Burien Nissan (their former website is still down and no new one could be found), located in a shiny lot at 16042 First Ave South, closed for business in May under ownership of the Rainier Automotive Group, which lost “flooring” (aka financing) and had their entire inventory reclaimed by Nissan in a 24-hour period in March.
Since then, the lot has stood empty, like a recently-remodeled $5 million, modern ghost town car lot in Burien.

Boehm’s Chocolates, located at 148 SW 148th (near Safeway) has been in business since 1981. According to their website, the Burien location appears to be the only one other than the original, which is located in Issaquah:
We are Boehm’s Chocolates Burien of Seattle. We feature Boehm’s products which are manufactured or distributed by Boehm’s Candies Inc. in Issaquah, WA.
Julius Boehm (1897-1981), the original founder of Boehm’s Candy Kitchen in Issaquah, WA, was of Swiss-Austrian decent. After immigrating to the United States in 1940, he and partner George Tedlock opened the first Candy Kitchen in the Greenlake area of Seattle.
In 1956 the company moved to Issaquah where he built the Edelweiss Chalet and a beautiful Alpine Chapel in the shadow of the Issaquah Alps. To this day the Issaquah Boehm’s Candies plant manufacturers over 150 different confections.
Our location, Boehm’s Chocolate Burien is proud to carry many of these delightful confections.
Whether you browse through our online products or take a trip to visit the Boehm’s candy factory in Issaquah, you will find a variety of products and candies and also Boehm’s products that are clearly identified. You can be assured that Boehm’s gourmet confections are produced to the high standards Mr. Boehm set for candymaking over 60 years ago. Boehm’s is proud of their consistent quality and we are often told there is none better.
So…anyone know if chocolate sells more during a recession?
Any wanna-be Willy Wonkas out there in B-Town?

Where the F*** are the plows in Burien??? (B-Town)

Date: 2008-12-18, 4:36PM PSTThey didn’t plow or sand last storm until it was melting and I haven’t seen them today.
I thought we paid taxes for those services.
Oh wait we have a budget deficit thanks to Ron (I can’t count) Sims.
The cars with bad tires and no four wheel drive do us all a favor and stay off the friggin road.

Date: 2008-12-18, 5:27PM PSTThe very question many residents have been asking all week.
Doesn’t anyone in the Public Works Department know anything about plowing and sanding? They plowed my street Sunday and didn’t put any sand down- instant skating rink!
After days of phone calls from my neighbors and I they came by Wednesday afternoon and sanded. Great timing as it’s all under 5 inches of snow now!
I saw a sand truck on First Avenue this afternoon but not any on 148th or 152nd.
The best part was sitting in the 909 having coffee and watching a guy put chains on his rear tires. Hops in the car and whooops- front wheel drive.
He must work for the city!
So…what do YOU think about Burien’s response to the bad weather conditions? Email us or Comment below:
Always on the lookout for bargains, we found this compelling “free” Ad on Craigslist last week and just had to investigate:
seattle-tacoma craigslist > seattle > free stuff:
Leaves (curb alert!) many colors, shapes and sizes (Burien-just 5 mls. West of SeaTac)
Reply to: sale-910207673@craigslist.org

First come, first serve, must be at least 30,000 leaves.
Every kind of shape, size, and color you can imagine.
And even some you probably can’t.
You better hurry-wont last long?
So, like any good local blogger, we set out to uncover these “free” leaves which were piled up rather neatly in a huge mound on SW 144th, 20-feet west of 4th Ave SW and just north of the Burien Community Center:
And, as usual with media reports, this one’s greatly exaggerated – we spent 6.5 hours on our hands and knees (in the rain of course), and only counted 19,727 leaves, NOT over 30,000!
And that was after a recount too.
You know the economy’s really hit the skids when people are “giving away” twisted and mangled tree stumps for FREE, as if they’re actually worth anything.

