Capers Downtown There’s everything to like about Eve Hewitt’s Capers Downtown, a downtown Tacoma version of her popular Capers Take Home Eatery in the Proctor District. The downtown version offers seating next to Fireman’s Park, gourmet sandwiches, delicious soups, and worthy wine list with half-glass options for working stiffs. Let me put

Everyone knows about the drunk guy at the party who ends up with a lamp shade on his head. My version of the drunk lampshade scenario is the cowboy hat. It’s the last accessory you’ll ever find me donning, unless I’m drunk. I wore a cowboy hat last Thursday. McCabe’s American Music

Some of the questions about this topic include: Why don’t more downtown restaurants stay open late? Why are some restaurants closed on Sundays? Why aren’t they open for breakfast? I am sure there
