What are your memories of Frango candies?

An iconic piece of Seattle history, the Frango once drew fans and crowds to Frederick & Nelson's department store - and people still want to talk about it. Take a look back at a past Mossback episode as we explore the sweet history of the Frango.

In the early 1990s, Seafirst Bank's "Versatel" ATMs in Puget Sound area used to sell First-Class postage stamps as well as (pro-rated) monthly Metro passes (only at select ATMs in downtown Seattle).

I thought it was a cool idea and I used them regularly but it did not seem to catch on beyond Seafirst.

Construction of Seattle’s Montlake Bridge finished in 1925. In the 70 years before that, there were at least a dozen different ways to cross that land between Lake Union and Lake Washington. https://ba-kground.com/montlake-crossings-in-a-simple-timeline/ #Seattle #SeattleHistory

The interesting part of this review is that Brewster seems to think there can be only one way to understand #history. Either #Seattle was a middle class utopia or it was founded on the backs of transitory minorities

This is the start of a new series for my YouTube channel; I’ll produce a history ride video every 2 months (along with other content). My goal is to tell interesting stories while keeping video length around 12-13 minutes. I hope y’all enjoy them!
