money, and then calling the student names, after the student told him that they didn't have any money. The student then ran to Madison and immediately reported the incident to school personnel … (then) the Seattle Police Department was contacted.
The message did not have any additional information about the incident, but continued with safety advice for parents to share with children, including walking in well-lit, well-traveled areas, not walking alone, not taking unfamiliar shortcuts, being aware of your surroundings – acknowledge people but don't "try to stare them down" – don't display valuable items such as phones or money, and not wearing headphones with music blocking out ambient sound and preventing them of being aware of what's going on around them.
We're trying to reach police to find out more about the incident and will add anything more that we find out, though it might take us until tomorrow.
ADDED: Police included this incident in an SPD Blotter post on Friday afternoon.
Followup: Fire Station 29 now set up in interim North Admiral siteMarch 4, 2015 at 5:05 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news | 6 Comments
As of today, interim Fire Station 29 is officially up and running in those temporary structures on the city-owned right-of-way triangle at Ferry/44th/Hill, across from Admiral Congregational Church and down the street from permanent Station 29.
As first reported here in January, this wasn't in the original plan for where Station 29 would go while its permanent quarters get earthquake-safety upgrades and a bit of other remodeling; for many months, the city had said it would instead be located at the Harbor Avenue site that had been used for interim Station 36, and the neighbors of this site weren't notified until eight weeks ago, days before site prep began. They voiced safety concerns but ultimately the plan proceeded, and Engine 29 is now operating out of the temporary station; SFD spokesperson Kyle Moore confirmed to WSB that today was moving day. Also: Battalion 7, which had been based at 29, is now at interim Station 32 on 40th SW in The Junction, home to Engine 32 and Ladder 11 while permanent station 32 is rebuilt, and Medic 32, as noted here last month, has moved temporarily to Station 37. Bottom line – for the next year-plus, you'll see emergency vehicles emerging from places you're not necessarily used to seeing them.
P.S. The future of the North Admiral site, post-interim Station 29, is on the agenda for next Tuesday's Admiral Neighborhood Association meeting, 7 pm at The Sanctuary at Admiral (42nd/Lander).
Crime Watch: Safety alert after student approached; car prowlMarch 4, 2015 at 12:39 pm | In Crime, Safety, South Park, West Seattle news | 3 Comments
Two Crime Watch notes this afternoon:
STUDENT APPROACHED: This happened in South Park, but the student attends Pathfinder K-8 in West Seattle, and the alert is being circulated among parents in both communities, so we were asked to share it:
My 14 year old daughter was approached by a man on Trenton Street while she walked to her school bus stop this morning. This guy obviously had no good intentions! My daughter describes him as Hispanic, thin with dark hair. His car was a gray 4-door sedan of an older (1990s) model. She believes that he was using or on some sort of substance.
His intent was to get her into his car!!! She avoided his questions, got to her bus stop and called the police. She has since given a statement to police (at her school) and her school has been made aware of what happened this morning.
I want to be clear: My daughter felt threatened by this man and that he was very intent on getting her alone. Please help keep an eye out for this person and help keep our kids safe!!!
Via Twitter, the police log indicates this was near 10th Avenue S./S. Trenton (here's a map).
CAR PROWL: Two car prowls are on the police log so far this morning. One was reported in the 7300 block of Delridge Way, and we learned of the other one in this reader report from David:
My car was broken into in the Gatewood area just west of 35th sometime between 1100 PM and 0700 AM. A window was broken and some items removed. It has been reported to the police.
SPD shared car-prowl-prevention/deterrence advice a month ago; we published it then but it bears sharing again:

As mentioned here a week ago, SDOT director Scott Kubly told the City Council Transportation Committee that the 47th/Admiral signal was on the brink of construction – and now, a city alert says construction could be just days away:
As soon as the week of March 9, the Seattle Department of Transportation will begin construction of the project to build a new signal, crosswalks and updated curb ramps at the intersection of 47th Avenue SW and SW Admiral Way in West Seattle.
