Olympia is gearing up for November, the month that averages nearly 9 inches of that wonderful wet stuff we call rain. But the downpours aren't going to dampen anyone's spirits; there is a plethora of activity brewing around town.
Downtown, Charlie's Bar and Grill will re-open after months of tarps and boarded up windows. The owners of the Brick Tavern in Tumwater purchased the business. Charlie's should reopen in mid November. While pull tabs, spirits and the name Charlie's will stay the same - the restaurant is expanding to include an all ages seating area and extended menu. 620 Fourth Ave. E., Olympia
Across the street at city hall, new councilmembers will soon be voted into office. The contenders for Position No. 4 are Darren Mills and Cheryl Selby, two powerful downtown business owners. And will it be Jim Cooper who makes it to Position No. 7 or Prophet Atlantis? Could Atlantis' super natural powers perhaps save Olympia? No matter who comes into council, let's hope Olympia is better for it.
Heading toward the water, Swing Wine Bar has swapped one fine bartender for another. Bradford Knutson, Olympia's renaissance man when it comes to libations, has left his long-time career of bartending to become an independent sales representative at Pilchuck Distributors. In his place, 20-year industry veteran Tom Perez will sling drinks at Swing, displaced from the recent closing of Ben Moore's, which, if you meander by, you can see is getting an extensive remodel itself. Will it be opening in the near future? 825 Columbia St. SW, Olympia
At The Brotherhood Lounge, aerialists are about to take flight again, after a summer-long hiatus (hot months = sweaty hands = not safe). The re-vamped team is ready to amaze audiences with its color brand of trapeze. Creativity never ceases and performances range from naughty to funny to just plain beautiful. The shows are free and tips are encouraged. New this year is a dance party to follow, with grooves by DJ Fir$t Lady. If you've ever been to one of the impromptu dances parties at past aerialist events, then you know about the twerking, pumping and shaking that goes on. The shows hit the Broho on the first Wednesday of the month, beginning at 8 p.m. Nov 6. Get there early for a good view. 119 Capitol Way, Olympia
Mama Mia! Vic's Pizzeria has been hard at work prepping its new location in the Wildwood building, next to the popular Oly Coffee Roasters and Spud's Produce. While the inside capacity is smaller than the original location on the Westside, there will be more beer and wine on tap and future plans include a large outdoor seating area. They hope to be open by Thanksgiving. Plenty of people will be giving thanks they can soon grab an Elvis Special or Double Crusted Big Vicin the South Capitol neighborhood. 2822 Capitol S. Blvd., Olympia
