A place we call home. If we're born there, or come by some other means to find a place as we lay our head at night, we all have a home.
Mine is at the bottom of the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. Crown city of the state of Washington; it's rainy season right now.
Looking right down the road from my front stoop.
An old, but stylish joint right around the backside of my block.
And a block past that, a surprising feature of my local landscape that if often overlooked from being shadowed by taller apartment blocks-
Show us were you live. Show us what's around you. Places of interest. Google street views. Sat views.
Step outside and take a couple of photos. Is the grass green? Are you buried in snow? Are you living in some southern desert hell?
sure would be better than living outside a playground populated by screaming children in the day and idiot teenagers smashing bottles at night
I live on fucking Sesame Street god damn I hate this city
I live directly across the street from a ritzy private school. I like to go sit on the stoop to read and/or have smokes/coffee, weather permitting. I get so many grumpy stares from parents dropping off or picking up their kids, and when they have a fire drill they swarm the sidewalk on my side of the street. Wish the parents would realize that the school is in a residential zone.

St. Ann's is right down the street from me
god damn I want to strangle those kids
"you got an extra smoke, man"
"FUCK YOU YOU'RE LIKE TWELVE I'M NOT GIVING YOU A CIGARETTE"
and then they go on to a prestigious private college and I'm busting my tits trying to stay above water in a tier two law school
fuck this I'm moving to the gentrified part of Harlem
There was one day though where their photography teach was out with some of her students doing a project as I was riding my bike back home and they asked me to pose in front with my bike for some pics, so that was cool.

Gimmie a minute.
That house is gone now, the blue piece of crap behind the tree is mine.
Yup.
I had always suspected...
No it's a trailer.
Might as well be a shed.
Really?
More rain than usual?
edit: I don't know about over towards Ballard/Fremont but summer and most of fall here was rather dry.
We gained a solid foot of snow in maybe six hours.
Can you make us a snowangel?
not according to google it isn't
I would say this is the "shitty rain" season.
Zonugal I am so jealous over here.
Can I? Yes.
Will I? No.
I need to do a tour, Ellensburg, Portland, and San Francisco.
I've noticed the rain these days is more slanty than straight down, as all of my sitting spots now get rained on even though they be under cover
well it sounds like it was a bad choice
streetview didn't show the nighttime OR the rainy
Yeah it's the rain/wind combo that makes it shitty.
nighty-rainy pics in the op
now show us your lawn/driveway/shitty apartment parking block
my eyes are up here
The view down the road:
The neighbors place:
Down the street at a friends property (click for bigger):
YESSSS.
Is that just a pond or is there some nice fishing nearby?
watch your back
probably gonna have to kill you and take over your life so I can live there
edit: for lowland, river & stream areas, so yeah Mercer will probably get blocked again

I think the snow level just shot to like 80 bajillion feet.

Sometimes one or two of them will walk over towards me like they're gonna ask but I just glare at them and they divert.
Kids probably get half my VA payment amount in allowance. Swindle their own smokes.
