:eek:



Yikes!
The poolhall's a great equalizer. In the poolhall, nobody cares how old you are, how young you are, what color your skin is or how much money you've got in your pocket... It's about how you move. I remember this kid once who could move around a pool table like nobody had ever seen. Hour after hour, rack after rack, his shots just went in. The cue was part of his arm and the balls had eyes. And the thing that made him so good was... He thought he could never miss. I know, 'cause that kid was me.

Stroll, through Pike Place Market, if you can get passed the junkies on 2nd and Pine without getting your throat slit or in the very least spat on and mugged.

Admire the Japanese tourists fresh off the cruise ship gawking like farmyard chickens at the Crip in the car coming down the sidwalk at them with Seattles finest Keystone Cops in tow.

Come check out the newest Hi-rise condo complex complete with view of the NEWER Hi-rise condo complex construction site next door. Units are 660 sqft with all modern anemities and stylish square box design starting at just 1 million!! Beautiful view of Elliot Bay until the new complex is finished!! And whatever you do

don't leave that place.


Oh, wonderful Seattle. How I love and miss ye.

Scrat, I am in stitches over here. It's a terrible thing, all that stuff, but your intro plus the way that article was written is hilarious. I was in Seattle in '98, how'd I miss all this stuff? :wah:

It's changed a lot in the last few years. More homeless, the middleclass has been driven out by high taxes and the crime. Now its just the super rich and the very poor.



Seattle city council is a bunch of loons from the radical left that have absolutely no common sense.



I rarely go there but every time I do it seems worse. It's not the Seattle I knew in the 90s.


It's been going that way since Norm Rice. I met the guy that's mayor now. What are people thinking when they elect these folks? Ya can't blame a goofball for running for office. It's the people who elect the goofball that worry me.
