My brother was just here visiting and I found myself pointing out where so and so got killed and where they shoot your dog in your yard and found that I am getting a very negative view of our city, it wasn’t on purpose it just flows from you so naturally when it happens ALL THE TIME. I did like that I didn’t hear the Rainier Valley Choir “A bunch of sirens” while I was not here.

Ok, I can’t resist.

How about Othello Park and Playground! My favorite activities include:
- Watching the locals communicate with profanities during family picnics;
- Play with unleashed dogs like Doberman Pinchers;
- Hunt for empty dime-bags in the playground;
- Watch people hop the fence near the basketball court to buy drugs;
- Enjoy the smell of wacky tobacco; and
- The very realistic chance that I might witness or be the victim of crime.

Maybe we should clean up these neighborhoods before we start trying to invite visitors. I don’t even want my parents to see wear we live.

You think they’d have the sense to put in a park and ride next to one of these stops!

They should check out the car wash by the Beacon Hill stop.

not exactly a tourist attraction, but it sure would be nice to have one of those around here. Or my old Graham St station back.

I am interested to see what people come up with for the Tuckwila stop. As far as I can tell, there’s a whole lot a nuthin around there.
