Do all of us have a “golden era”?
I was in my mid-20s when I started my business in the Pioneer Square area of Seattle. It was the center of cool where creatives ✍️ and innovators worked & played. We’d found a home where there were great clubs, restaurants,and similar people gathered. “Startups” wasn’t a word yet, but they were happening. Gordon Bowker (an original founder of Starbucks) was one the early supporters of the Weekly, a Seattle newspaper ️in my office building.
One of my friends from those days was Jerry Gay, a Pulitzer prizewinning photographer who founded “Picture Magazine.” We just spoke this week & I dug up these photos he shot of Chihuly Gardens for a story I was working on in 2012.
My office had a leather couch, ️ chrome & glass furniture and a Bang & Olufsen stereo incessantly playing jazz albums. Roger Downey, one of the Weekly writers, ⌨️ called me “Jazz baby.”
People in the building who drank coffee ☕chipped in & we shared the cost. Roger insisted we always buy “Yuban,” a canned coffee that was more expensive than Folgers and Maxwell House.
Judy, the Weekly office manager thought it would be funny to fill the Yuban can with “Brand ✖️” to see what would happen. Roger didn’t notice. How’s that for the power of advertising?
For many, our 20s & 30s is the golden age and a fun time in our lives.
Do you have a favorite memory of your young adult years?
