Hold on children. It’s time to go explore the Collectors Nook.

Getting stuff stolen sucks. Anyone who’s ever returned to their car only to see a mangled mess of wires where the stereo used to be can attest to that. Now imagine being a guitarist in a rock band — your whole persona, love life, hairdo and sleep patterns permanently linked to

This week, local community organizers and public officials will take a big step toward making it hard to get lost in Tacoma. Even better, Tacoma’s wayfinding sign project may help visitors and residents find some of the cool stuff. Truth is, Tacoma already has a few wayfinding signs. But so
