I find Ballard crowded and young. It’s like wandering the halls of an 80’s high school but with less discipline. The only thing preventing more debauchery is the relaxed fit pants every guy in a hat is wearing. 

The only two places where I’ve seen a distinct line outside are upscale dessert bars. Is this what legalizing it reduces our Friday nights to? Honestly, are chocolate factories and gelato bars the future of the frat guy? The munchies economy. Maybe binge watching bar nights? Whole seasons of Buffy and there’s a happy hour every time someone loses their memory?
