Toyota Tacoma 

(Not to be confused with the City of Tacoma)

A used to be small truck usually found being driven through remote areas due to its off-road capability.

Older ones were of the compact variety, while newer ones are considered midsize. All generations of Tacoma’s have nevertheless looked very nice - newer models even have a fairly premium interior and respectable exterior styling- and have maintained their almost bulletproof nature.

One can see many of these Tacoma’s on Instagram and other social media platforms sporting an extensive array of - usually palatable- modifications and being affectionately called “Taco” or even “Taco Supreme” if the owner believes their truck is the superior Tacoma.

Due to multiple factors including a dedicated owner base and solid reliability, a Tacoma will always be relatively expensive. A Tacoma will NOT drop in resale value, a later model Tacoma can still cost the same as a brand new one. Even an older 10 year old Tacoma can easily be in the 5 figure price range.

Other Toyota’s relating to the Tacoma include:
Toyota 4Runner Toyota Tundra
Toyota LandCruiser Toyota HiLux
Toyota FJ Cruiser

The closest competition to the Tacoma include:
Honda Ridgeline Chevy Colorado
GMC Canyon Honda Ridgeline Ford Ranger
Nissan Frontier Jeep Wrangler

Person 1: Why’d you buy a Toyota Tacoma? The other trucks seem like they’d fit you a lot better.

Person 2: The aesthetic.

Person 1: Ok but-

Hilltop Tacoma 

Hilltop Tacoma is a reference to the neighborhood directly up the hill from the Downtown Tacoma area and has had a reputation for being hand in hand with gang violence, drugs and shootings. This is a reputation that was built in the 1980s, 90s, and in the early 00s due to the inception of the Hilltop Crips. Due to the major gang influences that were happening in the Hilltop area, Tacoma police department has beefed up patrols, put a police sub station in, and violence has since started to decline, thus making a much nicer and revived neighborhood.

The homes in the Hilltop area are mostly old, craftman homes and 90% of the homes built are documented in the Tacoma Library system. To accompany these beautiful homes in the Hilltop area is the Fulcrum Art Gallery in the Tacoma Tofu building on Martin Luther King Jr Way, which is the heart of Hilltop. Oliver, the owner of Fulcrum, brings in some beautifully gritty art that encompasses the vibe of the area. As well as Fulcrum, there's the upscale Tempest Lounge and "1022 S J" that offer up fancy drinks and a nice ambiance right in the heart of what used to be a very bad neighborhood.

Several places that people should know in Hilltop Tacoma are the following:
Hilltop Pawn and Loan--everyone knows and respects these guys and even refer to one of the owners as "the Mayor of Hilltop". Rumor is, if you can't get the city to help ya, this guy can get the city to help ya. They have also built a rapport with folks that keep people coming back again and again.

the Not so Safeway--when I refer to where I live, I say "across the street from the "not so Safeway" and everyone knows where I'm talking about. You will never see another Safeway like this one. The workers and clerks are tattooed up, speak to you like they're your mother and know everyone in town. This is where you'll see your neighbors and friends doing their weekly grocery shopping.

ACME Grub Cage--not exactly located in what's traditionally known as Hilltop, the Acme is located on the corner of Tacoma Ave and 13th. I have put the Acme in the little Hilltop write up because, well, everyone I know on the Hill refers to this place lovingly as their neighborhood bar. The Acme, under previous owners, used to be a hub for prostitution and drugs but since under new ownership, the place has turned into the equivalent of Cheers. With a beautiful oak bar, pinball, cold and cheap beer, as well as the ability to host small functions, the Acme is a place to see and be seen.

South Tacoma Way 

The street in Tacoma, Washington where most of the hookers and prostitutes congregate. South Tacoma Way is near McChord Air Force Base and Fort Lewis, two of the nation's largest military installations. As such, it sports the largest adult entertainment district in the Pacific Northwest, a sprawling metropolis of porn shops, strip clubs, and streetwalkers.

Full Tacoma 

Am experience that can no longer be had in Tacoma, sure to the gentrification of nearly every rough area and relocation of most ne'er-do-wells to outlying cities like Lakewood Parkland, and Spanaway, none of which are actually Tacoma.
The full Tacoma would include a WALK through the Hilltop on a Friday night, when the cops used to be afraid to drive through, a run through the overpass jungle near the T-dome, and a visit to friends in Salishan, ending the evening in mellow West Tacoma (formerly known as North Tacoma (thanks, University Place (we still hate you))), most likely eating steak fries at Tower Inn & Lanes, or Denny's for the freaks. A walk across the old Narrows bridge was optional, but highly recommended.
R.I.P., T-Town, we miss you.

I tried to give my cousins the full Tacoma, but they got stuck in a crack house on the hill until daylight, when they ran out of money.
