This is no surprise to us, but Men’s Journal names Ballard one of America’s best neighborhoods in the West. They write,
“Despite a decade of buzz, Ballard still feels unspoiled. The same dive bars host the same music; the tasty ex-brothel pizza joint still has tables open. And it’s still got plenty of adventure: 16,000 square feet of climbing at Stone Gardens, and Olympic or Mount Baker national forest, each less than 70 miles away.”
The Dogpatch neighborhood in San Francisco, Reno, NV and Portland’s Mount Tabor district are a few of the other areas to be named. (Thanks Kady!)
