I’m sure by now you Seattle readers have read about Linda’s new bar going into the cursed space on 15th. It reminds me of the days when tig used to meet at the Red Line (I still have dreams about their tomato basil soup). Red Line had free wireless, great food, great service, a seemingly good location... What went wrong? {sigh}

Does anyone want to take bets on how long Smith will stay in business? Does anyone have a great tomato basil soup recipe, because now I’m hungry.
