The Night Feeling is the thoughtful nostalgic emotion you feel when you drive alone at night, or see a city skyline at dusk with the wind in your face.

It’s a community for the feeling you get when you’re feeling lonely but at peace, thoughtful but melancholy, and homesick for something you can’t quite remember

Rules:

  1. No bigotry: Including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
  2. Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here.
  3. No NSFW content.
  4. No Ads / Spamming.
  5. Be thoughtful and helpful: even with ‘stupid’ questions. The world won’t be made better or worse by snarky comments schooling naive newcomers on Lemmy.
  6. OC Only. All content should be original.
  7. Photos/Videos/GIFs only. All posts should be photos, videos or gifs, no music playlists please.

P.S. Need mods.

Exploring the city, it feels both dark and somehow inviting. New experience for sure.

Wish I could figure out how to attach multiple photos in voyager.

I love Seattle at night, you can get such different feelings. It's such a pretty city, and it really does look better in the rain.

Just avoid 3rd Ave

So I walked 3rd late yesterday on the way to the needle... It's a work in progress, seems to be reviving itself, but it wasn't too rough.

What was 3rd like previously?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It comes and goes honestly. Sometimes I feel completely fine - othertimes it feels off. It's the transit cooridor so it just attracts a lot of attention, and the McDs on 3rd and.. Pike I believe? always looks like a zoo.

I was out last weekend and it was completely fine, but 2 months ago there were a lot of people shouting and causing commotions, so it just depends. It was great a few years ago, I'm hoping it's just a blip.

Hey I know that intersection! I love living in the city I never used to see posts of places I recognized when I lived in small towns

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I love the look of urban places at night

Nice picture, but as a biker I hate them putting those lanes on that road. 🤣

[–] RubberElectrons 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I know the feeling, as both cyclist and motorcyclist haha. "They're just lines on the road, no real safety!" Vs "aww man, it's bottlenecking traffic by reducing lanes".

Ultimately, imperfect but appreciated by me. Or did you mean the incline?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yea the incline. Seattle has this stupid habit of putting the bike lanes on the steepest hills. No biker is ever going up those.

[–] RubberElectrons 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Haha I saw at least a few young ladies smiling as they walked their bikes up those hills on the sidewalks. At least they're fun to go down 🤷

The one on yesler is even more of a mind fuck. When 3 blocks over they could do Jackson. Really feel like whoever sets those up had never ridden a bike.
