From our friends at American Ice Co. (AMICO):
“American Ice Company is turning into a neighborhood flea market for the afternoon on Sunday, September 20, from 2–7 p.m.
The Shaw bar is bringing together a mix of local vintage sellers, artists, makers, collectors and upcyclers for an afternoon of shopping, drinking and hanging out at AMICO.
Expect racks of vintage goods, jewelry, accessories, home goods, art, handmade pieces, upcycled finds and plenty of things you probably didn’t know you needed until you saw them.
Participating vendors include Allie Cat Antiques, Firelake Design, Tasha Jann, KTT Kamp, LaLa Sketchbook, Ndeye.Sock, Bad Craft Academy and Saryval, with everything from vintage clothing and overseas finds to live-drawn art, mending and handmade jewelry.
Since it’s still American Ice Company, the bar will be open throughout the market for anyone who wants to browse with a beer or cocktail in hand, grab some food, or just hang out for the afternoon.
Pets welcome.”

He then passed us at a high rate of speed dangerously close: particularly the parent/child in front, the driver was within inches of running them over.
There’s a stoplight at the bottom of the hill where cars were stopped at a red. The driver stopped, got out of his car, and started yelling at us. He was ranting incoherently about the rules of the road, swearing, and threatening us — all while our children watched. While flailing his arms and pointing exuberantly at the bike lane he smacked me in the face several times hard enough to leave a scratch. Eventually a bystander was able to calm the situation enough that we were able to bike away.
