Sumner is a quaint little town with a quaint little downtown shopping district and quaint little dining establishments all within a quaint walk from each other. Around the corner from this quaint area is some of the best coffee and best time spent — Beyond the Bridge Café. But if

Initially I wanted to interrogate a car salesman from one of the car lots off North First Street in the Stadium District. I was passed off and sent to three different buildings, at one of which NO ONE even acknowledges my existence. Did I look that trashy? Did I look

I received a note from one of this column’s loyal seven readers concerning a bar in Lakewood called The Schooner. It was written on the back of a napkin and had the scent of fermented urine, so I knew it was legit. The note stated that amongst most Lakewood boozehounds,

Puyallup seems to think cooler weather demands warm wine and friendly art, and I can’t help but agree completely. This Saturday afternoon The Puyallup Mainstreet Association has rallied up another one of

Not that there needs to be another reason for me to hang out in the Proctor District, with all it’s unique stores and locally owned restaurants, but there is a special weekend that draws me in like no other: the Proctor District’s Annual Chocolate Festival. You read it right; they’ve

We took the Thorne Lane exit into Tillicum and after a mile stretch on Union Avenue we had passed about 12 barber shops before reaching Galloping Gertie’s. Twelve barber shops within one mile? Are you kidding me? I know Tillicum is primarily an off-base military town filled with young crew-cut

Just when I think the chew toys for my two dogs and one cat have been destroyed, my animals pull them out of some deep dark corner of the house — and the unharmed toys become resurrected. Dammit, animals, you’ve figured out how to trick me into buying new toys! I’ve

The plan was to pick up a few of these infamous “boxed lunches” from Pacific Grill and bring them to my husband’s work. My plan was foiled when the nice Pacific Grill phone answerer told me they are typically ordered 24 hours in advance. I immediately responded with an “Excuse
