On a frequent basis, sisters Lisa Doan and Linda Spencer swallow any common sense they have and actually let me into their shop, Nail Arts, which they co-own. What do I do to thank them? Bug them profusely with obnoxious questions. Some of their answers were so honest and raw;

Ginger Knoxx, the hardcore dive bar girl that she is, had told me that Lucky Silver wasn’t as sleazy as one would think. I had never been in and was curious as to what this South Tacoma Way establishment had to offer. From the outside, Lucky Silver screams flagrant trash,

There seems to be a lot of sex lingo amongst some of the writers in this fine rag this week. Being one of those perverts myself, I find things way too easy when given unlimited usage of sexual-innuendos, especially when it comes to talking about hot dogs. In order to

I made a new best friend at Valley Pub on Pacific Highway, and she goes by “Roxy.” The minute I walked into Valley Pub Roxy introduced herself, called me cute, and we took off as friends from there. The manager (I think her name was Vaughn) checked my ID while

Fife City Bar & Grill (and Lounge!) has a couple of first-glance dive qualities about it from the get-go. First of all, it’s in Fife.

The original projected opening date of the new Tacoma Mall Nordstrom is expected to be Oct. 3, 2008 at 10 a.m. As I'm typically a supporter of small locally owned businesses, there's no denying my intense love for Nordstrom as well. The service is unbeatable, and the attention to fitting detail
