The same crew that started the myballard blog has created a daily news blog for the greater Greenwood and Phinney region with tons of great local information.  Definitely worth checking out.

Be sure to take a look at this months issue of Seattle Business Monthly for it’s article on the 27 most promising neighborhoods to do business in.  Greenwood/Phinney is listed for its high job growth rate and educated population, among other factors.

New to the lineup of businesses here is Bherd Studios. They’ve been making some serious progress on their new studio downstairs and we’re excited to see their space come to life. To get a glimpse of John Osgood’s style and approach to large scale murals, here’s a vid showing the process on 23rd.

We’re honored to have a new business here leading the charge on organizing the new Greenwood-Phinney monthly Art Walk. Michele Persinger’s hard work organizing this event has been widely supported by the local business community and there is a buzz in the air regarding the kickoff Dec. 12th. The new Art Walk with follow every second Friday of the month.

Greenwood’s new tap house opened last night with a packed audience. We all hope that half of the people who showed up last night will become a more regular audience to the neighborhood. Some of the GC crew went over there to toast the new spot next door and we are pleased to now have a spot to enjoy a well-crafted brew in an upbeat environment.

Not to say our local dive bars don’t have a lot to offer. We’re just thrilled that we have a little more ‘variety’ to now chose from.
Thanks Naked City, and welcome to the neighborhood!

For those of you interested in checking out the latest from Bherd and other selected artists, be sure to stop by Bherd studios for the Saving Face exhibit opening tonight. Featured work includes artists James Madison, Shawn Nordfors, Dean Hudgins and John Osgood.

Here’s a sneak peak of some of the new pieces to the 85th Street location. Show is from 6PM-9PM Saturday Oct. 4th.
