Trading Spouses - Tacoma Edition
When What Not To Wear came to Tacoma back in June our city looked pretty good. The Museum of Glass hotshop was highlighted. The revitalized downtown was featured in several shops. Now I hear that Trading Spouses has come to Tacoma and will air on January 27th. What will our city look like this time? While What Not to Wear tends to be a positive experience, Trading Spouses seems like a train wreck waiting to happen. I watched the show once and it was a very unpleasant experience. Take two families with completely different backgrounds, values, and experiences and trade one spouse for a week. Lessons are learned. Or not.
In one corner we have the Clark family from North Tacoma. In the other corner we have the Crow family from Belgrade, Montana. From Tacoma we have a motivational speaker, writer, and a husband with a propensity for show tunes. From Belgrade we have a family bail bonds business and an interest in trucks and hunting. This could be painful. How will Tacoma look when it’s all done?

I, for one, welcome our new Hipster Jesus overlords.

Awesome, so we’re going from a church that accepts everyone to one that hates the gays and wants to keep women in the kitchen.

Shhhh, Scott. Don’t scare away their cool-kid target demographic with your “facts.”

I’m not a Mars Hill fan, but can’t we be satisfied that one of our historical buildings will be spared demolition? We’ve lost some neat old bldgs because no one was willing or able to repurpose a property.

I have to say that I’d rather have the building torn down, and the site become a vacant lot than to have it occupied by a bunch of self-righteous, misogynistic, gay-hating, narrow-minded, god-fearing non-thinkers. It would be less of a blight on our community.
