This Memorial Day weekend was the most tragic and the very worst for everyone in Tacoma because we lost someone who was so important to so many people. Tears immediately streamed down my face last Saturday when I read an e-mail letting me know that Gayl Bertagni, one of

I’ll never forget the day that my college religious studies professor uttered these sad yet very true words in our class about Eastern religions: “Even in life’s happiest moments, you’re always leaving something behind.” Nothing could be truer about today, and my eyes are welling with tears as I say so.

As I wrote last week on our blog Spew, there’s a new/old joint that I hope you’ll check out: 1022 South. This bar was formerly known as The Monsoon Room, and its location makes it such a wonderful sister to the Hilltop’s very own hip, darling and eclectic Tempest Lounge. Recently, Neil

Whenever I think of this thing called Tacoma, there’s one place that I won’t ever be able to separate from that word: Sanford & Son Antiques. Sanford & Son is filled with 20 amazing Middle Floor Merchants, and there are so many things I admire about this building, the events held within

You really know that times have changed in this city when you're in a room on Tacoma's Hilltop that's packed with people who are full of happiness. Although it sounds wicked cliché, that's really the best way I can describe last night's soft opening of 1022 South (the former Monsoon Room). Delightful

Those who spend any amount of time with me know for a fact that there are only a few holidays that are near and dear to my heart. I don’t participate in capitalistic Christmas. Valentine’s Day makes me want to hurl. New Year’s Eve is rookie overload. Thanksgiving only reminds me
