I love Seattle
This evening I had the best pizza of my life. And it was right here in Seattle at Via Tribunali. Now this isn’t the first time I’ve eaten here. I’ve been here dozens of times and in fact I went last night too! This little pizzeria has the most authentic pizza you’ll find outside Naples and its better than most pizza joints in Naples. The joint is located in a fairly non-descript building in Capital Hill which is a neighborhood already well known for its color and cultural diversity.
As we sat at the bar drinking a great bottle of Montepulciano reflecting on what a great city this is. I’ve lived in 38 different cities so far and I admit to having a special love for places like London, Stockholm and New York. But Seattle is special. I doesn’t have nearly the cosmopolitan activity that you’ll find in LA, NYC or Paris but nobody expects that anyway. It does have a unique culture and some incredible landscapes. Sitting directly behind us was Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains and at first we didn’t think much of it. Then I started to realize that in fact Seattle and some of these characters are very much an important part of our modern culture. Some would argue that Alice in Chains was one of the most important bands in the last 20 years. No doubt, Jerry Cantrell will be memorialized in photos years from now and the next generation will look on those photos the way I look on Jim Morrison images today.
Maybe I’m just rambling. But this is just a really great town. I’m sure I’ll move again someday. But this place is nearly as cool as it gets in so many ways.
