    With as much consternation that there is with that loud car in Belltown, it sure would be nice to have similar quiet around South Delridge from all that unnecessary honking every Tuesday for years on end. Very disrespectful to the neighbors.

      Wild to compare intermittent honking one day a week to someone intentionally modifying their exhaust to sound like gunshots, who drives around Downtown at upwards of 100mph and revs their engine in high density residential areas in the middle of the night yelling “wake up!”

      Totally the same thing…

Sorry, comment time is over.
