Summer's almost here, gas is about $4.50 a gallon, so what are people supposed to do for low-cost fun this summer? Seattle Weekly has just come out with its Summer Guide and one of its recommended activities for cheap thrills is going down to the industrial section of town and doing some train watching! The Weekly usually aims its content at a wealthier demographic--the kind of people that don't even know that Seattle has an industrial area and believe that "foaming" is only done in coffee shops--so we'll see if this article leads to an increase in the number of coffee-cup holding, bike riding neo-foamers lining the railroad rights-of-way this summer.
