What a restaurant concept -- the Great Depression.
"The Bread Line & Soup Kitchen"
The Bread Line & Soup Kitchen Flier - 1_Front - Seattle Room Menu Collection - Seattle Room Digital Collections
This is the item description for the flyer: "A Pioneer Square restaurant owned by Jack Fecker, Steve Darland and Bill Keegan that attracted customers with an imaginatively themed restaurant: the 1929 stock-market crash that led to breadlines and soup kitchens. There were senior citizen servers dressed in Depression-era clothing and an old car filling station for a bar. In order to find staff when they opened in 1974, an ad was put out for "retired persons." A retired cook interviewed for a Seattle Times article was quoted as saying, "Some of us old bags can work circles around the young." When it was put up for sale in 1980, the ad tagline said, "Depression-proof restaurant.""

Baba Yaga Building
Hi, all,
I'm doing a bit of research on the building that is now Baba Yaga (124 S Washington) in Pioneer Square. There's some great further back history, but it served as a variety of different clubs from 1990-present. I've only got the names of a few, but wondered if anyone had sources that might have photos or anything at all on the 1980s. I know it had repair work done from c1977-1980 based on permits.
1990 became the new home of former Belltown Club Borderline
1992-95, Dutch Ned's Saloon
1998 - 200x, The Last Supper Club, which seemed to also host lunchtime networking events? And it was open at least through the 2003 casting call for "Are You Hot?" a network reality show from the minds of the Bachelor franchise.
Lastly, I know it was The Box House.
Happy to post my full timeline when other research I'm working on is completed. I just have a lot less experience researching the... well, the time span I might have been going to some of these clubs if I'd lived in Seattle then.

Vegan Paneer or substitute?
Anyone have a good recipe you know works for a vegan paneer?
Or a recommendation on what cheeze to buy as a substitute for it? Years ago, the Miyoko's vegan moz balls were okay, but so many of their recipes changed when the company 'changed leadership' & I'm not a fan (and it's impossible to find/maybe discontinued). Vegan feta is just not quite the right flavor, IMO.

Numbness in diaphragm?
I'm two weeks post-op from a robotic full hysterectomy, ovaries left behind. Just today, I'm having some mild numbness around the bottom of my ribs and diaphragm. Is this normal? It just started today, after my walk -- and it's slightly more on the right side than the left -- I do NOT have an incision on the right side at that height.
Got plenty of weird nerve healing sensations, but this one is new and fun, I guess.
