"Among these are".  What is the definition of a cultural facility?  What are the most significant?  Live theatre? (The Playhouse, since 1929, on The Ave but entry on 41st or so.)  The Grand Illusion, right over, one floor up but not precisely on The Ave?  Is that the Varsity is owned by Landmark Theatres significant to the intent of the article, distinctively characterizing The Ave?
Both local newspapers of record officially use "The Ave", no period; local North Seattle Herald-Outlook also, 'though they don't have a formal manual of style for that.  Major weeklies?

message: Shouldn't this article be moved back to The Ave? If local consensus (Times & PI) has it that "The Ave" be without a period, and the article itself calls it The Ave, why not the article title? hateless 00:47, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Accuracy is a goal.
That "The Ave declined significantly" was itself significantly due to substantial ongoing lack of capital investment in The Ave.  This phenomenon is itself a significant component of urban vitality with respect to other neighborhoods or various developments.  Over decades, this and lack of creative investments are among the causes of urban decay.  As such the causal phrase is important to an accurate assessment.  That University Book Store moved to The Ave after a fire and into a former pool hall is illustrative of origins and of the character of The Ave.  Recall that the year was in the midst of Prohibition, that fire has been one of the signal events in urban development, and these two had this effect upon The Ave.  In hindsight, they were seminal contributions to the development of the character of The Ave--in still further ways, as a look at property ownership on that block demonstrates.

message: Is that defining paragraph really necessary? Third place is already linked. This is the article on the Ave., not on third places in general. --Lukobe 05:31, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I feel like I am reading some sophomore philosophy major's paper on existentialism of place, and that it's inappropriate for wikipedia.

message: This is one of those places where I am so frustrated by Wikipedia's ban on original research. The article has the absurdly low "at least six cafes on the Ave or its alleys". I don't know where that number comes from, nor what they consider a "cafe", but it seems to me that well within any reasonable definition, the scene includes:
* Solstice
* Cafe Zoe
* The original Allegro (on an alley parallel to the Ave); arguably, its second location in the College Inn also counts
* The Ugly Mug (half block off)
* The Cafe at the corner of 42nd that used to be the Roma, but I can't recall its new name
* Sureshot
* The Continental
* Caffe Apassionato
* WOW Bubble Tea
* Shinka Tea Company
* Yunnie Bubble Tea
* Pochi Tea
* Gingko Tea House
* Tully's 
* Starbucks
* Wannabee (one block off)
* Still Life on the Ave (at the Grand Illusion); technically, the entrance is around the corner, but it is clearly effectively on the Ave.
This doesn't even count hangouts that are mainly bars or restaurants or takeout food joints, nor does it count things like U. Bookstore and Bulldog News, both of which have busy espresso operations, nor does it count ice cream stands. And I'm sure I'm missing something, this is all just offhand. - Jmabel | Talk 01:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I fixed them from "Fuck class" to "Cut class", which is the correct version. I'm glad that someone included it on this page, though. Naturalprocess 07:20, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: "When in groups, they can be particularly unsettling in appearance. Many of them are victims of abuse and addiction to narcotics, particularly cocaine and methamphetamine; most are aimless, looking for something to do. They commonly cluster in groups all along the Ave, buying and selling marijuana and doing hard drugs in the alleys."
Really? What's the source for this material? It seems inflammatory to me if it doesn't have an actual source.