Our sister site, the White Center Blog, just launched its latest community-enriching effort, a page devoted entirely to JOB LISTINGS!
The page is set up to retrieve live, continuously-updated job listings for the general White Center area, and can be found here.
Currently it’s set to find jobs listed within a 10-mile radius of the Dub-C.
This is the second community-building effort for the White Center and B-Town Blogs this week; on Monday night we co-sponsored a Food Bank Fundraiser that brought in enough food donations to feed two entire families (in the White Center/Burien areas – everything stays local) for one month!
The new Jobs listing page can be found here.
Found on seattle-tacoma craigslist > seattle > lost & found:
Found this rather amusing “Found” posting on Craigslist (our fave part is the second paragraph, where the Finder starts ranting about receiving nasty emails and advice on what to do with the found camera).
I found a camera in a rental car at the Seattle Airport. I posted a few photos from the camera. If you can identify the camera, the car you were driving, and some of the other photos in the camera, I’ll send it back to you. It looks like a fun wedding! Hope you had a good time.
Please stop sending me nasty emails telling me what I should have done with this camera. I’m trying to do something nice here. I contacted the Rental Company but the prior renter of my car did not report anything lost. The rental company does not maintain a Lost and Found at SeaTac airport. Craigslist is the best I can do. If I keep getting less than friendly emails, I’ll just delete the posting and sell the camera on ebay……how’s that!
Email: comm-798276830@craigslist.org
Last week, we found this rather interesting, potential recession indicator – a Burien business listed “For Sale” posting on Craigslist:
We’ve known of Burien’s Olympic Coffee & Roasting for a while, are aware it’s been in biz since the early ’90s, have bought coffee from them, even used their free wi-fi a few times, and were somewhat shocked when we saw that it was for sale.
Come on – they roast their own beans in the back of the shop, making them (as far as we know) Burien’s only local coffee roaster!
Why would this business be for sale?
Is the recession really hitting the coffee biz that hard (don’t forget Starbucks recent troubles)?
We just had to know, so we did what every other good blogger/reporter would do – we called the owner and arranged to meet with him over (what else) coffee at his place.
Owner Ron Namgoung, 43, was born in South Korea, and moved to America when he was 15. He came to Washington in 1988, and bought Olympic Coffee and Roasting in January of 2006.
In addition to running this B-Town coffee institution, he works full-time at Northwest Airlines.
In other words, he’s a very busy man who puts in 17-18 hours per day doing two jobs.
But his coffee business is hurting, and he appears to be fed up. So he’s trying to sell it.
“I can no longer continue this business,” said Namgoung as he took a break from serving as his own barista, “because I have lost lots of money and still am…”
When asked why he’s losing money, Namgoung paused a moment, then declared “Many reasons – this was my first business and I feel like I was mislead by the realtors who sold it to me; there’s also a recession going on and people aren’t buying $4 lattes like they used to, and…I’m in so much debt now that I’ll probably have to declare bankruptcy soon.”
Namgoung says that he often put in $8,000 to $9,000 per month just to meet his payroll, on credit, but he’s proud that he never missed making payroll.
He ended up going into some serious debt (to the tune of $150,000+), and he now appears to have reached his limit.
And yes, he’s tried advertising in the one local (and obviously troubled) weekly newspaper, where he paid for a coupon ad for four months.
The net result from that expensive four-month coupon ad?
Three users.
But there’s still a chance he can recover, and this could be where you, our faithful and generous B-Town Blog Reader, comes in.
“If I can sell 160 more pounds of coffee beans per week, I can stay in business,” he said in a hopeful voice.
That works out to around 26-1/2 pounds of coffee per week for six local espresso stands, which doesn’t sound like that tall (or venti in this case) of an order.
Will Ron be able to find enough vendors to buy more beans?
Or will he have to sell this Burien institution?
Stay tuned…and in the meantime, why not drop by Olympic Coffee & Roasting and buy some of their freshly-roasted beans (we did, and they’re excellent), buy a cuppa joe, or perhaps just outright buy the entire business.
Feel free to contact Ron with any offers or ideas – he’s all ears:

