Absolutely without question, Seattle, East Duwamish Waterway, south of Terminal 30, a tiny cafe on pilings over the water called "The Sea Hag". It had one of those old stamped tin ceilings, originally pale green, stained brown with a hundred years of tobacco smoke, board floors. The men's bathroom was about 4'x6', filthy cracked sink, ancient funnel shaped toilet that was 'straight through' right into Elliot Bay. Longshoremen's hangout, I went there first time on a dare, ordered a helluva fine big breakfast, no GI schidts, and returned many times for good workingmans plain food and lots of it. Sad to see it go away in the early 70's.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
