I love Vain! They're really nice, interested in their clients and the atmosphere is great. It's not stuffy at all, and the prices are good.

For inexpensive and tasty Italian plus pleasant service I go to Mamma Melina's.

I love Sky Nursery and have to admit that I prefer it to Swansons. Although you have to make the trek up Aurora, it's "freeway close", not far from the 175th st. exit and easy to get to.
They have tons of parking, a great indoor shop full of gardening goodies plus some trinkety stuff (although a lot of that is cheap), a lovely indoor plant section and a giant selection of annuals and perennials all under a greenhouse cover so you don't have to bake in the sun -- nice during hot days like last week. I think their supply is better than the aforementioned nursery even plus the staff is very friendly. Perhaps they deal with a less snooty clientle. Oh, you can also buy bulk gardening materials there. If you pick up only $26 for a yard of Cedar grove compost! (I think that is less than half price for bagged.)
So it's Sky for me.
All that being said, Swanson's has that lovely indoor shop with the little cafe and their bags of materials are located in the parking lot -- easier to load.
Ah gardening season. (-:

I admit I'm a bit of a restaurant snob who considers most restaurants north of 85th St., especially along Aurora, the domain of fast food outlets or questionable fare. But this fresh and clean enclave of good sushi and upscale saki and cocktails is a pleasant surprise in the no-man's land of 137th and Aurora. Tucked in between an auto repair shop, a bubble tea shop and a teriyaki joint, Yamashiro is easy to miss although once inside you could be anywhere. The sushi is good quality and portions generous for the price. The owner is excited about bringing downtown sushidom to northend denizens. *And* they're open till 11pm on weeknights, which almost unheard outside of downtown. What more could you ask for? (Besides a better location.)

I've used Cascade four times in the last seven years, most recently one year ago. They are locally owned (actually remember me!) and I feel like the guys who moved my piano and precious belongings really cared about keeping everything in tact. They also had great attitudes even when they were moving the awful stuff like fire safes and pianos.

Last year I quit my corporate job and wanted COLOR. It's hard for someone with mediterranean hair (long, dark and curly) and who is 46 (10% grey) to achieve that look but Vain did it. No, I'm not walking around with glowing neon head. Instead, Liza Gilbert spent hours with me perfecting the right color-combo of purply brown dye (for the grey) and pink veggie dye. In daylight, especially at the right angle, my head glows pink. Plus the dye doesn't thrash my delicate hair at all.
Her suggestion of extensions to achieve bright color were right on. Kristen put in about thirty braids of dark pink hair that now poke out from under my natural hair. I get compliments everyday. I love going to see Liza at Vain because I feel well taken care of and, although the employees are way more hip than I, I never have felt any attitude at all. Plus the price isn't bad. Go Vain!
