Unbeknownst to anybody but me, as I enjoyed a scone and creamy latte at the window table at Lottie Mott's coffee shop, I actually was knocking off No. 6 and No. 10 on the Columbia City Historical Walking Tour.
When I say historic, I don't mean the scone belonged in the day-old bin. But by sitting in Lottie Mott's, I was actually in the 1904 Columbia Hotel, No. 10 on this self-guided tour that I snagged off the City of Seattle's Web site.

TILLAMOOK, Ore. -- Followed closely by their dad, a couple of young boys scrambled up the metal stairs adjacent to the vintage World War II B-25 Mitchell bomber. From their vantage point, the three were able to peer into the immaculately restored cockpit of one of the most legendary bombers in America's World War II arsenal. The sound of the airplane's two 1,700-horsepower engines roared from a video display nearby.
