Cafe Socks
Description: Without question, The Hurricane Cafe was Seattle's quintessential greasy spoon and the combination of always being open and the great Belltown location meant it was where everyone seemed to wind up after taking in a show. Opened in 1994 by the people that owned Beths Café on Aurora, they wanted a new spot that could be another Beth's, yet closer to the city. As far as all-night diner's go, you couldn't beat The Hurricane Cafe. Breakfast anytime with huge omelets and bottomless hashbrowns as well as killer shakes, burgers, fries, and nachos. Oh, and they also had a full bar serving up some pretty mean drinks as well. It was probably best described as a comfortable dive bar that opened up a diner and made it awesome.
Description: A companion piece to my other works "Mermaid Party Yacht" & "Mermaid Hair Salon", containing many of the same characters. Can you spot them all? All three scenes are from my book “Where’s the Mermaid? - A Mermazing Search-and-Find Adventure”. See more at: www.wheresthemermaid.com
Description: Enfield Cycle Co. Ltd., like many early motorcycle manufacturers, has its origins in bicycles, but it also supplied firearms parts to the British government’s Royal Small Arms Factory which is likely the source of their 'made like a gun' tagline. It created its brand name simply by combining the rather impressive-sounding 'Royal' and the name of the town in which the factory was located - Enfield, England. Their first motorcycle was essentially one of their existing production bicycles with an engine bolted to the front downtube that was produced in 1901. The company went on to create numerous models over the years, but one of the most notable ones holds the title as the longest-lived production motorcycle design in history - the Bullet.
