Having trouble making it through the troubled logic of this week’s “Mossback” column [#] in which the Seattle Weekly editor discusses his thoughts on saving Seattle Center by respecting its artificiality? Microsoft Word’s AutoSummarize “feature” comes to the rescue with a 15% synopsis:

Mossback loves Seattle Center but recognizes that it needs help. The driving one is this: Seattle Center is unique in that it was born from a world’s fair–1962’s Century 21 Exposition. Unlike most fairs, our city fathers saw the advantage of keeping the fair site largely intact. By remaining a precinct apart, Seattle Center can continue to maintain many of the qualities of a world’s fair. Like a world’s fair, it is a blend of public and commercial interests, featuring high-minded arts (theater, opera, gallery space) and low-brow entertainment (the Fun Forest). A refurbished Center must also avoid the yuppie trap. Every world’s fair, after all, is also part Puyallup Fair.

The major representative point that you miss with the condensation is a head-scratching equivocation about the polarizing Experience Music Project: “Love it or hate it, it is hard not to suggest that visitors spend an afternoon there.”

I don’t hate the EMP, but I’m wondering if there are other Seattle attractions that you hate and would recommend that your friends waste their time and money visiting?
