Again, my comments and comparison were a direct response to this comment from a Cincinatti poster:
"But it doesn't offer quite what Findlay Market does. If I want T-shirts, Space Needle postcards and flowers for my hotel room, I'll go to PPM. For real actual fresh food of all varieties, I'm going to FM."
Not sure why this is so hard to understand - I'm not searching for anything to bury Cincinatti. I'm responding to the comments that Findlay offers more varieties of fresh food than PPM.
It does. I've been to both markets within the last calendar year. I'm doubting that you have ever been to Findlay Market. It's kind of hard to make valid comparisons when you have no idea what, exactly, you're trying to compare. But you still do it.
I know it's impossible for you smug Seattle homers to accept that other cities may actually do some things better than Seattle.
I have to agree with orzo. And for some to continue using words like 'smug ' and 'booster' to desribe the Seattle fans is ridiculous. The question from the beginning was which city would you rather live in. If some love Seattle's Pike Place Market or downtown, then so what.
HAHAHA--luvin' your "reply"! However, this particular Cincinnati Black Knight also relished your response for two reasons you certainly did NOT intend. (Choose either "A" or "B" or both; no matter--you lose. )
(A) SEATTLE-vs: (a1) major earthquake; (a2) major tsunami; (a3) eruption, Mt. Rainier.
(B) SEATTLE-vs: (b1) Tier I coastal city NYC; (b2) Tier I coastal city London; (b3) Tier I coastal city Hong Kong.
(My personal recommendation is that you go pop yourself another "Lumberjack" craft-brewski at your "Tourists 'R Us" fish/trinket market, and talk to authentic people whenever you get the chance.)
P.S. And, for the sake of argument, London really is a "coastal city" (the Thames being nothing less than an estuary to the English Channel). But, then again, does it really matter when one compares London to...Seattle?
Though maybe not yet at the level of San Francisco's "inhale your own farts"-levels of smugness or Vancouver, BC's "Our excrement is made of pure solid gold"-level of smugness...

^ LOL. Lumberjack Central w/ seacoast & Bill Gates...now just how good does it get?! (Scratch Boeing; they moved to Chicago.)
P.S. Obviously, Chicago's just another Midwestern city w/o a seacoast--but, then again, they do have a lake and they do possess either "Tier I or Tier II" status. In other words, Seattle's real competition, right?
