Born and raised in Hays, Kansas, Jennifer Schwaller
currently lives in
Seattle, Washington, where she works as an advertising professional.
She attributes her unique
perspective to a variety of formative events - a bedrock populist
upbringing, extensive travel around the world, and a keen interest in
boxing. Her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Kansas
(Political Science and History double major) comes in handy in
dissecting current events.

Shot in 1972 on location in Seattle, Cinderella Liberty is one of my favorite movies. Starring James Caan and Marsha Mason (who won an Oscar for her performance), the title comes from a Navy term for a shore pass which ends at midnight. I highly recommend this film. Rent it if you have time.
The reason why I enjoy Cinderella Liberty is that it’s not only a good story, it shows Seattle at the height of its blue collar, working class, Navy best. It shows the Seattle of Old – pawnshops and bars lining First Avenue, flophouses along the waterfront and the famous Green Parrot Club. Even the Sandpoint Navy base is intact in this movie, when it was hustling and hustling instead of crumbling. It also shows some Seattle of What’s Left – the bus station, the Seattle Center Ferris wheel, a section of Pike Place Market, and the skyline as viewed from the Bainbridge Ferry.
