I figure soon they will require a license to drive. I agree that the rusty pelican has a kinda everywhere and anyplace look. it reminds me of a place in nebraska of Hwy. 80.

I wear dansko clogs and I don’t even like them – I can’t for the life of me figure that out.

Also, I agree that the strollers are getting more and more complicated (and a little scary). I figure soon they will require a license to drive.

The decor looks just like a place my parents took me in Texas in the 80s, and a lot like the places our grandparents in Indiana go today. I don't remember seeing them do a lot of street shooting.

someone calls you on your BS and you’re “joking”

sorry that you don’t like it when someone “insults” you for running down pedestrians with your turbo-stroller

you wouldn’t have your designer panties in a twist if there were not some truth to what I said about my experiences walking down the street in my neighborhood

I would also like to note: i did not indicate what I might be wearing, whether or not I personally have children or even a stroller.

I only commented on behavior I have witnessed

Shit-talking. Apparently the only thing that was proven is that some people who wear clogs also take themselves way too seriously. Thicken up your skin a little and try not to push whatever insecurities you've got off on your neighbors. Maybe posting on The Stranger's boards would be better for you; seems like everybody there gets off on feeding their egos by insulting anyone who doesn't completely agree with their own lifestyles.

They wanted someplace plain, simple. And Seattle doesn't have a lot of that. The neighborhoods are very defined, not by the map, but by the houses, the style, the view and the feel. Wallingford has that, north and south of the main drag. Some of Loyal Heights has that, if you manage to find an area that doesn't have a Sound view. Some of downtown has that, where you have just plain old tall buildings.<br/><br/>I'm sorry if you think that's bad, but, maybe you should take a look around. There are streets in your hood that aren't 'Wallingford' as much as they are 'Everytown'.

I’m sorry if you think that’s bad, but, maybe you should take a look around. There are streets in your hood that aren’t ‘Wallingford’ as much as they are ‘Everytown’.

If they think that pierced faces, tattooed bodies, and African-type earrings are the haute of culture, then they need to wake up and get some class and sophistication. Maybe even travel outside of their sh*tty little apartments on Capital Hill once in a while.
