Comments on: Intersection of 6th and Pike Immune to Recession http://nakedloon.com/news/business/2008/06/25/intersection-of-6th-and-pike-immune-to-recession/ Puget Sound's Most Spectacular Newspaper Tue, 17 Apr 2012 13:00:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Alex http://nakedloon.com/news/business/2008/06/25/intersection-of-6th-and-pike-immune-to-recession/comment-page-1/#comment-523 Alex Sat, 28 Jun 2008 14:42:19 +0000 http://nakedloon.com/?p=528#comment-523 Right at this intersection, I one day saw a sidewalk musician playing improvised drums, while asking for donations. Heck, I even gave him a dollar, it was good music. Only after reading this aticle, however, did I realize that the artist was probably running away from a lack of professional opportunity in other parts of the nation, such as nigh clubs in Kirkland, which certainly already fell victim to recession and are replacing local bands with ambient stereos. Eye opening article indeed! Right at this intersection, I one day saw a sidewalk musician playing improvised drums, while asking for donations. Heck, I even gave him a dollar, it was good music.

This goes on day and night giving one the very positive impression that trade and commerce at this street corner are doing well. As our mayor puts it so well, Seattle is known all over the nation as a “work free, drug place” and this can be no exception for those proud liberal residents of the our Emerald City. I find it hard to believe that the local police department struggles with this capitalistic concept by trying to find ways around something called “probable cause” in order to try and racially harass these young men. I also point out that the holes in the nearby buildings were undoubtedly caused by frustrated members of ‘youth clubs’ that roam the area looking for ways to support the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution by having local ‘targets’ to use for ‘target practice’. Bullets missing but fired in this area have made their way to Harborview.

I think your reporting shows the facts, in this case are irrefutable. One must also keep in mind that the South Lake Union Streetcar or SLUT is just a block away. This will certainly help recession-proof 6th and Pike and may have a halo effect on nearby intersections. Only time will tell. This is fine journalism, Mr. Maximus.
