Sasquatch Hunter Hits the Streets of Tacoma .. Literally

BJ Baldwin came to town with his 800hp Trophy Truck to battle Bruce The Sasquatch on our streets in late September (That's a sentence I never imagined writing). Roads were closed. Film crews set up as an oversized pickup went uphill, downhill, drifted through corners, and jumped Tollefson Plaza. The product of that work is now online. Check out Tacoma ... and please don't try this yourself.

Since we have your attention - while you're here - have you read this week's City of Tacoma City Council Preview yet?

How did we not know they were filming this? (though it says something that they could take over the streets of Tacoma and no one would notice. Guess that's kinda cool in it's own right.)

  People knew. There was a blurb in the TNT.

Political Correctness 101: It's not a vacant downtown, it's the new Redneck Rectangle District. Can we get that on some wayfinding signs??
