In a Bushian effort to claim “mission accomplished” before the event is even over, the Mayor gave the city a “B” for effort nearly two weeks ago, even as garbage continues to litter south-end streets more than three weeks after some SPU customers last had their trash picked up.
So it’s not surprising that there was an unprecedented response to our most recent poll asking “What grade would you give the city in its response to Snowpocalypse ’08?” Nearly 130 readers responded and most (35%) gave the city a “D”, while 30% gave local government a failing grade. Only three people thought it deserved an “A”, while 11% said “B” and 20% said “C”.
South-end streets are still a mess in many places. These trashy photos were taken just a few hours ago and while the top one was taken behind a Beacon Hill apartment building, the bottom photo was taken right on MLK, Jr. Way, just south of Othello Station. What gives, SPU? Photo/do communications, inc.
Who to know, where to eat & what to do in one of America’s most diverse zip codes!

I would also like to know why the city has failed to do anything about the no longer Kick'n Chicken & Waffle House (S. Garden St & Rainier Ave South )garbage that has been stewing at the corner of their property for close to 2 months? It's not because of the snow. The place closed & the old owners didn't clean it up, but someone should. Should I Mayor Nickels? I think I would have to trespass.
Plainly the A’s are looney toons and the B’s get paid by the City.
I was thinking the A’s came from Nickels, Clark and Fonzi.
yu said it
looney toons fur sure
