Later this month, a film crew will be on location using a Beach Drive home for a holiday movie, Ira Finklestein's Christmas.  Several neighbors may have received a notice from the Locations Manager providing a "heads up" that they have applied for a permit to use a portion of Beach Drive for the movie and asking some residences to not park their cars on the street during the filming… stay tuned!

NOTE:  The owners of the home where the movie is being filmed wish not to have their location disclosed at this time.  If you happen to know which property it is, we hope you respect their privacy.

WARNING: Parts of these videos may be too graphic and disturbing for some.

This morning, the "beloved Beach Drive bovine" washed up on another Beach Drive property.   The SPD showed up to help resolve this reoccuring situation.   "Officer Jim" noted that one of the cow's legs were broken and wonders if the cow's owner decided to dump the animal into Puget Sound instead of properly taking care of it.

The Seattle Police Department arrived with a police boat to slowly tow the cow away to animal control authorities waiting at Don Armeni Park.   

Additional videos and photos of the beloved Beach Drive bovine are here.

And…here is West Seattle Blog's coverage of this story.

Just saw this tweet from West Seattle Blog:

 
I hope none of the neighbors to the north (or anywhere) wind up with this poor old dead cow too. 

The next low tide today is a 5.20 at 12:06 p.m.   This will be followed by a 9.97 at 5:20 p.m. with the second chance for the cow to land on someone's beach at 11:43 p.m. with a 0.71 low tide.

Update:  as of 9:25 am this morning, the dead cow was around the 5400 block per comment by Lura on West Seattle blog.

Update Feb 5, 2011 at 9:00 a.m.: it looks like the cow has landed by the Menashe property.

West Seattle Blog has this completely covered here… looks like it's not just a muddy mess, it's a legal one too… hopefully no one is harmed while this is "duked out".

If you see someone driving around and taking photos of your home that is decked out for the holidays…it could be the us, the Beach Drive Bloggers.   You could make it easy on us and take a photo of your beautiful home and email it or post it on our Facebook page.   Then we'll share the photos here.   Thanks!

Here's another Beach Drive home that is all lit up for the holidays.
