Parking Meters For Tacoma?

A few of you have some opinions about parking around here.  So from what we hear you may have some more things to talk about.  The word on the street is that metered parking may be coming to the Stadium District, Proctor, and Sixth Avenue.  If it’s a go it’d hit all three places at the same time.  At least some folks would like to model the idea on Pasadena, California.  Our understanding is that the money from the meters would/could be put back into district improvements.  Of course, some of these facts may be the wants and not necessarily what’s in the actual plan.  Any thoughts?

    And it looks like they hit the target. When do we get to see the final product?

    I looked at the clip. The character who wants to abandon her real estate job for a dancing career had better stick with real estate.

    I’m curious, Fredo…what does your last comment mean?

    I think that fredo is saying that she’s not a good dancer.
