Don't walk around the neighborhood surrounding the needle. Unless it's changed since I was there ten years ago, it's not one to wander around in. I had a couple confrontations walking between the needle and Pikes. The food at the needle was nasty as well. Great veiw though....

I love to wander around Pikes. I've found some pretty good food there too.

The plot goes deeper:

Tom's saying it's not the size, but the way it's used that makes it so very special.

Really, doesn't every guy with a short needle try the same argument?

Some go so far as to call it a a landmark as opposed to a needle.

Mel, as has been mentioned, the Pike Place Market is a fascinating place. We stayed a few days at the Inn At The Market, with a view overlooking the Market and the Bay.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Regina Spektor at Pike Place Market

I doubt you'll run into her there, but you know I had to post it.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Hopefully this info will keep me out of trouble for the next week. Looks like I may be leaving today instead of tomorrow. Tom PM me if you still want to meet up

I just wanted to thank Mel for taking some time out of his adventure to join me for dinner last night. We had a wonderful visit, and I now know much more about Junior Hockey than I ever thought prudent, although I still lack Mel's passion. We dined on some lovely fresh seafood, and I developed a renewed case of Axiom equipment envy.

Mostly, my joy and wonder over the fine people who gather here was renewed.

Thank you, Mel!
