The Ave

no_uh

There's always UVillage which is soulless but typically bumless.

80s-90s Ave:

Off the Wall
Second Time Around
Tower Records
Arnolds
Space Port

Always lots of print shops, poster shops.

Big 5 I don't know if it's there still but old timers tell me it was a Nordstrom at one poont.

The only thing getting assaulted on the Ave in the early 90's was any uterus that was somewhat willing to let me in.

Knowing the real @swaye pretty well, I have such a hard time visualizing the guy having gone to school in Seattle. It just don't make no sense.

The graffiti in general between I5 and the Ave is simply depressing

It’s a fucking shit show

I rarely go down there but last time I drive through the area it was flat out embarrassing

I saw The Allies perform their famous 80s hit "I'm in love with Emma Peel" at a club on the Ave around 1984. Good times. Can't remember the name of the club but it was below street level, maybe between 43rd and 47th.

I think they either won an MTV basement tape award for that song or got 2nd place.

Damn Tower Records on the Ave is where I got my first New Order album. That place was great. Also got turned onto Quicksand there.

Quicksand was never very popular but had a great sound for the 80s.

For members of a degenerate website, a lot of you are true blue suburban squares.

"Seattle sucks, it's just depressing." You probably think Anthony's Home Port is how all restaurants shoule be.

Most of you don't know shit about Seattle, I can tell.

The waterfront, downtown, capitol hill, U-district has always been full of homeless people.

1980's Seattle was actually scarier than 2021 Seattle. Seattle has become so gentrified it's ridiculous.

You guys have no basis of comparison. And are mostly lame.

When I was there 2011-2013 besides the Ave rats you'd hear alot about people getting rolled at night in red sqare or on Greek row for what ever they had.
Seems logical for some less than savory dudes to go get some easy cash from the college kids. It sucks but that's the world we live in.

North Ave could get rough my last pub crawl ended the night at what was it...pizza ragzzi? Dunno its bok bok now... anyways two guys start getting into it and one pulls a gun as the other one books and he unloads half a clip at his ass . Luckly he's a terrible shot evey begins to scramble.. My buddy is trying to GTFO befoe the cops show up and my drunk ass was like " hold up we gotta wait for the pizza ". Can't buy memories like that i tell ya.

Rolled in Red Square? Wtf? How?

Uggh Greek row too? You guys weigh like 140 or something?

JFC stop trying so hard.
