just two weeks earlier i had turned 15. (of course, 15 is not nearly as big of a deal when the legal driving age is 16.) and the whole family was driving into seattle.
correction: sitting on the freeway, wanting to be in the city.
but. my family isn't known for being early. and this was, unfortunately, not a day to be late.
THIS was the day that the kingdome came down.
the KINGDOME.
home of the '95 Slide...easily the most memorable moment in seattle mariner's history.
everyone rocked out there: paul mccartney, madonna, led zeppelin, new kids on the block, u2!
and on it's last day standing it set a world record: largest building ever imploded.
and we missed it. (thank goodness for replay on the news!)
so when i sat next to KEVIN on the bus, his kingdome tattoo had me feelin' a bit nostalgic.
here's a man who is proud of his city.
a city that's easy to be proud of.
