The Glade 4.0

Just missed the morning ferry from Port Angeles to Victoria once. Rather than sit around the ferry port we walked around Port Angeles for a couple hours. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, browsed in a bookstore, bought something to eat on the lunchtime ferry over, and it was a pretty good few hours.

I could see living there, will have to check out house prices and other factors next time I'm up there.

It's a great place to be from. Not a place to go to.

Economy is terrible, local leaders have made awful choices about the direction the city should go. Instead of courting new industry or taking advantage of it's port facilities, it was decided to court tourism, except almost all of the old buildings that gave the city character have been torn down, burned down, allowed to decay beyond use or replaced with generic retail stores. Long time industrial mainstays like Weyerhaeuser have pulled up shop completely. Used to have a very cool Scandinavian heritage vibe, now has more of a migrant worker and crazy can't-stop-talking-to-my-shoe wacko aura to it. Even the tall ship the community built (and has been featured in Star Trek and Pirates of the Carribean movies) no longer is ported there.

At one time it was one of the most infamous ports in the world, in my time it had a fantastic local music scene and the timber industry wasn't yet on life support, now it's just a place to gas up on the way to Westport or Ocean Shores.

It is my hometown, and I have soft spot in my heart for it, but I would never advise anyone to move there. Although you can get a big house for dirt cheap, and you will never run out of rain. Oh yeah, and it has a Walmart.

Live: San Antonio

Vacation: Ireland

I'll add Vacation Ireland to the list as well.

Maybe we could get a Glade discount group package?

Midgen:

I'd love to live in that area of Port Angeles, if it weren't for the wider policies of the state.

Ok..here's the plan:

I have relatives in Ireland. I will find a large castle, lots of room, HUGE!

I will be the Healer (gonna get my PA so I can write scripts)
Micheal can be the Wise Shaman type
DiamondEye can be the warrior/law enforcement type
Darkseige can be the heavily tattoed priest who doesn't sacrifice virgins type.

Anyone else want to join? You have to be able to contribute to our little community..

Sure you don't want to be the Ranger Colphax?

No?

Probably a wise move. You would get tired of DS and Kirra letting you die to resurrect you later. I'm an elemental shaman, not a healer.
