fuck the fucking seattle times, seattle will continue to pretend to be a world-class city while not giving a shit about public transportation or the working class in general.

In the meantime, Constantine says he'll be sending the County Council a proposal to cut 550,000 hours of bus service annually.

what's biking like in seattle?
― clouds, Thursday, 24 April 2014 13:15 (ten years ago) link
I bike 22miles round trip to work nearly every day. If you chose the right path, it's actually extremely enjoyable. Once you get used to the hills, the whole city becomes accessible. The hills are daunting at first but you'll get used to them after a couple weeks of frequent riding. There are great paved trails, popular biking streets with bike lanes and lots of other bikers out to reinforce your decision to bike. As you can tell, I love biking. My work bag has gloves, rain gear and essential repair tools mixed in with the laptop and pens. The time it takes me to bike to Pioneer Sq from NE Seattle is about 5-10 mins longer than the bus and I go 3 miles out of my way to avoid the traffic and bike on quiet streets and through Interlaken. Biking to and from work is easily the best part of my day.

RIP Paseo. Apparently there were some wage theft issues - http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2014/11/11/paseo-is-closing-and-now-the-best-sandwich-in-seattle-is-gone

Gonna be in Seattle during Thanksgiving week. I need to find a list of restaurants that are going to be open Thanksgiving Day, among my other research for the trip.

Had to explain the nonsexual usage of FAP to my daughter last night – for a minute or so she thought I was coming to Seattle for...I dunno, privacy I guess.
― Pict in a blanket (WilliamC), Thursday, 13 November 2014 17:55 (nine years ago) link
looool
― sleeve, Thursday, 13 November 2014 17:57 (nine years ago) link

I would move to seattle if i knew i could get a job.

apparently I was the one person in Seattle who had never heard of Paseo also the reason they shut down was cause of some really gross, exploitative, racist labor law violations and they can go fuck themselves
― I Love Makonnen: New Answers (The Reverend), Thursday, 13 November 2014 20:02 (nine years ago) link
There's a labor suit pending against Paseo's owner, but we don't know why they closed. Whenever a cash-only business closes, tax issues are a pretty safe bet.
― kate78, Thursday, 13 November 2014 20:57 (nine years ago) link
Looks like they just filed for bankruptcy: http://blogs.seattletimes.com/today/2014/11/paseo-files-for-bankruptcy-may-have-tax-problems/

Paseo's always seemed like a case study in how to make an end to end miserable dining experience. Insane lines, long waits, rude staff, botched orders, cash only, minimal seating, and food so sloppy you end up with a lapful of caramelized onions and mayonnaise by the time you're two bites into your sandwich.
The Stranger is getting really bad about posting their poorly researched, overly emotional snap takes on every local news situation.

Georgetown this weekend:
We're celebrating the legacy of Seattle's early music and comix on Saturday, November 29 as Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery hosts the book launch party for Sub Pop USA: The Subterranean Music Anthology, 1980 -1988. The book documents the formative years of Bruce Pavitt's fiercely independent fanzine, cassette label and music column. Fantagraphics curator Larry Reid was a contributor to the fanzine (under the pseudonym Lewy Louie). Bookstore staffer Russ Battaglia contributed graphics and photos to the zine, which were graced with covers by Lynda Barry and Charles Burns. It was amazing to see the almost immediate infleunce Pavitt's modest enterprise had on pop music. To those close to him, it came as no surprise that within a decade, Sub Pop would impact popular culture on a global scale. The book includes essays by Reid, Charles R. Cross, Ann Powers, Gerard Cosley, and Calvin Johnson, founder of K Records and early Sub Pop fanzine collaborator. Johnson will perform music at the party, which is the first time he'll play Fantagraphics since Beat Happening rocked our wild warehouse party in 1994 (attended by newly anointed princes of punk, Nirvana). Many contributors to the old zine and new book will be at the November 29 reception from 6:00 to 8:00 PM - a great way to end Small Business Saturday.