This project aims to improve the flow of traffic in this area and you can expect to see the following changes at this intersection:

You'll see firefighters at 'the pit' on Saturday – but it won't be an emergency responseFebruary 26, 2015 at 11:16 am | In Safety, West Seattle news | Comments Off
(WSB photo of Murray CSO Control Project pit, from last week)
You'll see a Seattle Fire Department presence on Saturday at the Murray CSO Control Project site – the million-gallon-tank pit across from Lowman Beach – but it's just a drill. We mentioned this briefly last weekend, and now have more information, as promised by Doug Marsano from King County, who writes:
The Seattle Fire Department will practice safety drills at the Murray CSO Control Project site from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 28. The drills provide training for fire personnel to practice emergency procedures on construction sites. They are not part of the project work.
The drills are being conducted in cooperation with King County's contractor. You can expect to see fire trucks and emergency personnel working at the site on Saturday.
For information about the Murray CSO Control Project, please contact the project information hotline available 24 hours a day, 206-205-9186, or visit the project web page.
You might recall that two years ago, firefighter trainees practiced at the residential buildings that were demolished to make way for this project – here's our photo gallery.

What the U.S. Coast Guard search off Alki is aboutFebruary 15, 2015 at 6:41 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news | 4 Comments
(WSB photo)
Thanks to everyone who tipped us about the U.S. Coast Guard helicopter that appeared to be searching off Alki. We went over to check, and got the photo above, but no information from land, and no city public-safety responders in view; a USCG spokesperson we subsequently reached by phone confirms that it's indeed a search – starting with "an unconfirmed report of a swimmer struggling in the water." The person who reported this lost sight of the apparent swimmer, according to the USCG, but they are searching from the air and water until they are sure they've done as much looking as they can. No other information so far.
'Vision Zero' to reduce speed limits on 5 West Seattle arterials; maybe another school-zone speed camera tooFebruary 13, 2015 at 2:28 pm | In Safety, Transportation, West Seattle news | 108 Comments
By Tracy Record
West Seattle Blog editor
Death and injury on our streets is preventable.
So declares the online overview of the city's new Vision Zero road-safety initiative, which lays out changes ahead, including reducing speed limits on arterials, with this year's list including five in West Seattle.
The mayor announced Vision Zero on Thursday in Lake City; the fine print includes a relatively long list of changes ahead for West Seattle. So today, we're taking a closer look. In addition to what's in the document made public by SDOT, we've also followed up to get more information on the timetable for changes, and along the way we've learned of at least one potential new speed-camera location for West Seattle.
First, the plan for lower speed limits. The Vision Zero plan notes that 9 of 10 pedestrians hit by drivers going 20 mph survive – but that survival rate plummets to 1 in 10 if hit at 40 mph. So, a big part of the city's plan focuses on reducing speed limits on city streets.
Click to read the rest of 'Vision Zero' to reduce speed limits on 5 West Seattle arterials; maybe another school-zone speed camera too…
Followup: Interim Fire Station 29′s first structures on siteFebruary 10, 2015 at 9:58 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news | 2 Comments
(WSB photos by Katie Meyer)
The city-owned triangle of land between 44th, Ferry, and Hill now holds the first structures to arrive for interim Fire Station 29.
They arrived early this morning, as per the city plan announced on Monday. Still to come, the temporary structure for Engine 29 itself. The interim site is expected to be in use for up to a year, while permanent Station 29 undergoes renovations and earthquake-safety upgrades.
