Every week the Town Crier blog will look back at Seattle\u2019s near-forgotten <\/span><\/i>Town Crier<\/span> magazine to see what was happening then and talk about what\u2019s happening now. One of the largest sections of the original Town Crier was \u201cWhat People Are Doing,\u201d highlighting things like, \u201cA number of friends motored up to Seattle to partake in a dinner dance hosted by Mrs. Edward Agnew,\u201d and, \u201cMrs. Darrah Corbett celebrated Christmas day with a tree.\u201d In this series we\u2019re revisiting the old column and tying it to our community\u2019s current happenings, asking: \u201cwhat <\/span><\/i>are <\/span>people doing?\u201d<\/span><\/i>
