Little Kids, Big City
Last week I was talking with some local indie business people about the need for a space where parents can work and network with their kiddos in tow -- something like a playground or a cafe that was both kid- and parent-friendly. So this morning I was pleased when I received word that just such a spot is slated to open this weekend.
Playmatters, which will celebrate its grand opening this Saturday on Phinney Ridge, is conceived as a place where parents and other caregivers can network while their children ages birth through five can safely play.

I was there for, um, a cup of black coffee. I dropped the card in my
pocket, and there it lived until I discovered it a week after Earth Day
(when I had failed to join the blogging hordes with an
eco-greenie-themed message).

There are a few concerts coming to town that embody the 1970s in all their eight-track, leather-upholstered glory. Do I recommend them? No, not really. But I'm too old to appreciate old music.

Kim O'Neil Screen comes from good stock. That's what her grandfather always said. So after putting together a beautiful bound book for her mother's 60th birthday and witnessing the joy it brought to her and her family, Screen, a graphic designer, decided to launch a press, bindery and custom-book company, which she named -- you guessed it -- Good Stock.
