Here’s another one “coming soon” by the ferry terminal that I saw the other day:

Do we have a lot of subways? What an important question. Let’s do some unscientific science. Here’s a google map of the downtown/capitol hill/central dist./queen anne/rainier valley bits of town and an overlaid “businesses” search for “subway sandwiches:”

20 dots means there are 20 of them, right? I checked, they seem to all be subway franchises and not some other business named subway sandwiches. Here’s McDonalds:

quite a difference there. How about KFC..

Crap. What about local favorite Ivar’s?

Over the same map, burger kind showed 1, local chain Dick’s had 2, and then I got bored of looking. Conclusion: there are a lot of subways.

Wow, what a dumb blog post.

I even met her and shook her hand. For those not in the know Rose was in the Softies, and is one of my very favorite songwriters and singers. Top 5 favorite. Rose is in the middle of her first tour in a long time, and tonight she was in Olympia. It sounds like she’ll be recording a new record sometime next year — check out this site for more. She played a bunch of new songs and a few old ones. If you’re in Portland tomorrow or Anacortes Tuesday you shouldn’t miss her.

I’ve heard it a million times, but I never knew what “kitty corner” meant until I took this test.
