Fremont and Wallingford have become quite popular. This place is quite unknown. Both Morgan and Kolytiris know most of their customers. Kolytiris prides himself on having an ethnically mixed group of thirtysomething patrons who come to listen to live jazz and rhythm and blues or to dance. At least 90 percent of the customers at Teddy's are familiar faces, Morgan says.
People can almost walk here in their sleep.
The community does not mind the monthly bikers' gathering at Teddy's, Morgan says. The bikers blend into the relaxed atmosphere in the neighborhood and everyone is easygoing. Roosevelt is not a place residents are eager to leave. Her parents and grandparents lived in the area, and she returned a year ago after living in Ballard and Northgate . Taylor's colleague Joanne Barber was less fortunate in finding a house.