We have worked both on a “supernatural” TV show (Fox’ “Sightings”) as well as a “kids science” show (“Bill Nye the Science Guy”) so we’ve been on both sides of the fence, which means that we can truly appreciate today’s Craigslist Ad O’The Day about a boyfriend claiming to “see other dimensions” and a skeptic girlfriend’s reaction to it:
Dear loved ones…..
Soooo…..you wouldn’t believe the turn in events with Ben. The seemingly normal guy I have been dating for several weeks? Employed, decently mannered, bathes on a regular basis???
Well, he decided to have a ’serious’ talk with me the other night about something.
What you ask? Lets paint the picture….
Its late. I am tired. Half asleep really….not thinking clearly for sure. Fairly certain that if I blink too long I will drift peacefully into sleep.
But its important! We must talk now! Its been holding him back in our ‘relationship’ and without disclosing this information our ‘relationship’ can’t grow…
Ok. Must be important stuff so I shake off the cobwebs and try to imagine what could possibly be this important at this late hour?
I am expecting he used to be married, has a kid, a terminal disease? Something along those lines…..
But NOOOOO….I could no sooner begin to see this one coming than a nuclear bomb dropped on my house.
He sees dead people.
Ok, maybe not dead people – but people in other dimensions. Apparently since he was a small child he has been able to travel thru dimensions in the ‘clouds’ behind his eyes.
Yep. The clouds behind his eyes.
When he closes his eyes he is able to go thru these clouds and visit different realms and realities. He can have conversations with other people and then remember them word for word. He can even predict that during the winter solstice coming in 2012 there will be such a definitive change in the way the earth aligns with other planets and the sun that it will affect our DNA!!!! Yep! You heard it here first! The earths protons and smallest molecules will be affected – as will our DNA!
Holy sh*t……I better start preparing then! I had no idea that the world was going to change that much in just mere minutes…..11:11p WST to be exact….on 12-21-2012. (start planning your shelter now!)
Apparently those smarty pants Mayans depicted this over 5,000 years ago! And I am just hearing about it? I must be living in one of those clouds Ben sees! Holy smokes……
Well, when I began to question his ‘theories’ on the metaphysical principles he so adamantly states are finite and true!!!! he didn’t take it well and…in true form to those great minds that are misunderstood….threw a hissy fit, called me dumb (ok, he said ‘I wouldn’t expect you to understand’ with obvious sarcasm) and left stating triumphantly….’Adios!!’ as he went out the door!
This is where the shock sets in…..
Wait.
Yep, he just said that. All of it. And my small mind could not grasp the gift of knowledge that he just bestowed upon me so I was deemed unworthy and tossed aside…
Like an old rag. Like I didn’t matter….
Like I meant nothing at all (cue the music please…..)
Well, I don’t know about you but I just must! must! must! get working on my plan to survive the apocalypse that is closing in upon us….I know that my solid body may suffer greatly and my spiritual/metaphysical body may be forever changed due to those pesky protons and neutrons that are coming….
And my DNA…….lets not even think about that!
So, even though it looks like our relationship is over I wanted to pass on the important message that is secretly being spread by the ‘believers’….
Save yourself! The end is coming! 2012!
And, if you please just stop with the negative thinking….embrace the idea that he ‘knows’ this is all real! He (Ben) said so!!!! He has seen it all with his own eyes (over the river and thru the clouds…to Bens mind we go…)
* Oh, and if you know of any NORMAL, single guys that are gainfully employed, don’t live with their parents, and chew with their mouths closed….send em’ my way cuz I am back in the game.
Again.

This sounds like the perfect pet for the kids:

He is healthy, but very grumpy, and IS NOT A PET FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT EXPERIENCED.
He is about 3-4 years old, and small compared to many other beardies.
He needs a loving, patient, and knowledgeable home that can give him care and are not afraid of being nipped in the process.
I am asking $50 for the beardie or $125 for both the beardie and the 25 gal tank with accessories that he calls home now, OBO.

His trip to Maui went fine, I was a day late due to a conference.
Why do you want to know how his trip went?
You must be the lady he mentioned when we were in Hilo.
He said you have a nice looking daughter and thought that you may have adopted her.
He said you stared at him plenty.

