Random Drive and Tour

[Ax01]

hey peeps,

so this is totally off-topic, but i thought i’d share it. awhile back I made a driving vid b/c I had wanted to take one last ride on my city’s Alaskan Way Viaduct. driving north on this double-decker freeway offers spectacular views of the city of Seattle – you get the city skyline coming at you in 3-D on the right and on the left, our “Squidport” waterfront, bay and majestic snowcapped Olympic Mountains in the background.

anyway the viaduct is old, falling apart and a deathtrap, similar to the portion of the 880 double-decker freeway that collapsed during the big San Francisco/Bay Area earthquake. the city was scheduled to tear down the viaduct this summer but didn’t. whatever.

anyway i thought that i would record this drive. i was just driving aimlessly with no real direction.

so if u want a random tour of my city, check out this vid. (some sights are annotated in text bubbles.)

also warning: long vid and my mix CD is a mix of pop, rock and electronic.



a timeline of some stuff in the vid...

00:30 – Cupcake Royale on my first turn
06:30 – Starbucks Tower/HQ on the right
07:40 – SafeCo Field on the right, home of Seattle Mariners
08:20 – Century Link on the right, home of Seattle Seahawks
08:38 – The start of the Alaskan Way Viaduct
09:15, 09:36, 10:33, 10:40, 15:13 – UFO sightings
15:00 – Awkward silence
18:37 – Key Arena on the right, home of the future Oklahoma City Thunders. lol
19:47 – Guy ollies like a boss
30:00 – Traffic jam, Amazon HQ on the hill

[Ax01]

ugh, my little drive continues after the traffic jam. then i thought i would cross the bridge to the suburbs where my sister lives and visit her and her hubby. lol




this is the map of my route.
