Remodel Photo of the Day

My wife always says this one reminds her of “Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead” in The Wizard of Oz.  Not sure what she’s trying to say there, but OK.

We (yes, that’s me under there) were remodeling the part of the homestead that was built in the 1930’s. (Crawl space of about 7 inches, yikes).  We had to rip everything out and start over.

If you know of anyone that might be better off to simply buy or sell instead of the fun(!) of a remodel, I may know of a good real estate broker they could call.

And, by the way, good luck getting that song out of your head!

Salmon Creek Grocery (circa 1940’s)

For all of our Salmon Creek neighbors, who can tell me where this “Grocery” store is?

A lot has changed over the past 70 years since my family moved into this neighborhood.  It’s hard to imagine this being the main grocery “superstore” for the area, when we now have Fred Meyer’s, Safeway and Albertsons all within a few miles of each other.

I’m going to go through the archives and periodically post photos from this era… its always fun to see how things have changed.

If you or any of your friends, neighbors or relatives are looking to move into or (gasp) out of the Salmon Creek area, let me know… I just may know of a good real estate Broker who can help.
