This place is near my house in the Greenwood section of North Seattle. I'm aware that Seattle has a very strong liberal/progressive/bohemian element - which I love - but this! This is the craziest damn store I have ever encountered! The first few times I drove by, I figured it was just a cute novelty place with a website to appeal to that tiny fraction of any market for anything that the Internet is so famous for serving. But since then I've come to learn that they don't - even - have - a - website . . .

Hmmmmmm......

Oh, I stand corrected. My neighbor told me they had no site, and that they'd been there for quite ahwile... (he took me to a Seahawks playoff game so I wasn't gonna argue). The site might be new.

Still, that's a very strange place imo ... kinda eerie how serious they take it. Way beyond "tongue-in-cheek." What other bizarre storefronts like this are out there?

I think someone was watching the Jetsons or Back to The Future II and when the 21st century finally did roll around, they were highly disappointed that reality just didn't measure up to fantasy and so they took matters into their own hands. All it really needs is an old almanac in the window and the picture would be complete.

(kinda funny critique coming from a guy with the Enterprise NX-01 in his sig, eh?)

I am glad the sign says they consult in Mutiny Prevention & Menu Planning!

Those are 2 items I would need help with, I already have my Warp Drive Nacelles ballanced for the Warp field & ready for Warp factor 5. Really need help with Mutiny & synthesizing food!
