I've returned from Seattle with some interesting perspective, new friends and a whole lotta inspiration. But I've also returned with insight on three differences between that city and mine; tips Chicago should take to heart!
Seattle is...
Seattle is...
- sight impaired friendly. Many of the major intersections have beeping devices [that sound like cute little birds] to direct sight impaired individuals toward the safe-route across the street!
- very concerned about it's cleanliness. Each morning city workers are out and about in public parks scrubbing the concrete with power washers!
- local owned business friendly. 'Nuff said!
Now don't get me wrong, I still prefer Chicago to call home... though I do love to witness beautiful acts by a city that enhances it's community's daily life! Kudos, Seattle!

the first thing i said when i got to seattle was "this city is so clean" and the first thing i said while driving home from the airport was "chicago is so dirty." but the first thing i say when i'm in new york city is "chicago is so clean compared to nyc." so i guess cities progressively get dirtier as one moves west to east!
Great observation!
