Bainbridge Island April 27-30, the first time
Bainbridge Island April 27-30
Who would not want to go home to Bainbridge Island, to “Paradise “ everyday.
Thom and Maureen have a house on Grow Ave. be here 3 years, working on an old house.
Nice to be here , getting ready to wander.
First the native Americans came by canoe to hunt and fish, then in the 1800’s settlers came. Only access was by boat or canoe.
Farms,lumber mills,dairies and the early Japanese settlers planted strawberrys, many were sent away during WW11, many people on the island were very sensitized by our country's actions and supported thier Japanese nieghbors.
In 1950 a bridge was built on the back side of the island, then the mosquito fleet would bring people and things, then the ferry system.
The population steadily grew.
Grow ave, is where Thom and Maureen call’home’.
Seems the city wants to widen thier street for cars to go to and from to the ferry. Most locals work in Seattle, or stay at home to work or raise the kids
Then on weekends and nice weather days tourists or people wanting to live the island life in this Boutiqese community.
They roll there cars and themselves down the hill like water to the sound.
Forks aways moving to their destination or chillin’ the island life.
Their island is perfect.
We spent part of a day walking up and down Grow Ave. measuring, exciting neighbors of the big news, the city going to do what it dawn well please. You work, they plan.
Beautiful place, Discovered!!
Reminds me of John Prine’s song about Mr. Peabody’s coal train done hailed ‘Paradise’
Away.
Mr. Peabody is Mr. Caldwell banker.today!
But people seem happy here.
Food on the Island is great, lots of choices.
My fav is the Streamliner Diner, great for breakfast all day, done right, consistence, good.
Biscuits and Gravy $4, you may need a nap afterwards.
Other great places: Blackbird Bakery, Bainbridge bakery,yummy good pastry, then the Public House for the best pub food on the docks, Vincenti’s for great pizza.
I took M & T for dinner at Café Nola, creative plate combos, little pricey for me,I hear the locals go to the Four Swallows for fancy, 'o my', but one last person off my Earl list.
Don't forget Pegasus Coffee House, as billed 'still the hot spot for local color',and for film a great one-screen theater the Historic Lynwood.
Leaving May 1 to wander.
When is a condo in your back yard useful?
