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? Apparently the porta-potties were overflowing with human waste and hadn’t been attended to

TROUBLE WITH DEROSA: Dale Rush

Halloween is finally here, and like most holidays the hype starts well before the actual date.  For some the partying begins weeks ahead. For others Halloween is year-round.  I know you know whom I’m talking about.  Freaks. I stopped into the Hotel Murano last week to nose around its

Ignorant and close minded

The Red Hot is a place where anyone can go.  Anyone can go from any demographic, and from any realm of life.  I would venture to list off specific types of people found warming the barstools of 6th Ave’s most popular beer & hotdoggery – but that would be stereotyping.

Goodtimes

As I mourned the loss of Pizza ‘n’ Pipes in University Place that was lost in a 1999 fire, it was obvious I needed to go visit the site in order to find closure to my depressive state.  I pulled in to the parking lot and a single

Yellow Rose of Texas

As I stretched my legs aboard Continental flight 667 bound for Seatac Airport, I meandered into a cramped airplane lavatory last Sunday.  While inside I reminisced upon what events had transpired that weekend, and how my behavior had affected regretful consequences. Apparently I’m still that person.  I’m still the person

DIVE IN: Beach Tavern

The last time I was at The Beach Tavern on Titlow Beach, let’s be brutally honest, I was in a drunken stupor and wasted as all hell. It was one of three dates I had with a cute guy named Mitch who had a cat named Steve. Needless to say,

TROUBLE WITH DEROSA: Tim McKinney

Initially I wanted to interrogate a car salesman from one of the car lots off North First Street in the Stadium District. I was passed off and sent to three different buildings, at one of which NO ONE even acknowledges my existence. Did I look that trashy? Did I look

Sorci’s Italian Cafe

Sumner is a quaint little town with a quaint little downtown shopping district and quaint little dining establishments all within a quaint walk from each other. Around the corner from this quaint area is some of the best coffee and best time spent — Beyond the Bridge Café. But if

DIVE IN: Schooner Pub & Eatery

I received a note from one of this column’s loyal seven readers concerning a bar in Lakewood called The Schooner. It was written on the back of a napkin and had the scent of fermented urine, so I knew it was legit. The note stated that amongst most Lakewood boozehounds,

Puyallup seems to think cooler weather demands warm wine and friendly art, and I can’t help but agree completely. This Saturday afternoon The Puyallup Mainstreet Association has rallied up another one of
