Stop driving to work

A whole mess of people are on a mission to make you stop driving to work so much. I’m one of them. Stop driving to work. Seriously.     Wait … I guess they just want you to try other ways of getting to work. You know, other than driving by yourself.

Olympia measures itself by height

For months the debate has raged in Washington’s capital city: to raise building height limits on the isthmus in Olympia, between Capitol Lake and Budd Inlet, or not? It’s an idea the Olympia City Council has been batting around for a while, and Tuesday, Sept. 30 we got our first

Bier ist gut, yo

Occasionally an event hits Tacoma that’s simply perfect for this hard working, blue collar, dirt-under-the-fingernails and no-savings-account-to- speak-of town. Every once in a while, there’s an event that’s quintessential Tacoma — and when that happens it’s imperative Tacomans take note.    So, Tacoma, prepare to take note.   This Saturday, Oct. 4, Bob’s Java

Caped hip-hop crusaders

A few months back when I had a squaresville job at a bookstore, I ran into none other than mixmaster Lok Skywalker, the triple OG from the Eastside. He's an MC, producer, audio engineer, graphic designer, family man and a straight-up "G." Lok was just wearing a regular fit. He

HK’s Flash turns 40

Bobble Tiki makes no bones about it. He’s no young pup anymore. Even on weeks like the current one, when Bobble Tiki is just returning from a relaxing vacation full of boxes of wine and naps on the couch, Bobble Tiki can’t help but feel his age. Bobble Tiki’s bones

Bayonet to the heart

Like John McCain before the first debate, I’m going to suspend my campaign — sort of. Meaning that I’m going to quit being a critic — sort of. Because Matthew Scott’s show at Lark Gallery, At War, should be seen for its content and not necessarily for its artistic quality. Scott,

Harvester Restaurant

Back at the beginning of April Bandito Betty and I attempted to get our drink on in the Harvester’s lounge. As with many things attempted in my life, another mission had failed. When we first visited, there was no bartender in sight for at least 15 minutes. We eventually gave

Main squeeze

I found myself last week in conversation with my wife uttering words I thought died with the Great (was it really?) Depression. While discussing the collapse of our economy and watching my elected leaders prove, once again, that my cat could run the country better, my wife reminded me that,

Breakfast for dinner

A few weeks back, I ran into a friend at the grocery store during the late afternoon hours and asked her, “What’s for dinner?” “Breakfast!” she replied. Memories from when I was a kid bubbled to the surface. I remembered that occasionally my mom would serve breakfast for our dinner.
