Slog - Comments on Salty’s—Nazi-Quoting Van Owners, Big Hanger-Uppers! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/saltysnaziloving_van_owners_big_hangerup Warning! Below you will find the word “eateries”. Forgive me. A long time ago I co-wrote a feature piece with Dan (yes, Savage) and Mary Martone (where have all the Mary Martones gone? I ask you.). It was a field piece, a big gay adventure! The three of us separately scoured Seattle, tops-to-bottoms (har-har), searching for Seattle’s best potential next “gay ghetto”. (That’s what Capitol Hill used to be, wee children.)
