This week I’ve decided to focus on a topic that should be of interest to every single one of you readers, whether you’re young or young-at-heart. Sometimes it’s not the newest stuff in town that’s the best. Often our community amenities that have stood the test of time are really where

Personally I detest quiz nights at bars. Being the career booze hound that I am, I can’t understand why people don’t just go out and drink, instead of looking for excuses to drink like trivia nights. I’m also not that happy with sitting in one place for that long. What’s more,

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
