Kyoto Japanese Restaurant

For some traditional, real-feel Japanese-style dining, one of my favorite places is Kyoto Japanese Restaurant on South Tacoma Way in Lakewood.  Not only does Kyoto serve some damn extraordinary sushi and sashimi, but also the atmosphere is incredible.  My friends and I were lucky enough to snag one of the

Erica has been working for the Harmon Brewery and Restaurant on Pacific Avenue in downtown Tacoma since she was a 16-year-old School of the Arts student. As long as I’ve known Erica, she’s forever been a good sport and willing to play along with my sarcasm. You’d expect me to

Riverside Pub and Eatery (closed)

Opportunity was knockin’ on our dive bar luvin’ door last week as the gang and I tooled around Sumner, drinking to our heart’s content. Directly across the street from Captain Jack’s and in the same parking lot as The Old Cannery, convenience was key as we walked across the way

McCann Motors

Now is the perfect time to buy a car. The specials and rebates on any and all vehicles are fantastic. But with the way the economy is headed (or has already become), is it really the perfect time? It’s a catch 22 that manager Jim Walker and sales executive Harvey

In Between Place

For some time now In Between Place has successfully catered to the young imagination of kids from the ages of preschool to pre-teen. Somewhere in there, my maturity level fits in perfectly. It was on their porcelain throne that my mind wandered into a magical, fairytale place leading me toward

TROUBLE WITH DEROSA: Bill Creveling

Donning the extremely important title of “geologist” may seem like a heavy coat to wear for most individuals. The responsibility a geologist has on our environment can only be daunting and stressful, I would assume. This is not the case for Bill Creveling, self-proclaimed “geologist superhero.”    STEPH DEROSA: How long have

Sgt. Elbow to the Face

Three words for you: blood, bitches and beer. No, I’m not talking about my last evening out with The KAke, I’m talking about Ft. Lewis’ newest weapon of choice — the Fort Lewis Rollergirls. We’ve got a new roller-kid in town, and she’s not about to skate in quietly. The league

Captain Jack's

Last week my crew and I overtook Captain Jack’s out in Sumner. That place is a true, Grade-A dive bar. Jell-O shots, cold domestics on tap, and hodgepodge décor — need I say more? We were in heaven. Along with the good times, great service, and cold beer came the

Captain Jacks Bar & Grill (Closed)

It was frickin’ rainy as all get out, and I was sick to death of furniture shopping at The Old Cannery in Sumner. How many cheap pine coffee tables is this girl expected to gawk at it one afternoon? My limit was 26 cheap pine coffee tables, and I was

Mountain tale

Blue bagged and carried off site? Blogger “Wild Celtic Rose” talked about a camping trip she went on this weekend in Vantage, Wash., where their human waste (poop) had to be blue bagged and carried offsite. Say what?
