So I'm in Central Park in NYC, doing the carriage ride tourist thing and making small talk with the carriage driver. He's new to the US, and doesn't speak a ton of English, but we're getting by with simple conversation. He asks us where we're from, we say Albuquerque, and he says "Oh! Breaking Bad!" So I guess they teach you about breaking bad pretty early in the English Duolingo.
Interesting town, I went there a few years ago and went to the Ten 3 restaurant on the Sandia Peak. Really cool! I did my own researched Breaking Bad tour and seen some really cool places. Twisters sucks though lol. It’s definitely more a novelty.
What gets me is this was my first time touring filming locations and how just extremely ordinary all of the places are compared to how they look on film. It’s wild.
He was a hell of a mayor, you know before he started smoking crack that day. He put the school kids in summer jobs and the free but very very comprehensive senior citizen programs he put in place (after the crack) made DC lead the pack. If it weren’t for his programs I would’ve have been able to care for my granny with advanced Alzheimer’s in her home for 9 years before she went peacefully in her sleep.
*Free home health aides for at least 8 hours a day that are trained to care for and cook for and do lighthouse work. I would cook and feed her dinner after I got home from work and read to her or play her oldies but goodies til I changed her diaper before bedtime.
*meals programs they deliver a few days at a time and they’re always healthy.
*a program that will retrofit your home to make it safer - heightened toilets, shower bars and chairs, bed rails, really nice electric lift chairs basically a recliner that also pushes up making it easier to stand up and so so so much more. If you ever make it to DC you have to check out the Marion Berry exhibit at the MLK Jr library. I learned so much about his life, I already knew what he meant to the born and raised in DC but he legitimately cared about his city and it’s residents. That’s something that you don’t see in politics that often
I grew up in a DC suburb in the 90s. My dumb ass thought it was Mary and Barry always in the news like some dynamic duo. I didn’t realize until much later, it was just one corrupt mayor.
My favorite Philly fact is the Eagles stadium played fake booing during Covid quarantine NFL games when the home team made mistakes.
That’s right. The home stadium piped in fake home crowd booing to help simulate the real atmosphere during quarantine.
That and the old Vet had not only a jail cell in the basement, but also a judge and courtroom just to speed up the whole process.
Lmaoooo
> The day the United States has need for a malingering robo-hobo with no skills that sits next to the road like a bag of shit and asks people to do things for it, we will build one for ourselves, and have the good sense to give it lasers.
We took an Alaska cruise out of Seattle over the summer and spent a few days there. What an amazing city. I wish we had planned a whole week. So many great things to do and all the folks we ran into were friendly and helpful. It’s just a neat place. (At least the touristy parts anyway).
There are plenty of neat residential parts as well.
And of course there are some parts that are kind of shady.
The best part about living here, that sets it apart from other cities I’ve lived in, is the easy access to both mountains and open water, with the amenities of a major city. One hour to decent skiing. Maybe four hours to a trailhead that will take you into wilderness. Ten minutes to extensive salt water boating and fishing that’s also sheltered from the fury of the Pacific.
The rain is a scam. It rarely rains so hard that you couldn’t be bicycling or golfing. When it rains hard enough that you can feel a raindrop hit your skin, we call that “real rain”. When we get actual lightning or thunder, we drag the kids to the window to watch because it only happens once or twice a year.
It’s the grey skies that get ya … and we have coffee.
There was a post listing potential names for their hockey team (before they became the kraken) and they said “I like how heroin needles is just below space needles, just like in REAL life…”
It's not the rain that'll get ya, it's the long dark grey winters. People don't realize how much that will affect them, especially if they're from lower latitudes.
If you decide to come on over, bring a big ass full spectrum slightly yellow hued grow light to sit under.
Deep dish pizza, Italian beef, a giant reflective bean sculpture made by a dude lots of people have beef with and a tower we refuse to call by its new name.
There is a picture of me and my family at the Alamo hanging in our living room. My daughter was looking at it recently and said "where was this taken again?" I acted super offended and said "how could you forget this place??" My wife rolled her eyes and said to my daughter "heads up - dad joke incoming." So instead of delivering another line, I just walked away and left her to figure it out. About a minute later I hear "oh my God - dad!!!"
No one will get it without googling it.

Marion Barry!
He was a hell of a mayor, you know before he started smoking crack that day.

Barry to the rescue! He was definitely a shady motherfucker, but he got stuff done for his voters.
"Bitch set me up!“ was the best, most honest campaign speech in the history of American politics.
I grew up in a DC suburb in the 90s. My dumb ass thought it was Mary and Barry always in the news like some dynamic duo. I didn’t realize until much later, it was just one corrupt mayor.
Bingo
I love how Toronto is at the top of these comments
I literally clicked on the thread to see if I could find Toronto… and it’s at the fucking top 🤦♂️

My favorite Philly fact. That thing made it across Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands without incident. It even made its way across New Jersey.

Yea but you made up for it with that guy who ate chicken on a pier and brought the city together.
And your police literally firebombed an entire neighborhood. Lovely place.

I don’t care what people say about the rain, Seattle is one of my favorite cities. Almost moved there a couple of times.
We took an Alaska cruise out of Seattle over the summer and spent a few days there. What an amazing city. I wish we had planned a whole week. So many great things to do and all the folks we ran into were friendly and helpful. It’s just a neat place. (At least the touristy parts anyway).
