We welcome TheSunbreak.com to the internet. It’s a new site for Seattle, covering news and culture stories from around the city. In an interview with TechFlash, publisher Michael van Baker (formerly of Seattlest) says they’re patterning themselves after the Talk of the Town section of The New Yorker. They’re also on Twitter, @thesunbreak, and on Flickr. So we wish them luck! Seattle sure seems to be the hot place to start a new blog these days!

My Ballard points to the city’s Surplus Warehouse, where they are selling used street signs from all over town. There is a PDF listing all the signs that are available, over 200 streets in all. Most of the signs sell for $5, for a “below average” condition sign, or you can shell out $10 for “average”.

So if you’ve ever wanted that street sign from the street where you grew up, or even where you live now, head over there and see if it’s on the list.
