The fascinating building of the Seattle Central Library, by OMA + LMN (Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince-Ramus), where ”digital” and ”paper” cohabit, coexist and complement each other. And the building that was: the Seattle Public Library, opened in 1906, built on the same block as the current masterpiece (last photo).

Sticky Gummy Icky
Just when we were about to locate Pablo, the missing burrito unicorn under Pike Place Market, things started going terribly sticky…

Dedicated in Seattle
It was summer of 1907 when James Casey and his friend, Claude Ryan, borrowed $100, bought two telephones and two bicycles, hired six boys and founded the American Messenger Company that would deliver parcels. Did he know then, that his company would grow to become the giant multinational that we know today as UPS (United Parcel Service)?
This lovely little waterfall park is said to cover the footprint of the original Messenger Company and was built by the Anne E. Casey Foundation, which was started by James Casey and his siblings and named in honour of their mother.
Then, just a block away towards the Occidental Square and adjacent to the Seattle Fire Department Headquarters, another lovely surprise: the Fallen Firefighter’s Memorial, dedicated to all Seattle firefighters that have died in the line of duty since the department began in 1889.
Waterfall Garden Park is in 219 2nd Ave S.
The Memorial to Fallen Firefighters is a life size sculpture by Hai Ying Wu, in the junction of Occidental Ave S and S Main St.

Movie Madness || Portland || OR
In our travels, we’ve had the chance to discover a fair number of comic shops, video libraries and cinema-related exhibitions. But we have never experienced anything like Movie Madness: a video store-cum-museum, with a vast collection of films including some hard to find elsewhere, neatly organised in clearly marked sections, and an exhibition space showcasing original costumes, props and other Hollywood memorabilia, this is one of the coolest places in Portland, a gem to be treasured by Portlanders and visitors alike.
Laura Elliot, playing the character Miriam Haynes, wore these glasses in Sir Alfred Hitchcock’s STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (1951). Her death by strangulation a the hands of Robert Walker’s character Bruno Anthony (reflected through the lenses of these glasses) was a key scene in the film. 
Costume worn by John Barrymore (1882-1942) in Romeo and Juliet, 1935.
Princess costume worn by Yvette Mimieux in the classic 1962 film ”The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm”. The costume was created by Mary Wills who won an Academy Award for Best Costume Designer.
Jessica Lange wore this matching print dress and purse in the movie Blue Sky. Ms. Lange won the Oscar for Best Actress in this film, directed in 1992 by the legendary Tony Richardson.
Peter Boyle wore this brown wool costume in Young Frankenstein, in 1974.
If you enjoyed this mini-gallery, you can find out more about the museum collection (and rental store) on their website @Movie Madness.
