Seattle is quite a beautiful city, no doubt about that. The Belltown neighborhood doesn’t swing that way. Much of it is downright hideously ugly. If not for all that ugliness, there’d be nothing to see. I’ve lived here for 20 years and I’ve only just started taking notice. Please join me on this odyssey of unsightliness as we try to figure out why poor Belltown looks so bad.

After Hours
Enjoy 53 minutes of semi-surreal, Soviet-era TV commercials. Most are in Estonian, with just a few in Russian. My favorite is the shoe commercial about 4 minutes in. They do a spirited version of "Honky Tonk Women" in Estonian with lyrics no doubt about footwear. Thanks to Boing Boing for posting this. It's a pretty wonderful collection. You start seeing the same people over and over. Oh, and if you're averse to nudity, you best steer clear of the happenings around 8 minutes in. So yeah, they're weird AND racy.
