Neighbor LINKS: power outage, plant thieves, ramen, suicide bridge, etc.

With so much action going on up here, sometimes its easy for us to become a little Hill-centric. I thought I would fill people in on things going on in other neighborhoods throughout the Emerald City.

- Last night's wind storm knocks power from nearly 3,000 homes in West Seattle.

- Plant thieves hinder a Beacon Hill restoration project.

- Ballard's historic Kolstrand Building gets a make-over, instead of a tear down. (Can we get those developers?)

- Bell St. from 1st to 5th Ave in Belltown will become the city's first "Boulevard Park".

- New Hawaiian noodle house, Aloha Ramen, debuts up in Greenwood.

- The Seattle Landmarks and Preservation board approves the "suicide fence" on Aurora Bridge. Queen Anne Community Council not happy.
