Haha I bet we are neighbors. You ever go to Gyro Zone?

The bonsai place is associated with Weyerhaeuser. It's called the Pacific Bonsai Museum. There is also a Rhododendron garden that I think you need to pay admission for, but I think the bonsai garden is free.

There's a bunch of us on this board. A while ago there was some guy on this forum that lived on the same street as me when I lived in Capitol Hill. That was weird, considering this message board is based in fricking Louisiana.

I had a few beers with a few folks from the board. Small world.

I go there so often that the dudes know my order and don't even take my name when I call in.

That place might be the best restaurant I've been to in this area, other than MSM.

I'm about 500 feet from Chambers Bay. Love the water and the views during the summer.

Best doner kebab I've had in the US. I don't think they'll be at that location long but I hope they stay close. The guys that work there seem like Turkish Mafia or something.

Go to Gyro Zone for the Doner Kebab.

Stay because you got murdered by the Turkish Mafia.

Did anyone say kill a hippy? If not, you should killed a hippy. Make sure it voted for Hillary before killing it.

There is this bald one there who seems to have the crazy eyes. Super intense dude. There is also a nerdy black or mixed kid who looks like the bastard son of Eagle-Eye Cherry.

That's the guy that always takes my order. It seems like there's always three or four guys just hanging out in the kitchen which gives it the mafia feel.

Thanks for the suggestions. It seems like Seattle has more to do...

Looking at Vancouver, I see Stanley Park and Granville Island.

Space Needle is better than Columbia Center I assume?

Not really. Sky View Observatory in Columbia Center is higher up and probably has a better view.

Space Needle is currently undergoing upgrades. However, you have Seattle Center that is built around it. It's fun to people watch. The atmosphere would be better than Columbia Center but shittier views.

Given how large the portions are I have no clue how they stay profitable. As long as they stay near me I'm cool.

You had the Greek fries? You could feed a family of four with an order.

I like the Space Needle at sunset. The combination of the sun setting, creating a silhouette of the Olympic Mountains in the West, while all the lights of the city come on, is pretty nice. I went to the Columbia Center only once during the day, but seeing it at the same time would be interesting.

In Vancouver go to Stanley Park and the Museum of Anthropology. One thing I liked doing in Vancouver was driving around North Vancouver, as if I recall, the scenery there was quite beautiful.

I got the Greek Fries every time. Always have to put the leftovers in the fridge.

I'll keep my eye out for an LSU baw. I'm the bearded guy with a Rainiers hat but that's half of Tacoma.
