Taco Bell got moved when they tore down the original QFC. 😝

Wait, where was the QFC before the building it's in now?

Yeah--a freestanding one on Broadway and Republican. Broadway Market was part mall shops anchored by Fred Meyers, until Freddy Kroger took everything over and changed it to QFC. Taco Bell sat at the other end of the original QFC block.

The old QFC had the meanest parking lot security officer of all time. He would SCREAM at people.

There was a Bartell's Drugs mid-block, too. It did not come back after the redevelopment.

We need to get those UK style blue plaques along the whole route.

There *was* a Taco Bell on Broadway (north of Dicks) up until the early 2000s. Also, it takes about 10 min to drive the entire route depicted on the map. Mix and his posse certainly didn't take the direct route between the landmarks mentioned in the rap.

Nah going cruising speed, hitting red lights and pausing to blow kisses to the girls on 23rd etc, 15-20 min easy

Can @minakimes.bsky.social verify this route? Until then, it's sus.

As -I- remember it, the Taco Bell was farther down Broadway at Mercer, then they had to turn around to go back to Dick's... <laugh>

I, too, am one of the olds who want accuracy in my Posse on Broadway map.

I alt texted each section for folks. A thread:

Coincidentally my wife and I are at Life on Mars to watch Brazil v Scotland. Walking out of the light rail station I may have made a reference to my Posse

Just don't put any girlies on your trunk or your hood. That's not safe.

Did I forget that Sir Mix-A-Lot was a Seattleite? 🤣

I went to middle school with Kid Sensation (Steve Spence). When I got a Members’ Only jacket, he and another kid teased me relentlessly about my “be-bad jacket”
