It is September 1st, and I FORGOT what the date was until just now. The first means it is Theme Day for City Daily Photo Bloggers. Luckily, the photo I posted below does show an interesting street lamp in an historic district of Seattle called Columbia City. But above is the photo I actually took for today. This is a lamp you will only find in the Rainier Square area of downtown Seattle. . .and it was a bulb shy of actually being square! Please take a trip around the world and see the special photos the CDP family members have for you today. Just click the links below.

This live theater venue in the heart of the Columbia City neighborhood's shopping district angles back from the street and features arched multi light windows. Many people were reading playbills along the front. As the banner indicates, Columbia City is celebrating the centennial of its annexation to Seattle. Like Ballard to the north, it had been an independent city to the south that voted to become part of Seattle in 1907. The merchants' association and community members have worked hard since the 1970s to revitalize the now thriving historic commercial district. The farmer's market and the first Friday of the month $5 "Beat Night" multi-venue live performances bring neighborhood regulars and visitors together for fun and great live music.
