Now that the Denny’s has been demolished, Benaroya Companies will dismiss its lawsuit against the city’s Landmarks Board, reports Crosscut’s Knute Berger. No surprise there. Meanwhile, a Seattle PI reporter standing in front of the demolished Denny’s says she “couldn’t find one happy passerby,” and she discovered this plastic bag attached to the fence.

Her unofficial survey, of course, doesn’t represent some of the views expressed over the last few days in comments on My Ballard, the Seattle PI and other blogs, as well. (Thanks Kristjan for sending us a photo of the sign!)

Also: Another “Flee Ballard” bumper sticker sighting.
