West Seattle's premier sandy beach. A place for volleyball, long walks on the beach, bicycling, hanging out, cruising, Sunday driving, or getting ice cream or coffee.

People from all over come Seattle to peaceful Alki Beach in the picturesque town of West Seattle to pollute her beautiful shores with crime, loud music, trash, and bad attitudes.

During the winter months, and non weekends the beach is a wonderful family venue with prime real estate. Many multi-million dollar condos and homes grace Harbor Avenue and Alki Avenue, as well as Beach Drive.

The young family took a lovely stroll on Alki Beach one Sunday afternoon.

God Shot

A chance happening with profound meaning, an unexpected blessing, a "sign".

Dr. Drew on Celebrity Rehab said "All of a sudden what had been just another Hollywood proposal became for him an unexpected blessing, an opportunity for growth. In drug recovery language, that's called a "God shot."

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?
