Third Thursday in Tacoma is Today
It’s Third Thursday. Get outside tonight and enjoy the city. Galleries and shops will be open. Studios will be open. The museums are free. Do it. No excuses. See what Tacoma has going on. I have so many emails in my inbox about tonight… If you want to plug your space, do so in the comments. Otherwise, just get outside!

Wow. This would be an ideal McMenamins. Being an ex-Oregonian, I’ve been to most of the McMenamins spots and this would be right up thier alley. Just, let’s hope the place, as beautiful as it could be, doesn’t get boarded up like the Elks and forgotten.

I shared a ride down to Eugene a couple weeks ago with a lawyer who represents McMenamins in bar fight lawsuits. Apparently, there are a lot of fights that start a McMenamins establishments. Behind the rustic walls of all those historic preservation efforts are lots of simmering disputes.
What could this mean for A Street? Well, it could turn yet another desolate downtown block into an exciting place to be. That’s the great thing about urban life: you never know what’s going to happen next. Maybe Cliff Street Lofts residents will actually have a reason to look out their windows now that there may be police cars on their block every night breaking up the latest fight.

I’ve spent a good deal of time in the McMenamins establishment and do not recall them being a hot bed of violent behavior. I’m sure they have had some unpleasant incidents over the years but nothing that would make be think they would not be a good neighbor for us in downtown Tacoma.

I live in the Cliff Street Lofts, and besides waiting access to parking permits around our building, the development of this site has been long in waiting. It would be nice for something to happen across the street, but I do like the quiet weekends and nights!
