Neighborhood joint ventures

Fuel + Red Balloon Company = coffee celebration!

Today's big orange balloons decorating Fuel in celebration of their 3rd anniversary on 19th Ave have us thinking about other neighborhood collaborations we'd like to see:

• Fuel + North Hill Bakery: We're cool with Fuel's current selection of baked deliciousness (especially the big-as-your-head scones) but would love, love, love to be able to get a slice of North Hill's Budapest coffeecake when we're, sigh, too busy to make it up to 15th Ave.
• Sonic Boom + Olympia Pizza: We know there's history here but we'd like to see these two brothers of 15th Ave get together and do a join in-store music and pizza thing.
• Walgreens + Liberty: Shoplifting would be even more enjoyable with a Rusty Nail in your hand.
  
• Victrola + Hillside Quickie: Vic, you've got the seats and the after-meal cup of joe. Hillside, you have crazy field roast sandwiches. Let's get it together.
• Tilden + Red Balloon Co.: This wouldn't really serve a purpose. We just want to see what happens when the kids start running around the French country ceramics.
• Vios + Red Balloon Co.: Ah, much more logical. Your children will never want to leave.
