Ciudad del Lago...

in pursuit of historic seattle telephone exchanges i found a little history on our hood, lake city.
my favorite tidbit was to learn the duwamish word for lake monsters that take people away is "jugwahs". that should keep ray ray close to shore at matthews beach. seems our hood was a hotbed of boozing and prostitution during prohibition. or as the article states, "Joe's Hot Lunches had no lunch counter." oh so far the lc has come, and yet, not.


side bar - the search on telephone exchanges was prompted by snarls post. cracks me up to think of ewing as TUxedo anything. none of our formals, including the reunion were even held in ewing
