Buddy's HomeSick Cafe - Gone!

       I haven't been to Twin Tepee for about two years, and then only
 for breakfast.  The food and service were both good, and the prices
 reasonable.  In Ballard there is a restaurant, Jack's Farm Fresh, it
 has good food, reasonable prices, and very adequate portions.  I believe
 it is on 15th NW, just a few blocks north of Market Street.  This is a
 good place to eat.  When you park your car in the lot it looks like all
 the parking places are reserved for someone named JACK, but do look at
 the names.
