Deluxe Violence

Of the five Dick's Drive-In locations—Wallingford, Holman Road, Broadway, Lake City and Lower Queen Anne—the lone indoor Dick's on the LQA is generally regarded as the one in need of the mellowest police presence. The enclosed nature of the LQA Dick's makes it less susceptible to high-school cruisers, drunken college students, and insufferable wiggers intent on flaunting their sound systems or rims. Granted, this can make for quite an enjoyable human circus at 2 in the morning, but it's generally pretty annoying—which is what makes the LQA Dick's such an oasis of unfettered flavor and tranquility. Yet after two alleged violent attacks within the past two weeks—one stabbing, one shooting (no fatalities, as reported in the Queen Anne News)—that rep may be subject to review.
