It should come as no surprise to you wonderful readers that one of the things I’m passionate about in life is small, locally-owned businesses. And I love that they’re all over the place here in Tacoma. We have so many that they’re even neatly assembled as business districts with names that you

Emily Adler, Jessica Gavre, Aurora Jewell, and Kendra Varadi. These are four important names to me. Each of these women is beautiful, intelligent and unique. And I won’t lie: I’m completely partial, because I’m friends with them, but the reason I’m writing about them is because if this hasn’t happened already, your

Lately the local music scene has been weighing heavily on my mind, but not because it’s a bad thing. I, for one, feel that for a city of this size (approximately 200,000) we’re fortunate to have a great scene with diverse styles and sounds. S***, I just feel lucky that we have

Each and every single week that goes by, Tacoma gets smaller and smaller to me. I stand out at my bus stop; I cross the street; I walk into the grocery store, businesses, restaurants; WHATEVER!; and I now know people everywhere I go — more and more each time. I’m not at

In January we (actually, I) broke the news on our blog (www.weeklyvolcanospew.com) about a new nightlife establishment that will hit Tacoma’s streets named Maxwell’s.

History has shown us what an incredible force music can be, and I’m here to assert that this powerful form of art is alive and transforming our own humble Tacoma in ways that you might not be putting together. That’s why Tacoma’s music scene is this week’s Scene of the Crime. This

Lately I’ve been noticing a nightlife epidemic that’s starting to give me some wrinkles on my forehead because I’m worried. Establishments that once carried just beer and wine have added hard alcohol to their lineup. Don’t get me wrong, I have a complete understanding that hard alcohol secures egregious amounts of the
