'An Inspector Calls' classic mystery

Things are not always as they appear on the surface, in Taproot Theatre's latest production of British playwright J.B. Priestley's classic mystery, "An Inspector Calls," which follows the suicide of a young woman in the spring of 1912.

The well-off Birling family celebrates the engagement of their daughter Sheila to businessman Gerald Croft, when they are interrupted by the arrival of Inspector Goole. He is investigating the suicide of a young woman, Eva Smith.

Bergen Place: The antidote to commercial-dreary

Dear Sir:

My husband and I were in Ballard this weekend visiting old friends. They took us on a tour of some of the many recent community development initiatives in Ballard - including your gorgeous new library and the restoration of the old industrial and warehousing district.

What particularly caught our attention was the renovation of the triangular park boarding Market and Leary Streets.
