"Ivar's Chowder. Worth surfacing for 75¢ a cup."Sticking with the NW history theme this morning – the photo above shows one of several Ivar's billboards recently pulled out of Puget Sound. Owner/proprietor/Seattle legend Ivar Haglund had the signs anchored under Elliott Bay in the mid-1950s, with the idea that people would soon be commuting around the Sound in personal submarines.

Noooooo! It's a hoax! The thing is, Ivar was such a nut, it seemed like something he would do.

Great photo -- and unbelievable reason for having them down there! That dude must have been bummed by the future.
