8. That's not really Seattle.
Everyone knows from watching TV that Seattle is a charming little hamlet where all photos of the skyline prominently feature the Space Needle and snow-capped mountains.

9. Sounds like someone's been watching too much Frasier!
Or perhaps Sleepless in Seattle, where you can row from Lake Union to West Seattle, without getting mowed over by a giant ship. :D

18. Imagine houses interspersed with trailer parks, chemical plants/refineries
Edited on Mon Oct-25-04 06:59 PM by Lady Effingbroke
and the ubiquitous Wal-Marts. Yes, plural on the Marts, they (the invisible, evil "they") are building the soon-to-be biggest Wal-Mart in the country a couple miles from my humble home-on-wheels, thus ensuring that I shall be surrounded by Wal-Marts in equidistant directions from the 'ol TP (Trailer Park). Yippee!!

The rest of it looks like this....

complete and utter suburban-wasteland crapola.

This is Luther Hospital, where I would rather work:



Sacred Heart Hospital, which I'd like to avoid if possible.



Footbridge over the Chippewa river, on the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire campus:

31. imagine white-white-bread, the occasional Chimpy sign about 10 ft. long
I have to trudge by daily, Birchers digging bomb shelters against the Commies--no--the A-rabs--no--the "military invasion" of illegals, Valley girls who weekend at Xtian rock festivals where they reach out to dumbasses and Commandments with aching, yearning expressions, etc., etc.

Like this if it rains too much.

View from my old apartment.


View from my new place. It sucks unless you enjoy watching crack dealers and prostitutes after dark.
