more destructo
georgetown is a small vulnerable neighborhood in seattle. what makes it unique and interesting can stand little alteration. so what do the developers do? they demolish one of buildings is a dominant landmark. i am sure the buildings deserved landmark status, but since city hall and local developers are symbiotic in their greed, it could only be stopped by strong public outcry. having said that, since a large majority of seattlaloadians are imports why would they feel any connection to the past, or any passion to preserve it from the wreaking ball? maybe connection to hills, water and air are more lasting.
rainier beer cold storage buildings, seattle, washington
for the few of us that grew up in Seattle and remember the dark ages, we are all shocked and awed at what has been done to our once sleepy, dark, dank town. the city is being transformed in ways we could never have imagined. did the rain stop? are there more sun days? why are so-many people moving to a place that increases their rick of major depressive episodes, heroin addiction or worse suicide? i had to move to so. cal. to survive, but once recovered, i moved back.
alas, i no longer live there, and now reside in a town that is going through it's own growing pains, it just does not effect me the same way. in fact i favor the "improvements"; the life-long locals have no clue what's it like to witness a major transformation.
save georgetown, seattle
