These are the 5 men who have accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of child sexual abuse

Re: These are the 5 men who have accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of child sexual abus

I told one of my kids two weeks ago as I was walking with her in Capital Hill "This smells and looks like Chicago Circa 1974". My Microsoft daughter spends $3K a month for an almost new very nice loft apartment in a very top section of CH, she does not feel safe at night alone two blocks off.
Sorry to open up a second thread with you Hawkeye, but have you spent any time in Chicago recently? Especially the past several years?

I've never seen Chicago looking better as a whole. The hardcore slums are still slums, and God only knows what the solution is there. But the rest of the city is amazingly vibrant, with many economically stifled areas having gentrified. Cook County is one of the top 20 job growth counties in the country. It really has been a remarkable rebirth coming out of the manufacturing economy, and especially in coming out of the Bush recession.

What started in Wicker Park and Logan Square decades ago, has continued to Humboldt Park, much of the Westside, Pilson, Bronzeville, Kenwood, SouthShore, you name it!

Despite the crap going down in some of the hardcore areas of the Southside and a pocket or two on the Westside, don't listen to the B.S. coming from Trump, the GOP, and Fox!

The restaurants are hard to study because there have been many ways of attempting to round the circle, but it looks like the trend is towards adding 20% to the menu price at checkout. Rubs me the wrong way when they do that and then still give us a tip line on credit card slip, like they are hoping we will tip again, Blueacre did that to me weekend before last.
Actually, I have heard of that 20% thing, and that would definitely have me irked!

Around here the 20% has traditionally kicked-in at some specific size of party, often 6 or 8. I have yet to see 20% across the board, nor do I want to.
 
Re: These are the 5 men who have accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of child sexual abus

It never gets cold in Seattle, Washington?

New York City has the highest homeless population. It damn sure gets cold, there.

What do they have in common? They both Liberal run ****holes.

No, neither one is even remotely a ****-hole.

You'd hate them, though. Sophisticated, international, great culture and food, tremendous art and music, stuff like that.

So you have menu prices up maybe 5% (Bar more like 10%), tack another 20% at checkout, the place is understaffed so hospitality is suffering but we cant encourage better by not tipping....they get paid big money no matter what (A waitress of Gordon Beirsch same day at end of shift was telling bartender that they were splitting $370 for the shift) and seriously with as few people as are working they can only do so much. I think the thing that bugs me most is something like the last 5 outings there has been zero table touch after food delivery...they drop the food and if you have a problem with it you need to get aggressive to fix it....really pissed me off at Quinns were the food was not salted at all (another new thing that pisses me off) and there was no salt on the table (another new thing that pisses me off) and no human anywhere around for like 5 minutes....

Its all just too much....the value proposition is just getting creamed...this cant work, people are too cheap and too used to beING pampered, Lefties just like everyone else.

And you get to dodge all the drugs and trash and derelicts and increasingly piss on the street.

It simply does not work.

What makes them any better than anywhere else? Personally, I think food in the South is way better than anything served in New York City. I've never been to Seattle. I'm sure the food in Seattle is bland as ****, too.

Practically every major city in the country is ran by liberals.

Seattle does not get that cold. Even in the dead of winter, its average low is well above freezing. NY gets cold, but not nearly as cold as cities in the Midwest and the Mountain West. Moreover, it has over 20 million people in the metro so its a given that its going to have a lot of homeless.

I just told you what does. And you'll understand if people who've been to all three places laugh at your ignorance and point.

"I want us to stay in Seattle" was what he said, not "We will stay in Seattle".

PAY ATTENTION

Only a fool would suggest that they are leaving. Oh look.

Really? Tell us about all those great conservative cities. This should be fun.

.

Perhaps if you studied a little history your understand about the homeless population in Seattle. But we both know you're incapable.

Seattle's weather is mild. While it certainly gets cold, its extremes are moderate.

Arguably, the very term Skid Road has its roots in Seattle. The book that bears that name was written in 1951 by Murray Morgan.

You would be wrong. Again. You're on a roll.

No, no bigotry in the least. I suggest you learn what that word means before using it.

You utter ignorance of two of the true jewels of this country duly noted.
 
Re: These are the 5 men who have accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of child sexual abus

He's a ****ing scumbag. I hope he rots in jail.
Allegedly he is a ****ing scumbag.As far as we know there are no guilty verdicts, no video or photographic evidence nor is there a none coerced confession by the accused. Just because people accuse him of something doesn't make it true. If he did these things then there should have been an investigation to check the validity of the claims and a trial to determine his guilt or non guilt.

Don't get dizzy up there.
 
Re: These are the 5 men who have accused Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of child sexual abus

I can certainly see why you wouldn't like Seattle. Way too sophisticated and tolerant.

No, it used to be. Now it's a big transient bong fest.

From the guy who infers that homosexuality and pedophilia are related no less.

As if someone who chooses to live in the **** hole that is north Texas would be a dependable resource as to the quality of life in a world class city.

Still waiting to hear about all those world class conservative cities. :lamo

There aren't many cities that are run by Conservatives. Nor did I make any such claim. What lie are you going to troll next?

You claimed that all the cities run by liberals are ****.


So I challenged you to tell us all about the great cities that are run by conservatives.

And you can't. So instead you make **** up.

Your dishonestly knows no bounds.
