Currently a dorm resident assistant (RA) and in his junior year as a PLU student, Kyle Sinclair tells me he is working towards a religion degree with a minor in psychology. Screw haunted houses, those two combined fields of study sound like some scary shit. Who the hell knows, maybe

Whew. That was hard. It took me an extremely stressful three minutes to decide on what Emily Bikini’s title should be underneath her name. I was thinking it would be either: bikini model, actress, energy drink entrepreneur, reality show star, tortoise lover, or world record holder for wearing the pinkest

In my mind an old Saturday Night Live skit done by Gilda Radner plays. She’s doing her brilliant “smoking” routine as Roseanne Roseannadanna. Some of you might remember the classic skit where Radner reads a letter from a man complaining of his symptoms, goes on about meeting Dr. Joyce Brothers

Our story begins a long, long time ago in a land far, far away. It was November 2008 when Puyallup citizens approved an “annexation” of the City of Puyallup’s fire department into Central Pierce Fire & Rescue. So what was to become of all the old used Puyallup Fire Department

As a Texas transplant and a product of the southern education system, the fact that there were two separate (and very different) entities called “UPS” in one town confused me for a while. Did you need a college to learn how to deliver packages? Was the brown uniform

Although Alan Gorsuch and his better half, Cheryl, do a fine job running Tacoma’s Sanford and Son Antiques, it’s the borderline trouble Alan stirs up in this community that makes him an interesting Trouble with DeRosa victim. I think we’ve all seen the confident, shirtless, beer-wielding Alan at community events.

Oh hell, it is almost impossible to read my notes from this week’s Trouble with DeRosa interview. As I rocked back and forth on Pacific Parasail’s floating dock, it was all I could do to keep my balance AND write in my notebook. My feeble attempt to somehow support myself

For 12 years, ever since Click!’s conception in 1997, Diane Lachel has kept an office seat warm, and a congenial disposition in Click!’s home base in the Tacoma Public Utilities building.

Widely known as one of Washington’s best restaurants, Pacific Grill ranks high on my list of all-time favorite places to meet friends for lunch. Nothing sets the last leg of my day off to a better start than a Pacific Grill grilled cheese and a glass of perfectly poured wine.

Todd’s totally awesome wife, Wendy, allowed me to kidnap him out of their infamous Infinite Soups kitchen for a brief moment and chill a while over at neighboring bar, Malarky’s. Before I could even create an ass mark in one of Malarky’s benches, Todd had a Pabst Blue Ribbon tall-boy

Something in the sun last week begged me to hit up multiple dives and conquer a daytime pub crawl. I rallied my liver and headed down Portland Avenue into the underrated, friendly neighborhood of Midland. With the sunroof open and the radio blaring, my shriveled liver and I began our

The sun has woken up and the temperature has peaked above 50 degrees. All is good here in the Pacific Northwest as summer awaits us and attitudes begin to improve.
