If you happened to meander into Le Voyeur off Olympia’s Fourth Avenue, you might assume you were in just another eclectic restaurant serving handmade food. You’d see moms with their kids, couples having lunch, and friendly staff behind the line getting their hands dirty as they cooked up some grub.

Much like the critically acclaimed show Mystery Science Theater 3000, which openly ridiculed mediocre science-fantasy movies from 1988 to 1999, the newly formed Tacoma Cult Film Club will honor only the best B-movies one beat-up VCR can handle. Only this time you’re not alone on your Dorito-stained futon laughing at

Where, oh where do I start with this one? I want so badly to tell you about my new friend Sam, McCoy’s doorman. I want to tell you all about his past alcoholism, how he looks just like Seth Rogan, and mimic for you his incredibly funny one-liners. But I

Archibald Sisters is most definitely a necessary shopping stop when in Olympia — especially when you tend to be on the twisted, liberal and openly expressive end of the personality spectrum. Take everything good, clean, nice and pure you ever thought a fluffy Hallmark-type gift store could be and bring it

Back in the day, Frank’s Family Drive-In was located where one can now find Flip-N-Out Burgers on South 12th Street, across from the Mandolin Café. From about 1996 to 2004 owner Marti Fote occupied the space that is forever destined to house a greasy homemade burger joint. After 2004, Fote

Whoa baby! Who knew the Tacoma’s posh Hotel Murano had it in them? In a bored effort to stumble upon something entertaining for the over-21 Internet crowd, all I had to do was search the word “naughty” (give or take a few other descriptive words) and voila — up popped

As Bandito Betty and I spent the day rousing up the relaxed downtown Olympia area, we had thrown ourselves into shopping exhaustion. Thus, a beer was in order. Known for hosting local bands within its hidden back room, 4th Ave Ale House & Eatery was something I had only seen

When it comes down to saying things simply for shock value, this girl just about has me beat. I’ll be honest, during this particular Trouble with DeRosa interview, the frantic request, “Don’t put that in there” came out of her mouth more than a handful of times. Being a longtime loyal

How do you review a coffee bar? Or rather, why would you? Although the level of coffee connoisseurship in Tacoma is on the rise, even the most exacting bean fiend might find the process futile. A barista either knows what he’s doing or he doesn’t. The beans are either sustainably