Building interim Fire Station 29: Trailer halves, early tomorrowFebruary 9, 2015 at 6:39 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news | 1 Comment
With that letter to neighbors of the triangle at SW Hill/44th/Ferry (map), the city has announced that two halves of a trailer for interim Fire Station 29 will arrive tomorrow morning. Two trucks will bring the two 14-by-66 halves to the site by 6 am, according to the letter. It's been just a month since neighbors were suddenly notified that the interim station was moving onto this site during its upcoming renovations and earthquake-safety upgrades, instead of using the long-planned Harbor Avenue site that had been home to Station 36 during its renovations. The city said the change was needed because the response time from the Harbor Avenue site would have been too long. Neighbors will be watching warily to see if their safety concerns are handled, since the site will be a tight fit. The work at permanent Station 29, barely a block south, is expected to take much of the rest of the year. Meantime, the city also is getting ready to move Station 32 out of its Triangle home at 37th/Alaska for a full rebuild; we had timetable details in our most recent update on the 32 and 29 projects.
Fire stations on the move: Updates on interim sites for 29, 32January 29, 2015 at 3:59 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news | 3 Comments
Updates on two West Seattle fire stations that will soon be on the move, temporarily:
INTERIM ADMIRAL FIRE STATION 29: Fencing went up today at the SDOT-owned triangle that will house Station 29 while its permanent home a block away is undergoing renovations and upgrades. This is the site where neighbors didn't find out until the last minute that the planned site had changed. After more than a week of concerns, they had a meeting two Saturdays ago, organized by Councilmember Tom Rasmussen:
(January 17th photo courtesy Ted Johnson)
Neighbors' safety concerns weren't fully resolved – they're still worried about blindspots on 44th, especially at SW Hill and Ferry, even with the city saying that parking won't be allowed on the east side of 44th. That's another impact that concerns them, as they've been told 12 street parking spots will be removed around the site, in all. Regarding the trees, they were given permission for a neighbor to rescue one of the existing trees, a gingko, and they have been promised tree restoration once the interim fire station is gone. Neighbors did not get a commitment for street improvements post-fire station but vow to keep pressing the point and hope to work with the Admiral Neighborhood Association on that. As for what's next at the site, just as we were finishing this story, we heard back from Julie Moore at the city:
We had been waiting for a signed work order from the contractor, the street use permit from SDOT and for SPU to move its water testing equipment. All of that fell into place over last week and the beginning of this week. As such, some activity has begun, including installation of no-parking signs, the Honey Bucket, and temporary fencing. Over the coming weeks, additional work will occur, including grading of the site, preparation for utilities and ultimately delivery of the temporary trailer and assembly of the tent that will house the fire engine. Because preparation for and installation of the temporary facility involves various components that require the work of different trades and inspections, some of the work will be spaced out, so there may be days without visible activity.
Meantime, in The Junction:
INTERIM JUNCTION FIRE STATION 32: Temporary buildings are now in place on the 40th SW site between Alaska and Edmunds that will house Station 32 for more than a year; this site just north of the 4745 40th SW mixed-use development will eventually become a city park. The latest status report says construction is scheduled to start any day now at the 37th/Alaska home of Station 32, which will be torn down and replaced by a brand-new station on the same site.
4:43 PM UPDATE: For this one, Julie Moore from the city says, site work will actually start closer to late February, but crews will start to move out sooner: "The tentative move schedule shows the medics from FS 32 temporarily moving to FS 37 on Feb. 9, the other crews from FS 32 moving to temporary FS 32 at 4731 40th Ave. SW on Feb. 10, and the Battalion Chief from FS 29 moving to the temporary FS 32 on Feb. 17."
Here's what's coming up at the north end of Delridge and beyondJanuary 28, 2015 at 6:43 pm | In Delridge, Safety, Transportation, West Seattle news | 5 Comments
6:43 PM: From the "in case you were wondering, too" file: A reader e-mailed today with the observation, "I noticed a construction sign and cement barriers up this morning on Delridge, north of Andover Street," so we went over for a photo, then asked SDOT, and got this reply from Maribel Cruz:
The barriers you reference were installed to facilitate installation of four new Seattle City Light poles prior to the start of construction of pedestrian safety improvements along Delridge Way SW between SW Andover Street and the West Seattle Bridge Trail.
