What’s up with Buy an Artist Coffee Day?  Coffee houses have long been a place for friends, colleagues, and strangers to gather and find commonalities, discuss goals, and make connections. Artists have been participants in this process – networking with local businesses, finding creative inspiration for their work, and sharing ideas. Celebrate this connection – invite an artist for a cup of coffee and help support some of Tacoma’s local coffee houses.

    Ken, This story is so cool! Since our neighborhood is making a wish list for the safe & clean program maybe we should ask for those signs to be placed around the area. Let’s see, Manitou Park vs So.Tacoma Rocks? I call those very large rocks leaverites = to big to move so leave it right there! I know that the rock on 56th used to be the Lincoln High School Rock. The students would paint it with Lincoln colors and then a rival school would paint over it. Thanks for the history lesson. Kathy

    I am in the middle of a multi year retaining rock project built from rocks. When I see new construction that has stirred up a crop of rocks I pull over and harvest them. I am worried that someday I will be arrested for rock rustling but so far have only been told I have to take them all.

    “SoTac Rocks” is better than “Welcome to Ruston; Don’t Touch the Dirt!”
