I love my adopted hometown. It's beautiful, progressive-minded and offers all stripe of excellent cuisine.
The only two things I don't like is the weather (lame) and the City Council (more lame).
We are big on the local mom n pop shop. Small businesses are strongly supported, although if you get too big for your britches (Microsoft) or you sell out (Redhook), the typical Uptight Seattlelite is dismayed.
We aren't angry with you, just...disappointed.
Here's a sampling of local places and taglines to give you an idea of the Emerald City:
Hustler Apparel: Clothes for Stepping Out...of Your Clothes
The LunchBox Laboratory - Home of the "Kick Ass Hour" Cause "Happy Hour" is for Pussies
Men in Kilts Gutter Cleaning
Fremont Veterinary Clinic, Specializing in Animal Chiropractic and Acupuncture Therapy
Blue Moon Burgers: Helping People Feel Good About Bad Choices. IT'S WHAT WE DO.
Calamity Jane's (a restaurant in the Georgetown neighborhood): Soul Food Without the Pig's Feet!
West5 - Ripping Off Unsuspecting Tourists Since 1929
The 5-Point Lounge: The Liver Is Evil and Must Be Punished!
Naked City Brewery and Taphouse: We Sell Beer - and It's Cold, Too!
9 Million in Unmarked Bills (a pub in the Fremont neighborhood): Alcoholics Serving Alcoholics for Over...A Long Time
The Neptune - If You Don't Party Here You Suck
Yep, it's a good town.
