signs of the times Ballard edition

I took a 2+ hour walk through Ballard the other day.
A brief stop at Mighty O for coffee and an ill-advised donut and then onward, on a quietly cloudy Sunday morning.
It was a fresh shock to see all of the boarded up storefronts and closed establishments. While the neighborhood has been unforgivably bro-ed out during recent years, I have spent many happy days and nights having a drink at the Gerald or the Sloop, or seeing shows during Freakout Festival.
Market Arms (gone for good?)

The Sloop