The pedestrian safety improvements project is scheduled to begin the third week of February and to last for approximately six weeks. It will improve the connection for pedestrians and bicyclists from the West Seattle Bridge multi-use trail to the signalized intersection at Delridge Way SW and SW Andover St., and beyond to the Delridge and West Seattle neighborhoods. Most importantly, this project will improve safety for all roadway users.
Project elements include:
* Widened sidewalk along the east side of Delridge Way SW
* Curb ramps at Delridge Way SW and SW Andover St
* Redesign of 23rd Ave SW where it meets Delridge Way SW to reduce the pedestrian crossing distance and provide uninterrupted sidewalk
Cruz promises another update soon.
ADDED 9:06 PM: This SDOT webpage has a little more information, including a simple map.
West Seattle Crime Watch: Student reports 'flasher' incidentJanuary 27, 2015 at 7:52 pm | In Crime, Safety, West Seattle news, West Seattle police | 8 Comments
7:52 PM: Thanks to the Chief Sealth International High School parents who have sent us this message received tonight by families – first we have heard of it:
Yesterday, while walking home from school, a student was approached by a man in a newer model, gray minivan. A man drove up to the student, pulled off to the side, opened his door and exposed himself to her. This student ran away and reported this incident when she got home and then reported to the school today. Police were notified, took a report and description, and are now investigating. We do not have a license plate, but the description was a white male in his mid 30s, brown hair, wearing a white t-shirt and worn-out jeans, and driving a newer model gray mini-van. Our student did everything right, immediately getting away from the stranger, meeting up with a nearby familiar individual and reporting the incident to her parent, to the school, and then to the police.
The safety of our students is our top priority for Chief Sealth International. You can help your children stay safe by talking to them about personal safety. Tips to discuss are walking in pairs or groups and being aware of their surroundings at all times, as well as not talking to strangers or getting into their vehicles. Having these conversations, especially with younger children, can be difficult. We encourage you to be sensitive to your child. More tips and information can be found on the Seattle Police Department website.
While it hasn't been mentioned here so far, we received this while covering the West Seattle Block Watch Captains Network meeting and are pursuing more information from police; we'll add anything more we find out.
8:14 PM: One additional detail that was not in the school e-mail – the police report says the student wasn't certain exactly where it happened, but it was "near" Delridge/Thistle, which is a few blocks east of the school. This is the first incident of this type that has surfaced in our area since last September.
Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole coming to West Seattle for a community conversation on February 3rdJanuary 20, 2015 at 9:06 am | In Crime, Safety, West Seattle news, West Seattle police | Comments Off
(WSB photo from August 2014 – Chief O'Toole with Karen Berge & Deb Greer of the WS Block Watch Captains Network)
Shortly after Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole started her job last summer, she visited last summer's Delridge Day/Picnic at the Precinct festival. She has not, however, been to a formal community meeting here – but that's about to change. Just announced:
The Southwest Precinct Advisory Council (SWPAC) and the West Seattle Block Watch Captains are pleased to announce a community conversation with Seattle's Chief of Police Kathleen O'Toole.
The West Seattle community is invited to come to the Southwest Police Precinct on Tuesday, February 3rd from 6:30 to 8:30 pm to participate in this community conversation.
There will not be a formal program as this is an opportunity for the citizens of West Seattle to come out and meet Seattle's new police chief.
If you would like more information or have any questions, you can contact Pete Spalding at email@example.com.
The precinct is at 2300 SW Webster, on the NW corner of Webster/Delridge.
Interim Fire Station 29′s sudden switch: Community meeting Saturday; utility work today; response-time difference explainedJanuary 14, 2015 at 2:38 pm | In Safety, West Seattle news | 18 Comments
(WSB photo taken this morning)
One week after neighbors of the 44th/Ferry/Hill triangle in North Admiral learned it was about to become the suddenly switched site of Interim Fire Station 29, work on the parcel is already under way: A Seattle Public Utilities crew is working on the water-quality-testing installation that has to be moved.
