    I only remember pretty busy places and no empty storefronts with broken windows. Other than that it pretty much sounds like the Ave of the early 90s.

    I spent a lot of time on The Ave in the 1990s, and it was always sketchy, but it has become a dangerous embarrassment.

    Are you new to Seattle?

    I must be. The city I fell in love with only had the same grim chicks.
    I just got my car window smashed at the fucking Interbay driving range.

    It's always been like this. Im about over it.

    Sounds like we were there about the same time. That must have been 20ish years ago. Ave rats are nothing new.

    Robberies and assaults on the Ave and Burke Gilman are pretty typical and have been for at least 15 years. Usually once or twice a quarter I’d get a notification. I fondly remember the report about a guy beating a student with a tree branch. Actually sums up my UW fan experience pretty well.

    20 years ago I was a drunk college kid and there was always the sketchy shit around the U District. My friends at UW were all Greek so we usually just stayed on the row or went up to Dutchess after games at HS. As for the ave, you kind of expected to see some shit but you were 20 years old and didn’t give a fuck because you were just trying to party and get laid, but the thieves, beggars and drug dealers(utility!) were there in 2000 just like there are now.

    Except there’s just twice as much of that shit and half as many police dealing with it. I stopped heading up to grab lunch at Saigon Deli. It’s just too much of a shit show. Someone’s car is always getting broken into and there’s always a bunch of homeless lunatics falling around on the sidewalks and in the streets. Aqua Verde will do just fine for when I’m down at UWMC.

    Couple of years ago a guy on a Roid Rage knocked out his buddy right there across the street from Bartell Drugs. Dude was out before hitting the pavement

    He kept yelling at his knocked out friend….”WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THAT?”
