There was a 'reform school' for Jewish Boys in Puget Sound near Guemes Island. I know someone that was a trouble maker kid in San Francisco that was sent there in the 70's. He stole a row boat and got to Anacortes where he stole a car and drove back to Bay Area. Kick ass story.

Father Brine:

The Wilshire Bowl opened in 1933 and around 1942-1943 it became The Louisiana. Slapsy Maxie's existed in the space from 1943-1947 and was one of the venues that gave Danny Thomas his earliest standup performance opportunities. Eventually, Van de Kamp's Bakeries signed a $1,000,000 lease with Prudential Insurance Co. to convert the former restaurant into a modern coffee shop in 1952. It was demolished in 1982 to make way for a large commercial development.

Well Earth Walker, I guess you could say I'm stuck in a rut, not doing any better or any worse, but I guess if you look at it like a glass of water being half full or half empty.
