Happy Thanksgiving!
The holiday season is once again here, heralded by a frigid front. In the cold, sharp air, Tacoma seems alarmingly still and quiet. With any luck, the sense of tranquility will translate to reality – because your Exit133 writers will not be around to spread the news of any momentous events. Like you, we will be huddled close to sources of warmth and preparing obscene amounts of food.
We wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. In the spirit of the holiday, it is fitting that we should express gratitude for the sincere interest in Tacoma demonstrated by our loyal readers. Your dedication and love for this city gives us a reason to share events and initiate community conversations. Your comments and feedback inspire and sharpen us as writers. Thank you.
But if you must have one tidbit of Tacoma news – the Journal of Commerce ran a story this morning praising the relatively apolitical functionality of the Ports of Tacoma and Seattle here. What do you think?
How will you be spending your Thanksgiving? Any holiday food tips for those of us who enjoy culinary experimentation?

I am thankful a nice lady noticed 30,000 gallons of water flooding Old City Hall building before any more damage could be done. Demolition through neglect is foiled again! Take that THE CONSPIRACY!

Luckily the weather cleared up in time so that it was possible for me to go (drive)to my Family Thanksgiving Dinner party.Had the weather not warmed up the driving conditions would have been too dangerous (ice)to go.
It was a very very close call.

On the ports: there is a reason that the Sound is one of the only areas left on the continent that still has a growth economy. I fear that unless we do something to control the Initiative situation (Eyman FTW) in a decade we’re going to look more like Collyfornia than ourselves.
