The little apartment on the second floor of one of the many old Victorian homes on Chestnut Street is almost entirely empty. Billed as a two bedroom place by Joe, an acquaintance of an acquaintance whose last name will always be a mystery, it appears to have been designed by someone who never lived indoors.

If I asked you to name the Seattle Mariner who hit the farthest home run in the 2025 season, a few answers might come to your head. You may first think that, surely, with the 60 home runs Cal Raleigh swatted in his record-breaking season, he would be the one.
