Nicole Miller takes pride in fulfilling Ballard's needs. She opened Blackbird, a men's clothier, on a Ballard Avenue filled with boutiques that served only women. She stocked Scandinavian black licorice in Blackbird's candy-shop annex when Olsen's Scandinavian Foods went out of business. Now, she's making an effort to ensure the neighborhood's future with a notion that's nearly as old as America itself.

I have a pair of quad roller
skates, Riedell's model number R3. They're big and they're heavy and when I put
them on I feel as if I've strapped a Camaro to each foot. I love my Riedells,
but you may roll a different way.
K2's Eco inline skates sport a unique bamboo frame and are made with a host of natural and recyclable materials, making them a fashionable and environmentally friendly choice for when you join the eight-wheeled traffic circling Green Lake.

Springtime in Seattle
comes with two certainties. One is that there is no way to predict what kind of day it's going to be. It could rain or snow; it could be cold or less
cold; you might even get the fabled "sun break." (Good luck with that.) That
leads to the other certainty: You need a T-shirt and a hoodie to deal with
those unexpected changes in atmosphere, and Choke Shirt Co. will clothe you in one
of each for a price that won't break you.
