I will note that what you experienced is nothing like a typical Hooters restaurant. They clearly hammed it up for the opening.
My father's taken me to one here and there to eat chicken wings and watch football, and I think friends dragged me to one some other time. It's a lot more low key and the waitresses are a lot less flirty. In other words, it's a regular restaurant, except the waitstaff's all somewhat attractive women and they're dressed like morons.

Claudia Rowe... experienced news writer and new Stranger editor. One expects credible work, and....
... after a handful of basic verifiable facts, the key points of evidence in her piece are... an internet message board, a couple of random quotes, and info per a phone call from a Mayoral spokesman who may or may not have changed his story between speaking to her and another news source. And it's unclear what the idea of this piece is, other than to kick the corpse of Nickels' career.
Welcome to the Stranger, Claudia. From the looks of the differences in your piece from your previous work, it looks like you're already doing a fine job of fitting in with the paper's shifting editorial direction.

114. Not that I'm really taking a side in the 'Pitbulls are inherently deadly Y/N?' debate, U238, but citing a Wiki isn't exactly a strong reference, since the flow of information through those entries is often controlled by someone with a strong interest, and bias, in the subject... thus the information in such entries are slanted to fit the world-view of whoever's in charge of overseeing it, and most people willing to guard an internet Wiki, all the way to Wikipedia, aren't any more or less objective than the average blowhard.

Well, if throwing games isn't trivial, then Bill Bavasi, John McLaren and Jim Riggleman should be thrown out of baseball for the direction and creation of the 2008 Mariners, because if that campaign wasn't throwing a season I don't know what is ;P
Meanwhile, Ichiro's 200 hit season this year was more amazing than most others because this was the first year that injuries derailed any significant portion of his season. Until this year he played nearly every game, so after his injury hiatuses, he had fewer games to get to the same 200 hit total he amassed his previous seasons... yet he did.

Well, this person clearly burned a few billion brain cells at Burning Man because that wasn't very smart.

To be fair, I'm obviously not a McGinn fan but I like his idea to slash the strategic staffers. Does he really need to pay a bunch of people to tell him how to handle matters when he's already got a battle plan? Clearly not.
Seattle does seem like a place where there's a lot of well-paid chiefs and not enough indians, and the City's no exception.

I will add I do know people here, friends and acquaintances, who have more balanced relationships with their animals. But a lot of people in this city take it right over the top.

Mike McGinn has turned nothing upside down. He is a front man and subsidiary for Vulcan's agenda. They like him and funded his Great City because they know he'll tell the activists what they want to hear while maintaining the developer-friendly status quo.
He won by several thousand votes because he ran against a loser with no substance. He rounded up a bunch of unemployed subsidized college kids and gave them unpaid jobs to run his campaign that they could slap on their resume. He kept the best ones as underlings, because they'll work harder for less than incumbent City Hall staffers and they obviously take orders well.
Go back to L.A., Grant. You were a political cancer to this city and we're glad we're in remission.
