| 11/8/19 Dick's on Queen Anne Avenue North |
Dick’s Drive-in has been a Seattle-area institution for 65 years. When I
think of the family-owned chain of burger joints, I think first of the one on
Broadway (which I sketched few years ago) with its classic drive-in shape
(though in-car dining is no longer an option). The one in lower Queen Anne has
a more modern building, but it’s still a neighborhood icon. On a brisk and
still-partly-foggy morning, I started the Seattle USk outing with a sketch of Dick’s.
Chilled
after standing for more than an hour in the shade, I went back to the meetup location
– La Marzocco Café – to warm up. Housing indie radio station KEXP (DJs
are visible through a window, and the station’s broadcast is the café’s
soundtrack), the café is also a large public space for town hall meetings and other
events. There’s also a vinyl record shop and espresso-making equipment shop
inside. I didn’t have much more time than a hasty sketch of café patrons in
front of me, but I’d enjoy going back to take advantage of the many seating (and
therefore composition) options. The coffee and snacks aren’t bad, either!