And more importantly, will the M meet a Dictionary soon? (“waived”? “convertable”?? “isles”???)
I waived at you from my little convertable roadster as we left QFC – m4w (Normandy Park / Burien)
I was in for some late night shopping at QFC in Normandy Park, and we both ended up at the register together. I saw you had a sizeable load in your basket, so I moved mine forward so you could set yours down. I had seen you down a few other isles in the store and had been enjoying your white hair with the black accents. I was going to strike up a conversation now that we were standing together, but you were suddenly wisked away to another register.
I thought I would have another chance as our transactions were being wrapped at about the same time, but you had forgotten something and went back into the store. As I got into my little roadster, I saw you drive off in your little yellow beetle with the dog in the back. I exited the parking lot and as I turned off 1st ave south, there you were, truning left coming the other way onto 1st. What a beautiful smile you shared with me. I’d love the chance to see it again.

We’ve never heard of a “Sugar Glider” before, so we looked them up.
Allegedly they’re “small arboreal marsupial that is found in the forests of Australia, as well as in Tasmania, New Guinea, and the neighboring islands of Indonesia.”
Yeah, right. We know better – they’re ALIENS! Just look at it – these things are prolly crawling all over Area 51 as you read this!
And somebody in SeaTac is trying to sell one (photo is not of the alien being sold but one we found online):
I have an 11 month old female Sugar Glider, I love her, but I am about to have surgery and I want to make sure she gets the care she needs.
I cant get her to sit still long enough for a picture, but she is very tame and sweet.
She is on the BML diet, with veggies and fruits, along with mealworms. I got her for 200, but I am only asking a 175 rehoming fee.
She will come with a big bag of veggies, mealworms, what is left of the bml already mixed, and some ingredients that are ready to be mixed, and glider pellets, the cage, pouches for the cage and that go around your neck.
It doesnt take her long to get used to you, and she has a lot of personality. She even seems to play peek-a-boo.
Let me know if you are interested, I know Glider’s are hard to find out here!

My wife was visiting her dad up in burien at the hospital. She stupidly left her keys in the truck along with a $2000 camara and her cell phone. Please dont post how stupid she is, she doesnt read this and i already KNOW how stupid she was.
Anyway she calls me up and says somebody broke into the truck and stole her keys, camara ect And a bill with our address on it.
Now i was not always the dogooder i am today so i know how these aholes think. I closed up the blinds and went about my business.
About an hour later i was sitting in the office and i see someone come up to the door. Nothing unusuall about that but i wait and see anyway. Sure enough, after i dont answer he pops the key into the door and opens it. I give him a couple of seconds to get in then i spring from my chair and grab him and put my ball point pen up to his neck and tell him dont f*@king move or i am gonna stab you. (this is where i made my mistake. I should have just f*@king stabbed him and been done with it. I urge anybody in the same situation to not threaten but just to do it.
Anyway he wriggled out of my grasp (i only had ahold of his coat) and got away. I am too fat to chase his skinny ass down.
At least i got a cheap costco coat for my trouble. No ID inside just a couple of starbucks giftcards and a key chain with one key. The keychain is a little tiny level.
If you know someone with a black costco coat and a keychain made out of a tiny level let me know. I would like to return them to him

