The Local 101 Bar & Grill — 322 Lincoln St., in Hoquiam — just got added to the city of Hoquiam Register of Historic Places. There are 19 buildings throughout the city on the list. Co-owners Kelli Osborne and Molly Moody are “excited” to get the building on the list. While it won’t be open for about six months, they hope to open it sooner than that.

The trash cans are fully-enclosed, have technology that lets users know when they’re full, and look clean. This one shown is at the Aberdeen Transit Center and shows what sort of cans the city will soon receive.

Ainsley King, from left, sets the tone for two of her fellow “The Invisible Cat Band” musicians, Elaine McElroy and Caelin Quinton. Zoe Quinton, who isn’t a Scout, was also involved in the writing and recording process. While they recorded their first song “Potato Bird,” Ainsley provided direction. Despite what looks like a less than fun time with Ainsley’s aggressive pointing, it was nothing less than enjoyable for all involved, including Wil Russoul, who provided the melody for the song.

This isn’t a cave. This is a close-up view of the fountain in front of Aberdeen City Hall. The artistic piece is called “Heaven, Man and Earth,” and it’s by George Tsutakawa. The piece is dated 1997. However the icicles and what appears to be blue dye are new. They popped up sometime in the last couple days.

The consultants for the city of Aberdeen, David Evans and Associates, Inc. (DEA), gave a presentation on the North Aberdeen Bridge Project to Aberdeen City Council and many of its residents Wednesday night. The project has included numerous meetings with the public and will continue to engage the public as it moves forward. The move forward will not be complete without “brainstorming alternatives,” according to the slideshow from DEA. Many in the community want to preserve the bridge for its connection to the late-Kurt Cobain, but safety seems to be the city’s No. 1 concern with the bridge.
