As creepy as that damn thing is, I actually sort of like it. I think it's a quirky and even scary part of Seattle that will be missed if it is torn down. It has no architectural qualities worth saving: No charm, no grace, just pure straight lines, bricks, timber, and decay.

But like those odd and decaying concrete half-walls out at the water's edge at the south end of Gasworks Park it has a coolly mysterious air. What strange things took place in its past? Who dwelt in that upstairs office? What did they do? What are all the disconnected electrical conduits for?

Save the parking lots! Cities are for cars! Just say no to apartments, condos, townhouses, ground-floor retail, and houses! Especially houses!

Noone past the age of 25 should be using a bong to smoke out of, Dominic.

Marijuana is not a drug. Now can I suck your balls?

I actually love the parking garage as a backdrop to the sculpture park. It gives it something solid and simple to stand out against. When butted up against something busy like a fancy apartment building, will the beauty of the sculpture and of the landscape stand out as much as it did against a beautifully simplistic and decaying building?
fat chance.

Disagree, Carly (#10). Look at Millennium Park in Chicago, butted up against fantastic fancy apartment buildings. Yes, if you're showing old movies on the side of a building, you want a nondescript parking garage. Otherwise, just say no...to urban decay.

If a dilapidated wall makes the ideal backdrop for Wake, then SAM should build one.

Dude, I don't know how you could be too high to play Mario Kart. That's like being too drunk to fish.

despite everyone's repeated invitation to suck their balls, i don't think many balls actually get sucked.

in any given day, i'd wager that 99% of balls sucked are located in the san fernando valley.
