The original poster asked if it's worth it to move to Seattle? Well, I said, yes, it is worth it. It is my opinion. You also failed to realize the irony in my post, although I used smiley twice ! You are too serious, Jenny. My post was surely very short and did not contain any political or other analyses. I just didn't analyse. What I very often find reading forums, is the fact that people analyse so much, they feel paralysed and totally unable to make a decision. I personally would never ask other people advice. How should anybody know if I should move or not, for example? You see my point? There are enough people on this forum who overanalyse and contradict each other. That's good enough. I just said, yes, Seattle is worth a try.

I was unaware that two smiley faces indicated irony on the internet.

Now, you're too serious again, Jenny! Why don't you just relax? You know, winter in NYC is not exactly a gift, either.

Seattle may not be the best city, but it sure seems to be the best city FOR ME!

Seattle is not only FOR YOU, Mitsuturbo! Seattle is for EVERYBODY! That means, FOR ME, too!

There's more than enough Seattle to go around for those of us that love it. The rest can bítch about it until they leave or die.

(disclaimer: my use of emoticons carries no inference of sarcasm, humor, or any other subtlety. it simply is what it is.)

Okay, I will give you that. I did meet a few of his supporters this time around that were nutso. Obviously, my sample is small, but when I was in grad school, I found that the libertarians and conservatives in my class (and they were few) had the best senses of humor and were more fun to talk to. And you are right. I don't spend ANY time on political bulletin boards. City-Data is my only vice -- I am north of 40 - I didn't grow up with this stuff so it's a relatively minor part of my life.

Must be another cultural norm that is unique to Seattle.

2 more weeks, Jennibc, and you'll be a Texan again!

It is hog jowl, not mawl. I am southern, and have never eaten it, and I hate cheese grits. But, hog jowl is actually just that, the jowls ( or cheeks) of the hog. Stereotypes are useless.

Ira500. There are very good Pizza places all throughout West Seattle and Ezells chicken is a good enough reason to live in Seattle.

It only rains something like 150 days a year. When the weather is nice, and warm and sunny Seattle is the most beautiful place I have ever been.