Also: A community meeting is officially set for this Saturday morning. Councilmember Tom Rasmussen told neighbors at an informal gathering last Saturday (WSB coverage here) that he would try to set one up, at least to get answers to their questions, and SFD has announced the meeting will be held this Saturday (January 17th), 9 am, at Station 29 (2139 Ferry Avenue SW, a block from the new interim site), with the other two involved departments – Finance and Administrative Services and Transportation – also officially sponsoring it.
SFD also has sent information elaborating on the response-time concerns that it says led to the scrapping of the long-announced plan to put interim Station 29 at the same Harbor Avenue site that had housed interim Station 36 until its upgrades were finished last summer:
The Seattle Fire Department is concerned about emergency response times to the community served by Fire Station 29. The National Fire Protection Association or NFPA establishes national goals for fire emergency responses. The national standard is to have the first arriving engine at a fire or medical emergency to be within 4 minutes, 90% of the time.
The reason for the national standard is time matters in emergency responses. When it comes to fires or cardiac events, every second counts. Fires grow exponentially. Also, with patients who have life-threatening medical emergencies such as heart attacks, the quality of care that they receive in the first six minutes can mean the difference between life and death.
While searching for a temporary location of Fire Station 29, the Seattle Fire Department looked at response times from the 2500 Harbor Avenue site and from the SDOT triangle located on Ferry Avenue SW. The Department ran district-wide response models from both locations. The data revealed that the response time for a first arriving engine unit from Harbor Avenue would average 5 minutes and 35 seconds. A response time from the temporary location would average 4 minutes.
The maps (above) show the difference in responses from both locations. The dark green represents when the first arriving unit meets the national standard of 90%. The dark red indicates when the first arriving unit would meet the national standard less than 50% of the time. As the data map indicates, the Harbor Avenue location would have much slower responses to the community served by Fire Station 29. For this reason, the Seattle Fire Department wanted to keep Station 29 in the neighborhood it serves to ensure a consistent level of fire and medical protection for the citizens of West Seattle.
When determining the location of the temporary fire station, the City did look at a few other sites in the neighborhood, including the Charlestown Café and Life Care Center sites. Neither were viable options, the former due to it being in the permitting process for a residential project that is due to break ground this spring, and the latter because it would have required a zoning change, and having the fire engine pull out onto Admiral Way, then backing into the site from Admiral Way, is not ideal.
Not mentioned is an alternative city-owned site that has been mentioned in the discussion that's erupted since last Wednesday's announcement of the change in sites, SPU property in front of the current Station 29. We're still checking on why that apparently was ruled out or not considered.

About this location
The Devon region
The South Hams: southernmost Devon; between the river Dart and river Tamar and south of Dartmoor, lush farmland and wooded river valleys turning to beautiful estuaries, its coast very beautiful and remarkably well preserved – sandy beaches and mighty cliffs between those estuaries, amazingly little sprawling modern ugliness. Inland too, away from main roads, it remains surprisingly peaceful.
Among special coastal places are Dartmouth; sheltered Blackpool Sands; Slapton's long curve of pebble beach and nature reserve lagoon; the cliffs about Start Point and Prawle Point, Bolt Head and Bolt Tail; East Portlemouth's beach and Salcombe's location and views; Thurlestone proving that family seaside places don't need to be brash; Bigbury's huge sands and the fun of getting to Burgh Island; waterside, oak-wood-sheltered Noss Mayo/Newton Ferrers; many others, less easy of access, are for you to discover.
Kingsbridge and Totnes, both old, attractive and small, are the towns at the area's heart; Plymouth – the West Country's biggest town, with Naval base, ferry port, theatre, cinemas, history, Hoe (great views) and Barbican (where the life is) – is on the area's edge. Dartington Hall is an arts centre (films, plays, music, dance) with lovely gardens. Pleasure cruisers ply the Kingsbridge estuary and Dart and Tamar rivers.
