Seattle

I visited Seattle over the weekend and the only thing I could remember about the place was a line from "Frasier" in which Niles opines, "You would think that a city this size would have more than just two boites."

It was disturbing that the futuristic Space Needle now looks dated. That there should be an enormous megalopolis on the west coast of which we are but dimly aware is a sad reflection on our California self-absorption. We are somewhat exonerated by Seattle's unconsciousness of Vancouver.
