Not MSNBC or Current, but not Fox!
This is the first place I've been in years that had a TV playing, and after all the Fox complaints I've seen here, this is a pleasant surprise!

all televisions????? FAUX.. I cannot believe it, and I cannot reach the dials, although someone changes the channel in the lunch room I go to for lunch and breaks..thank goodness.
But the ones in the giant hallways...with big comfy chairs sitting around are all on FOX> YUK

(29,098 posts)Surprising in the fact that Snohomish County is trending more right. I'm not far from there and I was shocked that my precinct went Romney/McKenna. It was by a hair but STILL...It was disturbing.

I'm right on the border of Bothell/Mill Creek, don't know any of the neighbors -- maybe I don't want to!

(29,098 posts)I was shocked when I saw the precinct results....At least Dawn McCrazy didn't win for the State Office. That was the one I was watching with an eagle eye. Rosemary McAuliffe got a great deal of bad press and education was a big buzz issue. I was afraid the teabag lady was gonna squeek in. She spent a great deal of her husbands oil money trying to buy the seat and did a whole lot of door belling. One on one she came across as very likeable and moderate. I made a real effort to reach out to my neighbors about her after she came a calling.

Oh, forgot - what is it with Faux News being on in every single gym? I don't believe only right wingers work out.

(29,098 posts)Go on up to Number 1 NY Pizza on Highway 9. They aren't open Sundays and Mondays and they close at 8. They have some booths but is more of a take out place. The pies are pricey but I'm a NY/NJ transplant and this is the closest you can come to an authentic east coast pie. If you need tips for great Thai, Indian or Chinese let me know....
I like living around here. I'm a little farther out than you ...over by Cathcart/Clearview but I know Canyon Park and Mill Creek well.

(11,076 posts)We told the manager bye bye. Two days after the election we went in and saw all of our friends at the counter and had a good chuckle. They were pretty good sports about it. We said goodbye after lunch and let them know we would be back when FOX was off the TV in the dining room. It is amazing how many people won't speak up.
Good news about FOX being off the TV!
