Belltown at Night

If you happen to be hanging out in Belltown late at night on a weekend, you will see hot dog vendors out. For the hungry, the smell of grilled onions wafting in the air is enticing. Then again, you would probably eat most anything that late at night. Heck, I remember a time when I took a trip to 7-11 for those things that pass as a microwave burrito. I don't even want to know what's in that. Or a late night craving for apple pie led me to McDonald's for what should've been apple pie, but looked more like another burrito. Or a late night craving for Taco Bell led to a few hours sitting on the toilet. Not to say that I wouldn't go back . . .

Hanging out near the parking lot are some club-goers next to another hot dog cart. Here, there is a black sports car with the door open and the car stereo blasting, that is, until a policeman approached and the volume went to zero and the car quietly drove away. The car left before I could take a picture, but trust me, it wanted to be seen, for awhile.






Here is an example of an overzealous cabbie. He must be from Las Vegas. The most insane cab ride I ever took was going from the airport to a hotel on The Strip. What was the rush, dude? I found an empty bottle of alcohol in the back seat. I'm sure it wasn't the driver's.








Here is an arrest in progress. Their friend is in the back seat of a police car and they are wondering what is going to happen to their friend. That's what you get when you're caught drinking and driving. However, if you're stuck here late
at night, make sure you have enough money for a cab ride because there is no public transportation. Don't waste your last dollars on a
juicy, tasty hot dog or otherwise.
