Barers of Maple Valley

Thursday, December 04, 2025

Erin just repeated what our WSU professor said in his intro speech for TV news class.

A little music from the 80s today.

Gabriela's, which used to be Stocton's until it closed, is open now for breakfast.

We ate their last Saturday (November 29th, 2025) and the food and service were great.

Eventually, I would expect, the establishment will have a full opening for all three meals.

Great weekend for my favorite football teams as the Washington State Cougars avenged an earlier loss this season and, Saturday (November 29th 2025), soundly defeated the Oregon State Beavers 32-8.

Not to be outdone, Sunday (November 30th, 2025), The Seahawks shutout the Minnesota Vikings, 26-0. It was Seattle's first shutout since the 2015 team beat the Bears, also 26-0.

WSU's last chance to be bowl eligible. The Cougs face the Beavs for the second time this season. Go Cougs!

I think this is a first, Barers Of Maple Valley celebrates Black Friday on the blog. The first shopping day of the Christmas/Channukah season.

Along with Filmore West in San Francisco, another iconic Rock and Roll place, or palace. This was on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles.

This one I actually visited several decades ago, if only for a little while.
