SR16 to Sprague Avenue Connections Go Bye Bye
Do you run the Nalley Valley corridor on SR16? If so then it’s time to get ready for a little construction and plan to add some extra time to your commute. Starting tomorrow, Friday the 13th, the two eastbound on and off ramps that connect SR16 to Sprague will close. These changes will allow the project to begin demolishing bridges and build new ones. The downside is that the 15,000+ cars that use these ramps will have to find a new way onto the freeway. So, to help manage traffic on the increasingly pinched highway beginning tomorrow, meters will be turned on at the Jackson, Pearl, Orchard, Center and Union onramps.
Looking for the big picture? Project information can be found at www.tacomatraffic.com
Remember to slow down and help keeps our friends in the orange vests safe so they can get this job done as quickly as possible.

That was an attempt to capitalize off of the new Viaduct and the associated road work to bring the attention of the general populace of the greater Tacoma area to the presence of the office space downtown and promote this site, both of the same name as the I-5 exit mentioned previously. In addition to using State pending to promote the business, it was also intended to be used in the process butter Derek up into giving me my own blog.
Wasn’t it obvious?

Thorax- You remind me of the do-good jackass from Good Will Hunting who spits out nonsensical rubbish to impress women, only it backfires because everyone knows just how transparent he really is.
How do you like them apples!

I assure you, I am as big of a geek as is indicated.
Also, my ego is merely the same size has my head.
Furthermore, I like apples.
In closing, I’m told Robin Williams swears a lot in “Goodwill Hunting”.
