Just back from hell on earth..Southcenter I need to do this, bear with me my top ten peeves

1)Drivers not using turn signals

2)Drivers using turn signal like a magic wand

3)If I let you out into traffic, acknowledge the fact,take your big mac/starbucks/phone/kid or whatever the hell outta your mouth and wave thanks.

4)For the love of your God or any God please learn to parallel park, if you can’t, get the bus.

5) At the store don’t wish me a nice day or say have a good one, we all know you don’t mean it so don’t say it,ok?

6)If I’m at the checkstand why ask me if I’ve found everything I was looking for??? If I hadn’t I wouldn’t be checking out fool.

7)It’s Christmas,ok. Christmas. Nothing else ok?? Christmas. Not Holidays,or happy season or whatever the hell it’s Christmas ok?? Get a ladder and get over it.

8)If I’m walking towards you on the sidewalk,don’t look at your shoes,open your gob and say hi.

9) No I don’t want another damn cell phone,christmas tree,red candle,frozen turkey,fruit cake,gallon of egg nog,christmas card, candy cane or Christmas pressie especially if you want me to buy you one back.

10) Oh yeah number 10, I really, really hate people who make top ten lists:)

Ahh, now that feels good

Happy Christmas to you and yours:)

I am really big fan of the Metropolitan Market coffee shop. Really fun baristas, good drinks and suprisingly cheap prices (especially based on the location!). As a former barista, I must say though that the Starbucks on Alki APPEARS to be very poorly run. I love Sbux, but I try to stay away from that one.

Any recommendations for a talented WS tailor?

I have a few suits that need to be altered. In a perfect world, I would also love to have a few custom garments made.

Thanks!

I love C&P Coffee Company on California. I’m not that picky about coffee so I can’t offer a critique on that, but I love the funky-cozy atmosphere and the live music.

I would also love to find such a person. In my experience the large plumbing outfits are just an incredible ripoff. Very poor service at incredibly high prices.

rcrawley, the asian restaurant you’re thinking of next to Lee’s is Kamei – it’s a japanese place, and they serve a full japanese menu, not primarily sushi. I just got back from there – we go at least once a week. We love the people there and the food is inexpensive (for japanese food) and very good, despite it looking kinda dumpy. It’s probably the place I eat most at in the Junction.

Yep, that’s the one. There are two Asian restaurants north of Quidnunc; Lee’s is the most northern on that block. The other (the name escapes me) is mostly a sushi place. I do agree that Lee’s isn’t full Chinese, although they have a few of the traditional Chinese options like Mongolian Beef (which is so, so good) and Sesame Chicken (also great).

I can recommend House of Hong for Dim Sum, as well as Honey Court, both in the ID (although the latter is mostly fried Dim Sum). Then there’s P.F. Chang’s in Pacific Place, which is pretty good for a chain.

I can advise you to steer clear of Louie’s in Ballard. Granted, we’ve only been there once 9 years ago, and it was right after we’d moved here, so maybe it was just bad timing. But the egg roles were breaded and fried like fish from a fish ‘n chips place, and they served them with ketchup. Not my idea of Chinese. I remember those horrific egg roles like it was yesterday. :)

I think A LOT of Owen Wright at Wright Innovations and Design (licensed, bonded, etc.). He is a contractor you can count on showing up when he says he will. He and his crew do a great job and take pride in what they do. He has done work for several of my clients as well as: Bath remodel, Kitchen remodel, and structural repair to my home. He works mainly by referral so drop me a line if you are interested in interviewing him.

Lee’s isn’t really “chinese food” though – it’s good, but it’s more of a fushion place, IMHO. I’d love to find a good chinese restaurant too, and willing to travel outside WS for it.
