What's the one thing you miss most about living in Seattle?

But what’s something positive that you miss?TurdBomber said:Seattle was fucking great until about 2000 and when the population was under 700k.
All the new stick skinny tech fags and their 300lb girlfriends have ballooned the population to over 800k and they all suck, have no character, no sense of humor, are fully loaded with social justice bullshit, and live through their fucking phones.

Worked just on the south edge of Belltown in the 90s. I miss the little pubs and restaurants in the area and that it was fun to just people watch at lunch. I loved Two Bells tavern, went to lunch there many times and never made it back to the office. The Ballard Beaver was a cool little place with great shakes and burgers, decor was old Ballard high school stuff. The Dog House a block from the office, the grill at Frederick & Nelson, just to name a few. Used to catch the bus in the tunnel to go to Mariner games at the King Dome and walk back after with no fear for safety. I guess that's all just nostalgia, overall I miss the variety of restaurants and bars.

These days there are sections that resemble a Calcutta slum. But more menacing.booker14 said:Worked just on the south edge of Belltown in the 90s.

The Ave never had a good used record scene in my day. Mostly just CDs. Now it sucks even for that.chuck said:I only ever lived in the U District. There isn't much there to miss. Taking shrooms amd walking around campus and the nicer residential streets on warm spring days when girls wear sun dresses. Good, cheap food of all flavors, record shops, decent bars and even live music all within walking distance.
Not much else.

I’ve had other meals on par with Canlis, but nothing tops that place for the experience. And the location/ view is tits.TheRoarOfTheCrowd said:@DerekJohnson
So when i was a kid, Peter Canlis was among the top restaurateurs of the period, and Canlis, Rosellini’s Four-10 and the Other Place, Trader Vic's, The Windjammer, etc were the best places to eat in town.
As the town grew the restaurant scene exploded as downtown became a vibrant environment. My sister's high school boyfriend was Tony Canlis so we were quite familiar with the family and knew of them anyway because we regularly went to the restaurant as a family. Over the years a lot of family event dinners [weddings, Wakes and family social occasions] were held at Canlis.
The sizzle and pop of Canlis throughout all of their history was always their ability to create a quietly elegant atmosphere with superb service, the highest quality steak, Caesar salad and drinks in town, combined with a cool nighttime view of the water.
This is now the 3rd generation of ownership... after Peter died, Tony and his brother Chris took over the company, eventually Chris wound up being the owner operator, and now Chris's kids are operating the business.. I haven't been there in a while but the place has remained timeless over the last several generations so I doubt that much has changed. -
Only thing that jumps to mind are the gyros and shawarmas from Aladdin Falafel on the Ave. I used to go there almost daily while attending UW. Haven't been there for several years.

I used to live Aladdin Gyrocery. Their back room looks like the place where @PurpleBaze filmed all his death to the Great Satan videos.BleachedAnusDawg said:Only thing that jumps to mind are the gyros and shawarmas from Aladdin Falafel on the Ave. I used to go there almost daily while attending UW.

I'm not qualified to rate them like you do. When I say record shop I'm actually referring to a place where I bought cds. I know they had vinyl in there, but i didn't look at it.YellowSnow said:

Yeah I think 2000 was the point of demarkation between good Seattle and woke faggot Seattle. I remember wanting to move here by my "senior" year at UW in 2002.TurdBomber said:Seattle was fucking great until about 2000 and when the population was under 700k.

When I was a kid, the population was 500,000 and it was liberal but not leftist. We just called SJWs annoying, bleeding heart liberals then.