East Portlemouth
From Totnes and Ivybridge to Dartmouth and Salcombe, The South Hams sits between the moors and the sea providing you with the best of South Devon's rolling countryside and 60 miles of dramatic and ever-changing coastline. There are six historic towns that collectively form The South Hams each with their own individual charm and unique characteristics; Dartmouth, Salcombe, Ivybridge, Totnes, Kingsbridge and Modbury. Meander along the pretty narrow streets and historic harbours and you will find a welcoming selection of gift shops, boutiques, galleries, restaurants and bars.
Salcombe is one of the most beautifully sited small towns in Britain, at the mouth of the Kingsbridge estuary, a yacht haven with creeks, sandy bays. Waterside pubs, nice shops. Boats to hire, fishing, superb Nat. Trust cliff walks/gardens; museum, tennis, outdoor swimming pool (in summer); pedestrian ferry to East Portlemouth (lovely beaches, The Venus Café and Takeaway). Thurlestone (golf), 6 miles.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Weekend weather
I have excellent news for anyone who has been walking around their house completely naked because their air conditioning is on the fritz.
The next few days will be hot, but not nearly as (Reader Alert: Strong language ahead) stinking, jungle-style, fry-eggs-on-the-sidewalk hot as it has been the last few (bad word) days.
What I'm trying to say here is you can take those kitchen sponges out from under your armpits now because we are going to enjoy a break from our mini-heat wave.
Here's what my good buddy Dale Marciski from Environment Canada told me Friday morning: "We have a trough of low pressure coming out of the West that will cross Manitoba this weekend. That will bring some clouds and set off some showers and thundershowers in some areas.
"And it will pull some cooler air down from the north, too. Instead of temperatures in the 30s like we've had the last few days, we'll be slightly below normal for July. It will be a bit cooler and maybe more comfortable for some people. There will be humidity, but not excess humidity."
According to the weather office, it will be mainly cloudy today with a 60 per cent chance of showers in the afternoon and evening with a risk of a thunderstorm and a high of 24 C, a tad below the normal high of 26 C at this point in our summer.
The outlook calls for a mix of sun and cloud Sunday with a high of just 23 C. We should stay below normal until Wednesday, when the mercury will soar back to 29 C before hitting 32 C on Thursday.
While the city has been sizzling recently, it hasn't been record-setting hot. Winnipeg hasn't set any heat records, but a few have fallen in the north, including Thompson, where it hit 33.8 C on July 3, beating the old record of 32.1 C set in 1981.
But the Weather Column does not want to hear anyone grumbling about another damp weekend. As my pal Dale points out: "It's unfortunate it has to rain on a Saturday, but it won't be raining all the time and many areas may escape the rain. You can still get out and do some stuff. Just take an umbrella with you." You heard the man, Winnipeg. Grab your brollies and get outside, possibly for one of several walking tours taking place around the city. For example, the West End BIZ offers fun tours of the area's outdoor mural gallery. To book, call 204-954-7900.
Or take a guided tour of Winnipeg's French Quarter, starting at Old St. Boniface City Hall. For ticket information, visit www.tourismeriel.com or 204-233-8343. For tours of the historic Exchange District, call 204-942-6716.
And speaking of using your feet, Salsa Sundays at The Forks is back every Sunday in July from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Get ready to release your inner Latin, because we're talking great Latin bands, DJs and dance classes.
To get you in the mood, join me right now for a few bars of Buster Poindexter's dance-floor and karaoke classic, Hot! Hot! Hot! which goes a little something like...
"Me mind on fire, me soul on fire/Feelin' hot hot hot/Party people, all around me/Feelin' hot hot hot!"
C'mon, everybody, dance with me... but maybe take those sponges out from under your armpits first!
