Lake City!
Posted on January 1, 2010 with 2 comments
Well, we've finished the move from Ballard to Lake City, just in time for 2010. After celebrating the new year by being sound asleep by 9 (as a recovering insomniac, I can't think of a better way to start a year), we got up early to a house in chaos--boxes falling over, couches on their ends, a coffee machine that DID NOT WORK. (this is a supreme crisis in my house.)
We headed out to check out the new hood, and here is what we found: 2 strip clubs, both within walking distance, and a topless coffee bar. ( Are these everywhere, or only in Seattle? ) I feel like everywhere I look there is a little stand with some semi-raunchy name, like "knaughy koffee" and "kowgirls kold drinks", with signs outside that say-- I kid you not--"no video." So if we want boobs, we got that settled. No more lonely nights in front of the TV for these big-city dwellers. We can also get a variety of used cars, car loans, and happy meals.
Some places, you got to look a little closer. When we looked harder, we found: A drug store, a hardware store, 2 breakfast joints, a post office (much needed for musicians), a model train store (I LOVE model trains), a sushi place, "Thai One On", a couple of large and well-stocked grocery stores, at least indie coffee shop, and (forgive me, Seattle, I do like this place) a Starbucks. In the other direction is a community pool (YES!!!) and one of the very best bars in all of the world, The Fiddlers Inn.
So the next year will find me swimming, drinking, eating breakfast, enjoying in the many topless events within walking distance, perhaps taking out a car loan or two, and mailing many CD's out to you wonderful people. Right??
Happy 2010!!! XOXO
