This Capitol Hill resident posted a sign notifying birds that they are not welcome in his unit, but it was a complete waste of ink and paper because as everyone knows, birds can’t rea … wait a minute … hold on here … awwwwwwwwwwwwwww … I see what this guy did here! Touche’, random attention whore …...

How cold was it this past week? Cold enough to play basketball on Cal Anderson Park’s water whateveritis thing. For reasons unknown, the basketball was abandoned by its owner, as was an orange (middle-left of last photo). I can just see the 39 year-old kidult throwing it in there while screaming “I took Vitamin C before my dodgeball game last...

Yesterday was an exciting day for yours truly. It’s a day I had been eagerly awaiting for months. Yesterday, Pike Grocery finally opened its doors, and as soon as my ferry docked, I beat a hasty path to its doors. What I found left me quite pleased. A grocery, a convenience store, a deli, oh my. Beer, wine, salty snacks, milk, produce … Pike...

Congratulations Evil, you beat Stupid. You must be so very, very proud. Today, we’ll celebrate, but tomorrow, well, tomorrow, we’ll all go back to complaining about the government we just elected. After all, we’re Seattleites. Complaining is what we do. “Oh the weather is so bad, it always rains here!” … as if it’s...

Download Video: MP4 Last night was Halloween, or depending on when I had time to post this, maybe it was the night before. We walked to Hilltop, where we went trick-or-treating. There was a flash mob there. I took pictures and a video. On the way, we encountered three groups of people who had wheelbarrows full of candy. They gave us some candy....

Products are on the shelves, and it looks almost ready to go. Last night, on my way up the hill to trick-or-treat, I peered inside the new Pike Grocery, and I was surprised by the size of the interior. The store is going to be bigger than I thought. It’s more than a convenience store, it’s literally what it says … a grocery. After taking a...

Yesterday, “Hilloween” (Capitol Hill Halloween) was once again celebrated in Cal Anderson Park. Kids aged 1-51 got freebies from local businesses, played games, and were treated to concerts from a variety of performers … the most popular being the Recess Monkey, a children’s music group based right here in Seattle. The festivities were...

Parking for 180 vehicles? 180 vehicles??!! Fuck you cocksucking surburban sons of assfucking bitches and your piece of shit poser future tenants. If I didn’t have a small dick and a shy bladder, I’d piss on every last one of you.

The First Hill Streetcar is coming right along. Which begs the question, with all the buses that run along Broadway … why a streetcar? Well, the other week, I flipped through a book called “Stuff White People Like”, and I finally found the answer. 147 Public Transportation That Is Not a Bus 147 Public Transportation That Is Not a...

You don’t see this kind of graffiti in South Central LA. Can you image a gang running around any other city calling themselves the “Sissies”, and living more than 5 minutes to tell about it? Anyway, now that they’ve eliminated their arch-rivals, the Effervescent Rollin’ Pansies, the Sissies now own the mean streets of Seattle,...

Tracks for the First Hill Streetcar have finally made their way to Broadway. It’s both an ugly thing, and a beautiful thing.

“Well, you didn’t get it from me!” “Does this hat make me look gay?” “No, I don’t even like girls!” “All of my shorts are in the wash.” “The molecular weight of Tungsten is 183.84, duh!” So many titles, so little space in the...

On this spot, last week, another cyclist was killed by an automobile driver. His name was Nap Cantwell. I actually heard this collision take place, and I’ve been just sick about it ever since. It is why I purposely waited at least one week to mention it. Had I written about it the next day, I probably would have … well, let’s just say that I...

A wife? Ewwww. Kids? No way. A minivan? Not if their lives depended on it. Clothes that fit? Not ’til mom comes by to do laundry. Hula-hooping in Cal Anderson Park? Now that’s something a 35 year-old Seattleite can get up before noon...

Most people call it the “Capitol Hill Light Rail Station”, some call it “The Capitol Hill Link Station”, but I’m not a fan of either of those terms. I mean, is there a Capitol Hill heavy rail station that I am not aware of? What is a “Link” anyway? In my opinion, “Subway” is a universally-recognized,...

I know, I know, department store updates aren’t sexy, and most people don’t understand what the big deal is, but Downtown Seattle’s new “City Target” is somewhat of a big development for those of us who live down here in the core … places like Downtown, Pike-Pine, First Hill, Belltown, etc. It will change our shopping...

When I tell people that I intend to run for mayor of Seattle, they either laugh or just look at me like I’m crazy. I don’t suppose I really blame them. If they told me that they intended to do the same, I might laugh or look at them like they were crazy as well. Here’s the thing about my impending mayoral run, though … I’m fully...

I love the Broadway Farmer’s Market. Who doesn’t? That being said, if I had to choose between the market, which operates one day per week … and the streetcar, which will operate every day … well, let’s just say that I’m going to need to up my V8 consumption to compensate for the lack of fresh produce. While I sympathize with...

Just saw this at 12th & Pine. Next Saturday at Lo-Fi on Eastlake. Sweet.

City Market. Home of the highest prices, rudest service, and most expiredest food in all of Capitol Hill. Despite it all, however, I love the place. It’s like the abusive stepfather with a heart of gold that I never had. Sure, it slaps me around, calls me a worthless sonofabitch, and makes me scrub the toilet with a toothbrush … but it always...

All hail the liberation of Pike-Pine! The BMW Concentration Camp, where thousands upon thousands of good, upstanding people were sentenced to years upon years of hard douchebaggery, is finally coming down. In its place will be … wait … what? … oh fuck me … another douchebag dormitory? Really? Details of the new project are on the Capitol...

After all this time, it’s nice to see that there are places in Pike-Pine that still welcome half-literate pygmy goat fuckers with open arms. Thank you, R Place, for you shall always be my...

Come on, guys, what the hell is this all about? “Slut”? “Fuck”? What are you people, eight years old? Oooooh, you wrote a naughty word. You, you, you, rebels! Regardless of my affinity for a business, a closed one at that, I never want to see it vandalized. With the possibile exception of the architecturual abortion planned for Melrose...
