Well Rested in Seattle
First journey back since the ever so delightful, ahem, summer of ‘08. Did you know Seattle has a light rail system now? True story. It’s not very expansive yet but they’re headed in the right direction. Caught the Taj Mahal show at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley - which has an incredibly intimate, lowly-lit kind of amibiance, much like Chicago’s ‘Green Mill’. Several of the city pics below were taken from the Smith Tower Observation Deck, a poor man’s Space Needle, and far less touristy. There were only 5 other people present when we visited. If it wasn’t for the horror-show that is Seattle traffic & the occasional psychopathic murderer rampage, living there wouldn’t be so bad. Spent a little time in West Seattle, a very bike friendly area with miles of paved pedestrian path running alongside the water. Plea to Seattle dog owners: please pick up your pooch’s shit so I don’t step in it next time, k? Thx!
