Wandering in Old Bellevue

With the rapid growth of Downtown Bellevue, I’m not even sure if most people even know there is
an Old Bellevue anymore. In the heart (well, actually a bit south) of the ever expanding collection of skyscrapers is the type of downtown some cities wish they could have. For as long as I have lived here, and for as often as I seem to end up in Bellevue, I’m actually a bit surprised that I have never ended up here at some point. On the other hand, I’m not sure I’d want to try to park here, so there’s probably a reason for that.

While wandering around here, I happened to run into the Porcella Urban Market, a place I once saw recommended on Chowhound. I ended up having lunch there and mostly found it expensive, although the food was pretty good (More on that later.)

Unfortunately it doesn’t appear that I can post pictures here while mobile, so I will make a post with those later, wheb I get back to civilization (or back to a desktop PC. anyway.)

Marooned in Bellevue

Today my car is at the dealer getting a couple of minor issues looked at. Rather than sit around at home all day, I decided to get dropped off in downtown Bellevue so I could wander around for a while. It turns out I can blog from my PPC, although the functionality is limited (and this keyboard is a bit of a pain to do too much typing on.) It appears I will have some time on my hands today, so I’ll post if I see anything interesting.
