There are thousands of people lining Pacific Ave, waiting for Krampus. A genius move would be for the city of Bremerton to turn on the carillon bells.

@JakeWischoff @HaileyAJameson And the former Monica’s site will have a new food bank built there, run by Salvation Army.

A notorious house on Sixth Street in Bremerton, across from the former rescue mission and boarded up the past year, is coming down this morning.

[David Nelson @davnelson]

@JakeWischoff @HaileyAJameson Peninsula Community Health is building a medical respite center there, for folks to recover. Rescue Mission is in Port Orchard now.

[David Nelson @davnelson]

@HaileyAJameson One of them, the old Monica’s, was the boarded up building and it’s been demolished. The old rescue mission is fenced off and now being renovated, like people are there today doing work.

@jerkinyourchain @mrandystevens @TravisSCouture @KitsapSun He is definitely welcome, we’ve published columns from Travis in the past.

@chazzyp4 Are you trying to give Bama a chance?! 😝

@Vince_Dice Taught me a lesson for my political career: People don’t actually want change.

[David Nelson @davnelson]

Y’all know what night it is…

[David Nelson @davnelson]

@Vince_Dice If a future prospective employer ever calls you for a reference, please don’t mention it. A career lowlight.

[David Nelson @davnelson]

@Vince_Dice I will never forget.

Because you won’t let me.

[David Nelson @davnelson]

@krubenstein Oh yeah

[David Nelson @davnelson]

Doing a little research on the Bay Bowl turned up an artifact that says a lot of what newspaper staffing priorities and capabilities were in the mid-1960s. What a gig!

[David Nelson @davnelson]

@jerkinyourchain Still does brother, still does.

@gigharbored

[David Nelson @davnelson]

@gigharbored He’s a legend. Also, who was the legend who wrote the “Bay Bowl has closed” story in 2002?

[David Nelson @davnelson]

@bikebremerton It’s… possible. The same owner/developer has fancy drawings for a downtown tower and years later it’s still a crumbling Eagles hall. So time will tell…

[David Nelson @davnelson]

Bye bye, Bay Bowl…

[David Nelson @davnelson]

@WretchedDog There have been permits filed for a possible apartment building, and the developer also told me it could be mixed use. But none of that is for sure just yet.

[David Nelson @davnelson]

@JeffGrahamKS Look at that sunset…
