This isn't a picture from Seattle, but it IS a picture of the Liberty Tax Service mascot, representing the replacement of some of our fine Queen Anne retail shops up the block from Peso's. The consignment children's clothing store is gone, Monkey Love Rubber Stamps has moved from a smaller shop to a larger one, wiping out the overpriced paperstore off the block and the sweet boutique filled with purses, kama sutra products and cute clothes for skinny women is gone as well. I will miss the smiling face of that store manager, she was always very sweet.
Now, Liberty Tax Service has swooped in. I wonder if we'll see a cheesy mascot of theirs roaming the street in a few weeks. Take a look at flicker (search keywords: liberty, tax) and be afraid. I wouldn't want to see Lady Liberty drunk stumbling out of Chopstix.
