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.
