Ah, the age-old problem of translating comic books to the big screen. The writers risk offending some of the hardcore fans with their dumbing-down of plots, other fans dream of big box-office numbers to finally legitimize comics as an art form, and usually Hollywood ends up with a bloated, empty

Balance is an important quality in many realms. Trapeze, for example. And bull riding. And even the field sobriety test. Balance is also important when crafting city noise ordinances — as Tacoma is in the process of finding out. After months of debate and rewording, Tacoma’s first comprehensive noise ordinance went

No more overnighters? On March, 25, when Tacoma’s Human Services Commission made their recommendations to the City Council about the allocation of federal block grant money, money that comes from HUD and is designed to be dispersed to area nonprofits for programs that deal with housing, crime prevention, and economic development

In Tacoma, winter doesn’t want to end (I blame the groundhog), blowing its icy breath with hail and snow pathetically into April. Trying to dress up winter looks has become a chore, so the sea of heavy jackets and windbreakers rages on, hopelessly wishing for spring. The miserable weather didn’t
