The one that gets me is Warren Aakervik - he retired long ago, but still comes into the office of Ballard Oil for the sole purpose of delaying the Missing Link. It's a poor legacy to work so hard for, in a city packed with inspiring examples (e.g. Myrtle Edwards).

- mehhh 7y agoHe would be far from the first Ballardite to work hard to fight progress. IIRC there is a whole exhibit at the Ballard Locks on people who moved to Ballard and Fremont to "escape the city", under the premise that 45th would never be electrified in their lifetimes. For most of this group, they were in for a rude awakening when City Light built out Fremont and Ballard.
