Slog - Comments on Ewwwww... and Yay! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/11/ewwwww_and_yay Workers just cleared that very, very clogged drain at Pike and Broadway. Now you don't have to jump over a small lake to cross the street or get to the QFC. Oh happy day. "Why are you takin' a picture of that," one of the men asked me, as he reached for a handful of the sludge he just pulled from the backed-up drain. "I'm excited the drain is clear! I'm going to put it on the internet! People will be stoked!" "Hahaha... whatever."...

It gave me great satisfaction to watch the water finally drain. The end.

That sludge eventually finds its way into the Bay and the aquatic food chain. Alas poor Orcas we knew them well...

That's pretty weird, Megan. It must be some Web 2.0 generational thing.

Adopt a drain! There are far more than the city can clear given the leaves and start of the rain.
