It’s the Space Needle, LOL!

Two posts about Seattle in one day?! Goodness! When will the fun end?!

Well, my dear mother requested that I take pictures of this town and so that’s what we did today.

First, we hit the Space Needle (the real one), which is a fun little structure built for the World’s Fair in 1962. We were just going to walk around it, but since it was a ridiculously sunny and beautiful day, we decided to fork over the dough and head to the top.

I’m glad we did. There are tons of pictures of this. Literally.

After the tower, we walked around a bit and then headed to the Sculpture Park. And then headed north to Carkeek Park, which is a great gem only three miles from us.

Again, tons of pics.

And you can see them here!

Also, if you’re interested in the World’s Fair in Seattle, check out this MST3K short, won’t you?

“Here you tell mom I’m pregnant.”

The one thing I do really miss about living in Belltown is the sculpture park… it was a great walk I used to take with Viri.

I love the pics. I’m inspired. This is a damn lovely town we have.

When I was near the Needle today, I remembered that MST3K did *something* in seattle. I figured it was in a short. And it’s neat to see the place way back when.

It was a lovely town back then and it’s a lovely town now. Must see more of it.

That’s so true. But “LOL” after any band name makes it better. Even the holy grail of band names…. Conspiracy of Cartographers LOL
