Paddy Coyne's Update - The Sign Looks Good
This mysterious cell phone pick arrived in our inbox and we had to share. Paddy Coyne’s is looking good. The sign is so new and shiny. The word on the street is that the latest pub to land in Tacoma is going to open on Wednesday the 24th – a mere two days away. 100th Monkey. New Pub. This is going to be a good week. Thank you, Erik.

That’s a great story. I’m a little disturbed by a TNT story that marks our fair city as the most crime ridden in the northwest.
This has got to change. I’m going to the safe streets meeting tonight at 6:00. It’s from 6 – 8 tonight at 1501 Pacific suite 305.
In order to change this statistic good people need to organiza and communicate.
We also need to do what you and your friend did. Not be afraid to go out and be seen.

I’d still by a gun. I keep a .38 snubby in my pocket when I am out at night, and I am one of the most peaceful guys you’d meet…left-leaning, Obama happy, non-profit working types. Chances are that I’ll never need it. Never. But if something should happen, I will have a way to defend myself, and get therapy later. I don’t have claws, can’t sprint like a cheetah, my teeth are not sharp enough. This is my way of keeping the odds in my favor.
Even the body guards for the Dalai Lama are packing heat.

Sorry to hear you have been mugged in Tacoma. I have such high hopes for the town. Glad the outcome of the encounter was good.
We lived downtown in the “artist lofts” for many years before and during the remodeling downtown and for the most part felt safe. Nothing like taking a stroll in the snow covered roads downtown and having a wonderful view of the union station glowing in the snow and night sky…

This story is 15 shades of wonderful!

Davest (or anybody else) – Did you notice the founders name for the Peace Walking Group…?
(Think our fine Exit133 founder has a little side project?)

The only time I was mugged in Tacoma, it was by two people with knives and I had no wallet, etc., either. I gave him my spiral journal notebook I had been out working on. He looked at it, like really read it for about 10 seconds and said, “You need this more than we do.” He handed it back and turned and left. I just kept walking. The funny thing is that I was mugged in Boston’s Combat Zone once and it was almost a carbon copy thing about 20 years ago. I am so not worth it, I think I need to take a self esteem class or something.
