Write an entry Entries about this placeUntitled by Zeke73SGI went to the Antique Sandwich Company a few times and played music, but that was the only cool thing I did in Tacoma (that is in Ruston, more precisely). It seems like it was mostly built in the last 10 years, and it looks very prefabricated and planned out to me (this is “urban gentrification”?). They call it the “City of Destiny”, and that is why I avoid it, I am not trying to meet my destiny there. over 4 years agoUntitled by megz4716I went to UPS and spent four years in Tacoma, and while we all complained incessantly about the lack of anything, I really did enjoy Tacoma…it has several small, quirky neighborhoods, an abundance of good beer, coffee, and food, and of course good people. Although it doesn’t offer the same kind of advantages as a large city like Seattle, it is charming in its own, awkward way. Visit Tacoma institutions like Bob’s Java Jive, Gateway to India, 6th Ave, The Waterfront, Point Defiance, Antique Sandwich Company, The Glass Museum, Tacos Guaymas, Proctor District, The Blue Mouse, The Grand, Stadium Video, MSM Deli, The Parkway, The Hob-Knob, Queen Anne Thriftway (NOT Metropolitan Market), and of course the UPS campus and the North End are very nice… over 4 years agoUntitled by iamjensquaredthe first time i came here…downtown tacoma was dead quiet. i barely remember seeing a single person on the streets. the next time i went…was to see our lawyer. over 5 years agoSee all 36 entries |
