Deano’s Renamed
We noticed the other night, while eating Cinco de Mayo dinner at El Gallito’s, that Deano’s club has been renamed to Chocolate City. That triggered in my mind a Slog posting I had seen a few days earlier and I dug it up to show to Jodi.
I found particularly funny the “suggested names” for the new Deano’s. One in particular had me in stitches, and it would have been a good dig at both the historic nature of the establishment itself and the city/community members who are always trying to get it to close.
The suggested rename for Deano’s was “Notice of Proposed Land Use Action”. The idea of having this as a name banner posted for Deano’s is just hilarous to me.
For anyone curious about why this is funny (and presumably not from Seattle), the short version is that these are the signs posted all around town by the Department of Planning & Development when they’re about to tear down a building and/or revitalize a neighborhood site. See this earlier post.