Saw this posting on Craigslist this morning and just had to share it:
Hello Dolls…
I’m writing this letter in hopes to find someone who is familiar with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Harry Connick Jr, Louis Prima, etc.
I am an 18 year old kid who’s got the heart and soul of Frank Sinatra. I literally live and breathe his music. I show it through my personality, character, and performances.
I sing his music just like him, with an entertaining performance of Dean Martin. I mix them. It’s something I’m well known for with a lot of local artists whom I know through my agent.
I am looking for someone who is willing to share their talent by teaching me how to play piano. I have always wanted to accompany myself on stage to some of the popular crooning tunes but have not been able to because I don’t know how to play!!
I am young, broke, but willing to work something out.
Let me know if your interested.
I have a 4 track demo cd i can send you or give you over a cup of coffee at starbucks, and I also have a video on myspace of a performance from last August. “Luck be a lady”:
Here’s his impressive “Luck Be A Lady” performance from the Teen Idols Performance last year:
From his MySpace page:
Hello Everyone!! I am Daniel Quintero. I am a guy who is going through a tremendous change for the good. Some stats about me though: I have black hair, Green eyes, I am tan 8 months out of the year(LOL), I’m 6′1, and I am a very generous person who get’s a kick out of going on adventures. lol. I’ve been told that my personality is the best thing about me. I am very forgiving, however if I apologize to you for something I did wrong and you feel the need to brush me off, your on the hit list. jk. I live in Burien all alone in a fairly spacious 1 bedroom. I had the most beautiful furniture an 18 year old could have, but I got rid of it and am saving up for DARK BROWN LEATHER and a huge flat screen so that when football season comes around next year..I’m completely set. lol.If Im not singing, then im either working, or with my family. I used to work for my brothers company as an Operations Manager (Some may call it a delivery driver, LMAO), but I recently quit. To be completely honest with you, I put in a lot of hours at work. It’s difficult to see me. But for now I went back to a job I was doing on weekends. I can’t tell you what it is cause I would have to kill you. ha. On the weekends I perform in a group called Teen Idols as Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin. Something I enjoy doing week nights when I’m done with my work is to come home, cook my dinner with a glass of Merlot while listening to Ol’Blue Eyes and just relax. The video below is of my August 2007 performace in Teen Idols, I sang “luck Be a lady” and danced with Libby. If there’s something you want to know about me then I suggest you just ask. I’m an easy person to approach. But for now…’Fuhgettaboutit’
Now, we don’t normally get excited when some 18-year old starts comparing himself to Frank or Dino, but after watching this kid’s vid (which at first we thought was simply lip synched but it’s not!), we were impressed enough to give ‘em some B-Town Blog space.
So…are there any piano players or teachers out there willing to help this guy out?
If so, let us know – we’d love to document the process (can you say “B-Town Idol”?).
It’s obvious that he can sing – let’s see what else he can do!

BURIEN – A Craigslist scam has been sending unwitting potential tenants to a Burien woman’s home.
Only problem is, she’s not renting her house.
Julie McEachern started getting visits and phone calls from people wanting to rent her home, which is for sale, not for rent.
“They were confused when they saw the for sale sign,” she said.
It turns out the potential tenants were responding to an ad on Craigslist, which took words from her own home sales ad.
“They just plagiarized my online ad and used the same language for a Craigslist ad,” she said.
The fake ad caught the eyes of several people who filled out rental applications.
“(I thought) oh, perfect, a home right by the daycare,” said Angela McCann. “And it was a good price.”
McCann sent off the application, not knowing she was turning over personal information to a scammer.
“Scary,” she said. “It’s scary for me because what are they going to do with the information they’re getting?”
McCann started get suspicious when the fake landlord wanted $2,000 upfront and claimed he couldn’t show the house because he was on a three-year mission trip to England.
“Nobody rents without giving someone a walk through,” McCann said.
The scam inspired McEachern to do a little online shopping. She found another Craigslist ad for a home in California posted by the same e-mail as the scammer who copied her ad.
She and McCann just hope no one falls into the scammer’s trap.
“It opened my eyes,” said McEachern.
“I feel relieved that i saw the red flags,” McCann said.
Anyone can find out who owns certain pieces of property on the Web site of the county property assessor.
And renters should always check out a rental property in person. Even without an appointment, renters can always knock on the door and find out whether the property is really for rent.

Last week, we found a rather odd Valentine’s Day-related Craigslist Ad from a guy who lives in B-Town:
I’M LOOKING FOR A FEMALE BEARDED DRAGON FOR MY MALE TO MAKE HIM HAPPY ON VALENTINES DAY.
IF YOU HAVE A FEMALE YOU WANT TO GET RID OF AND SHE IS 14″ OR LARGER (MY MAKE IS AROUND 12″), SEND ME A EMAIL AND POSSIBLE A PICTURE AND I WILL CONTACT YOU ASAP.
I WANT HER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE..
THANKS!!
j_scaman@msn.com
Well obviously he hasn’t found one yet – here’s his latest ad posting from yesterday:
I’m looking for a FEMALE Bearded Dragon.
I have looked at 3 that said they were female and in fact, they were all males.
If you have a female or think you do, please email me some pics if possible and if you don’t know, I can tell you what to look for.
Let me know your asking price for her only.
Willing to pick up asap
j_scaman@msn.com
Come on, people…can’t you tell the difference between a male and female lizard?
And will someone just go buy this poor guy a female Bearded Dragon?
Valentine’s Day is almost here!
