Well it’s finally official! Due to the Liquor Store’s decision to leave us high and dry by their unneccesary and extravagant choice to move to Capco’s complex on Alaska Street, and the fact that Junction area rental space has become “beachfront property” we have been forced to leave our home of the last 13 years. (staying would have meant a 300% rent increase) But instead of crying over spilt vodka, we are making lemonade-coolers and we’ll be moving to a much larger and more affordable space right in the heart of beautiful downtown Burien. The new address is 625 – SW 152nd. We will be closing our California Ave location in early June and hope to be open at the new store around August 1st.

Well, we’re going to be putting the web site back together again after it crashed and came across this great pic of the old West Seattle Luna Park Trolley, so here it is. Luna Park was a wonderful old amusement park located many years ago at the tip of Duwamish Head here in West Seattle. It featured the longest bar in Seattle and was closed down in the teens as Seattle went on a temperence movement due to too many young ladys losing their virtue there during those wild years. Ten years later it caught fire and burned down to the waterline. You can still see the pillings during low tides.
