an evening out with Comfy Lady

Comfy Lady took me to Meesha, a newish Indian place in lower Fremont that, while pricy, is super tasty! Two thumbs way up! There were good cocktails, tales of Germany, and gelato afterwards. CL observes that Fremont could use more ice cream joints, and she's not wrong. Finally, an Indian place within walking distance that I can take dates to! The Tickler in particular will be pleased.

Comfy Lady, unlike me, hung out a lot in lower Fremont in the '90s. She pointed out that at least some of the twee little shops on the main drag used to be housing for the hippie freaks who made Fremont great. Am I OK with that? No, I'm not, and I have at least two friends who agree with me, CL and [personal profile] cupcake_goth. I wonder where the hippie freaks as individuals and their successors as a group are now.

I'm glad we're both doing well with dating these days, just not with each other.

The hippy freaks have been leaving Seattle. I don't know the other places everyone have been settling, but Tacoma has a thriving weirdo community.

(There are many places that vanished from the Fremont main drag long ago, and G-D I miss them.)
