That was the last we saw of her. That was her legacy. That, and though I looked nothing like her, my teacher calling me by her name on occasion.

I have to say, that for all the urbist talk, it seems like you people don't actually live in the city you write about, because from the standpoint of a squirrel, it looks nothing like the dynamic abstraction you make it out to be.

At 5:30pm there is a lot of activity in the street. But that consists entirely of people in their cars cramming to get the heck out of there and back to the house in Issaquah! Once those guys leave the wide avenues become empty canyons! And the side streets...sheesh...they might as well be dark alleys. By 6:30pm there are many with zero people on them. No one. Not a single person walking between 2nd and 3rd on some of them.

Ok, so when I get to Bambino's its this little oasis. The one place where someone knows how to make a pizza with a real oven and make the crust soft but with nice crust on it, and just the right amount of burn charred on it for flavor.

But that's like this one island of light as the whole outside goes dark. No partygoers. No cosmopolitan nitecappers wandering out. Just an empty city with little islands of people clustering together. It's more like a college campus at night. Empty pathways, but then you find the one late night cafeteria where everyone is and "ahh...there's still people".

So yeah. The City.

And the concert was fantastic, but that would take like two comments to tell you about it.
