How do you measure the impact of a life? Is it the things accomplished? Is it the work done? If you ask the friends and co workers of Nino Cantu, it's in the smiles and love shared on a daily basis. Cantu, 51, passed away suddenly Oct. 12.
18 years ago Nino Cantu started with the Seattle School District as a gardener. He worked many schools in the north end and south end and eventually got the Assistant Grounds Keeper position at the newly remodeled Southwest Athletic Complex. He worked his way up to Head Groundskeeper where he served happily the last few years.
The speaker for the Southwest Seattle Historical Society series Southwest Stories talk on Sunday Oct. 21 is Easy Street Records founder Matt Vaughan He was born and raised in Seattle. As a teen, if he wasn’t shopping at record stores he was working at them. How did a kid at 18 years old start a record store, or any business for that matter? Here Matt is, 32 years later, to discuss the beginnings, and much more.
If you are wanting to be introduced to the beginnings of Easy Street: the seedlings, the risk, the perils, the mischief, and ultimately the success, then this will be your time to sit in with Matt and learn about one of West Seattle’s cultural icons: Easy Street Records.
