You don't seem to have ever wandered down Guadalupe. I've got to take issue with the movie issue, too. Not only is Austin a favored spot for Linklater, but it also counts Richard Rodriguez, Quentin Tarantino, and Mike Judge as devotees, just to name a few. Advantage: Austin. I will say that Seattle's beautiful surrounding area is so incredible, it effectively negates these factors, but still... By your measuring sticks, Austin is due more credit.

I will say that The Ave once had quite a bit of "Ave Rats". I haven't seen much of them during the last two summers, though, which I'm not certain whether that is due more to police harassment or the suburbanites getting bored. Nice comparisons.
