I’m telling you right now that parts of Bellevue are unrecognizable from 10 years ago.
It’s crazy. We have friends in Bridle Trails who want to move to Sammamish because their neighborhood has changed so much.
Microsoft basically imported an entire generation of foreign workers and N.E. Bellevue/Redmond has totally transformed in the span of a decade.
Still amazes me that leftards want to force people on to unsafe public transportation. It's always force. If public transportation was safe, efficient and a cost and time saver there would be no need for the force. People would be clamoring to use it. It's almost like they don't really care about the public. One upon a time I rode Tri-Met from the burbs to downtown Portland. Bus stop was right by apartment complex and I worked downtown. A quick direct shot. After a couple of years I had lots of direct client conretact and had to travel to their offices and so I started driving to work. Had to show my monthly pass or pay the fare to the bus driver. No cheating allowed. Then the relatively efficient and then safe bus route got replaced by light rail. So now you wait once for your bus, which then goes to a central transit station where you wait for the light rail and added 20 minutes to the commute. You could drive to the transit station and then park. Today, these parking lots are just break in centrals for car thieves. Large percentage of riders don't pay and there is very little to no penalty if you get checked by a fare inspector.
Gets more visitors in hoops season obviously. My picture was once in the HoF, which means I was randomly in the crowd shot behind the actual moment.
You sound pour.
It's okay though. I too am a pour and can't afford to go out and buy vintage GMTs. I just get them as early inheritance.
And it will run another 17 years before you have to charge it with a new battery.
