I used to live right up the block. The Red Door was always a good place to hang out. This was a long time ago.
You were a long way from the logging camp.
Seriously. Shifting gears from Camp Govey and Camp Grisdale to Kane Hall was a bit of a culture shock.
There was a biker bar on Fremont just up the hill from the Red Door. The Buckaroo. You'd see the coolest bikes out in front - old Triumphs and Indians - but I never went in because smoking weed and talking shit in a biker bar can get your ass beat.
I've been away from Seattle for a long time. I think sometimes I miss it - but I'm pretty sure if I went back, all the shit I remembered wouldn't be the same anyway. Just like Grisdale and Govey.
The Buckaroo closed in 2010. I went there a few times back in the early 2000s in my still trying to pretend like I'm in college phase.
Nickerson Street Saloon is going to shut down too.
Progress sucks.
Neuheisel used to have his coach's radio show there
