In Seattle it’s chic to be disrespectful of authority, convention, whatever represents behavior that most of us consider to be normal. Last time I was there, I took my 81 year old mother out in a wheel chair, for lunch. It is a real treat for her to get out of her apartment. The three block trek to the burger joint + back was a nightmare. Twenty-something punks (not young kids) were riding up and down the sidewalks on bicycles, taking great joy in cutting us off, or playing “chicken”, only to peel off, at the last possible second. I seriously considered going back out the next day, with a crowbar under my jacket.
At any rate, society up there (in general, some folks are decent) consider anti social behavior something to be celebrated. Un rucking feal!
Let me guess. Capitol Hill?
