Dear Santa,
We’ve been a very good neighborhood this year.
For the most part, there wasn’t a lot of crime and we mostly tried to keep things clean. Sure, there were a few incidents of vandalism/street art here and there. But we knew that you were watching to see if we were being naughty or nice. So we were mostly nice.
Here is what this very good neighborhood would like for Christmas:
- Several crosswalks
- A re-supply of orange flags while you work on that crosswalk thing
- A traffic circle and speed bumps every 10 feet on Aloha
- A kid-proof railing at the Hop Vine
- Rebuild of the old Chocolate City place
- Generous, high-paying sponsors for our amazing neighborhood blog
- A neighborhood crime blog
A balloon storeoops! already got that!- More organic produce at QFC
- A hobby/pet/ice cream/clothes store on 15th Ave E
- A place to buy a gallon of (non-steamed) milk on 19th
- A pony
- A monkey
- World peace
Thanks and Happy Hanukkah,
Capitol Hill Seattle
Don’t forget a decent hardware store!
No kidding about the speed bumps. Or they could rename it “Aloha Speedway” intead of just “Street.” Gets the spirit of the experience across better.
Thanks for including my hobby shop in your list.
I want all QFC delivery trucks to stop making that loud beeping sound when they back up so that I can sleep in past 6:00am.
