Fata-^Geed^ExcMMu"” SEATTLE DAY AND NIGHT r I’ve often heard people say: "There's a lot more happening in Seattle than in Portland, as far as entertainment is concerned.” or "Portland is dead compared to Seattle.” I really wasn't in a position to express a candid view of my feelings on the happenings around Seattle because I didn't get around that much when I did go. However, this time I went partially on assignment and partially to get away from it all. So I look an extra couple of days to get an impression of Seattle, day and night. On a friends recommendation I checked into the Edgewater Inn. located downtown Seattle on the banks of the famed Pouget Sound. The rates are too high and the accomodations are much less than I expected. Not only that, the railroad tracks are right across the street, and of course the only time the trains come by is when you're trying to go to sleep. If you're into daily physical fitness, then you probably wouldn't mind staying on the fourth floor (the corridor is so long you think you're walking through a tunnel). The food was comparable to Denny's, nothing to write home about. Entertainment was on the top and bottom floors. The top floor was for the guests of the Inn only. If you are in to Hawaiian music then you were in for a treat every night! The bottom floor provided a cocktail lounge with a pretty good singer at the piano bar. with a full view of Pouget Sound. It's open to the general public. I was trying to figure out where the guests were, they sure weren't in there. The one thing that I found most strange about the Edgewater Inn is that in the four days I stayed there I didn't see any minorities employed there, not even a maid. Why not consider Washington Plaza or the Double Tree Inn next time you go up for business or pleasure. Downtown Seattle is like a city within itself It's so spread out its sort of difficult knowing where it starts and where it stops. The only similarity I really saw between Seattle and Portland are the hills, along with the fact that Portland has a smaller business community. The overall architecture is more attractive in Portland than in Seattle (with one exception, the Space Needle complex, which is out-of-sight). Portland appears to have just as many sandwich shops, boutiques, nightclubs and disco's. I didn’t even n.Aice Seattle's inhabitants being more fashion conscious than Portlanders, even though I did expect it. With the exception of a couple of go-go joints, doubled as pick up points for ladies of the night and hang outs for would-be players and such, there was no one place to find a respectable number of Black people congregated. Since the “Heritage House" closed its doors a few months back, everyone has reverted to the "Cottage”. A combination restaurant with a cocktail lounge in the back that can accomodate 25 people comfortably, but always has over forty on hand on any given night of the week. Seattle like Portland is a dicky city, if you don't know where its happening, either on the night club circuit or private parties - you're out! Fortunately, I knew a couple of people there who I had known in Los Angeles. I asked them to give me a few pointers on the happenings in Seattle, to make my stay more pleasurable. To them, I dedicate this weeks column: Fitzgerald Beave. Publisher and owner of The Facts, Seattle's Black owned and operated newspaper; Joseph and Stevie Williams of Tacoma; Wills Belle and C-Ray. Alice Davis. Carolyn Wilson and Bill Murphy of the Tacoma News Tribune and lovely Jacquelyn Goudeau also from Tacoma. E a s ie r S e a ls a n d you. Who helps a child to talk?

If a friend ever suggests staying at the Edgewater Inn when you visit Seattle: ask him to give you three good reasons why. WASHINGTON PLAZA - DAVE HOLDEN • • • The beautiful Washington Plaza Hotel is featuring the versatile Dave Holden. This handsome Black singer operates his own sound system, while crooning such goodies as “Girl from Impanema", “Love Keep Us Together" and others. ASK FOI SMITH'S PRICE DOUBLE TREE INN - DEE DANIELS • • • This Black beauty will turn you every way but loose, musically. She has the ability to caress a ballad like: "Killing Me Softly,” or belt out a pop tune like: “Make It Real.” (compared to what) just as effortlessly. A few of the New York Nicks were also on hand to enjoy the excellent entertainment by the Joe Borden Trio who are polished professionals, along with Ms. Daniels.

It also has patio lunches, served when the weather will allow iL Plants are from the ceiling to the floor, sun roofs, lots of marble, chrome and sofa lounge chairs. Its on the same style as Jazz De Opus in “Old Town”, but on a larger and more expensive scale, with your favorite spirits available. They offer lunch and dinner reservations, and the service is excellent. Check it out! « EASY TERMS Richard Roundtree co-stars with Peter OToole in the upcoming motion picture “Man Friday.” The movie, filmed on location in Mexico, is an updated version of Daniel Defoe's classic novel of the shipwrecked "Robinson Crusoe." “Man Friday" brings fresh life to Defoe's immortal characters, with new and unexpected twists that lead to a reversal of the master-servant roles.

It too offers the very best in Jazz, only more of it! It doesn’t offer that much in the way of atmosphere. The club is situated in the basement with the restaurant on top. Cal Jauder was there with his group and naturally cooked! I had a nice time all the way around both - day and night.
