Yummy Yoggi - the new Renton desert

As of yesterday, Downtown Renton just became yummier. Yoggi Frozen Yogurt is open and serving some mighty fine nonfat, healthy (full of live and active cultures/ probiotics for the body) yogurt and smoothies. Fresh fruit toppings laid right out where you can drool over them, as well as a few of those "not on my diet, but oh well" goodies like Captain Crunch and dark chocolate chips.

It does not even need to be summer for you to walk in and enjoy this sister establishment of Pho Hoa on S. Third Street. John, the owner pictured above, has been wanting to get some yummy yogurt in our city for awhile - and believe you me, he has the goods. Free samples are flowing while they try to get the word out - so stop on by. Pho Hoa is connected through a doorway, so you can even eat your noodles first, planning to leave room for your "afters." WiFi is also available, so you can settle in for a minute and relax.

Pho Hoa has been a part of our downtown scene for 5 years already. How sweet it is to see them grow!

Pretty

This pretty bit of Yarn Bombing, Knit Graffiti, Art Out, Knit Up, Street Art has, unfortunately, already been made shreds of by four Parks Dept. guys with snippers this a.m. - Hope ya'll got to see it while it lasted!

Crime Log - Tonight, at 6ish on S. Third, the lovely ladies that work at the Hair Salon walked around the block to their car when a tall, bald man whom they had seen throughout the day in front of their store, knocked one of them down and ran off with her purse and all of her earnings for the day. They immediately called the police, who were on the spot pronto and a kind couple with their two grandkids stayed with one of the ladies to keep her company while two more police vehicles cruised the area for the thief and questioned the victim about the crime.
Be careful during this holiday season and please - notify the police immediately if you notice anything suspicious.
