Hey crotchety neighbors: all of you have this coming.

Thank you for this. I live a few blocks away and have been driving by this for months wondering what the fuck is going on. It's slowly morphed into looking more vaginal by the day.

No, it totally looks better at night. By day it's just stumps and plastic. By night, it's much more vaginal.

This visual tantrum does this guy no favors and I pity his neighbors. Men like this are why we can't have nice things.

Probably the same assholes who oppose the bike lane on 35th. Good for this guy!

This is great on so many levels.

@4: The world you inhabit seems drab. Heartfelt creativity and weirdness should never be shamed or snubbed. It is little things like this that make humanity great. Little spurts of imagination, creativity, and color in an otherwise gray world.

I hope someone sets up a swing facing into it.

Redeveloping an ugly fire hazard 2-story building from 1916 in the heart of downtown? Oh the humanity! Won't somebody think of the children! Let's seize this from the property owner and Seattle can run and fund it's own dilapidated venue...
Screw the showbox, it was a great venue, one of my favorite's especially if you were in the middle front of the crowd with the big air vent blowing on you. But the times they are a-changin, and if you support local music than you should offer tax incentives for new venues and recording studios instead of rallying the pitchforks to use the government to seize private property.

@8 ROFL

One of those things I've seen but never had the time to just stop and get out of the car. Thanks, mystery-buster!

Deepest apologies, I will always remember the official name "UW Gamer's Rights Union" which sounds so much more dignified and also up-to-the-minute than the G-word.

"It's time for us Gamers to band together and hit the "X Button" (gaming reference) on our blatantly anti-Gamer Society and "Power Up" our representation."

Yup.

(Sorry wrong tab, I obviously need to train my hamd-eye coordination with some gaming.)

@4- STFU, you miserable ninny.

Wait, we're still allowed to refer to vaginas as specifically female anatomical features?

I'd given up the use of the phrase "lady parts" in an effort to accommodate all the various combinations of parts, preferences, and pronouns running around out there these days, but I'm going right back to it if it's not making anyone unhappy anymore.

@9,

Has it been a fire hazard for it's entire 103 years of existence?

Who the hell cuts trees down that high? I personally wouldn't care so much to snub a neighbour over it but that is an odd choice.
I would love to be around when the neighbour is having potential buyer viewings. I want to hear the real estate agent spin.

It doesn't look like a vagina. It's a vulva.

Beautiful!

Why no mention of one of Seattle's best most successful recent bands, Thunderpussy? Which is on the damn marquee.

@18 FTW.

And @15, you may absolutely refer to this as a "front hole" instead, inasmuch as it's a hole in front of a house.

You know, the owner of Big Time is trying to have some event next week about the changing climate for business owners on the Ave and elsewhere. I'm not sure what to think of it because he sounded like an idiot, not that everyone can understand what's happening to their business, but in light of Naked City's closure, perhaps some articles on other struggling namesakes of Seattle would be nice.

Not everything has to do with shitty music and weed.

I noticed the memorialization of the NYE bill, but why no mention of Black Tones too?

The unpleasant reaction to my post shows that this vulgar jerk has lots of company in Seattle. How unsurprising. Those of us who have to look at this kind of crap in our neighborhood are so glad you live elsewhere. Hopefully this guy slips in the ice and cracks his skull on his "art".

@24- please see @14.
