Unfortunately, it looks like the city turned off their webcam!

Dang...I was hoping we'd have a continuous live video feed from there so I could run nekkid thru the park with a big B-Town Blog banner!

Oh well...

You're right - the smoking ban was passed in 2005.

Article has been revised to reflect correct year...thanks!

Oops...thanks for the proof-reading!

Fixed.

Youch - you caught me...thanks for the sharp eyes!

I am so sorry for making this mistake, something I've avoided in the past. The text in the story (including the headline) have been changed to reflect the facts that this happened in unic. Boulevard Park.

Yes, this is for real.

April Fool's Day is long over, so if you're a Comcast subscribe look for it to air locally on CNN.

Also, we love feedback - what should our next ad look like? We're working on it already...

Thanks for your support everyone!

Here's a little local April Fool's issue done by us here at The B-Town Blog:

Be sure to read the Comments, especially below the story on the new high-tech strip club moving into the old Office Depot space in Burien!

Oh, and by the way, in case you didn't read the byline in the story you're commenting on, it was written by Jim Branson...

Thanks Cindy! It was very tasty.

Here's our response to the previous comment:

We respect all opinions here, and this isn't the first impassioned (and perhaps controversial) "guest column" we've printed.

We're trying to keep this blog as a place for civil discussion, and that includes differing opinions from all sides.

One of our goals is to help Burien residents find a place to share their thoughts about local issues.

While we don't fully agree with Mr. Branson's language, we respect his right to speak it, and invite all others to submit theirs, either in comments or via email to editor@b-townblog.com.

Thanks,
