Re: Tacoma

LOL - I was thinking of Edward Scissorhands but maybe I'm wrong...
I went to Tacoma last year when I took my daughter to a Green Day concert at the Tacoma Dome. We stayed at a hotel right down the street from the dome. I thought Tacoma seemed pretty okay as a town - we drove around a little and found the Tacoma mall which was nice. Also drove to an area where there were lots of old buildings & museums and a colored glass display that was really cool. I was only there for 2 days, so can't comment too much about Tacoma. Oh, the worst part was trying to leave and get back to I-90. I think it took almost 2 hours just to get out of Tacoma & Seattle and finally hit some open road.

Nope but you are close. It is a movie everyone thinks was filmed in Seattle although most was not. Just like 10 things I hate about you was. Better Hint It was released in 1992. Wow this feels good to stump the Dufferz. Even feels better when its his home state. lol

Hows the Aroma, in Tacoma? =) I hear they have cleaned it up some, and the smell is not as bad as it used to be.. I guess the shutting of paper mills helped?

I remember driving through when I was a kid. It's hard to hold your breath that long.

The smell is gone 99% of the time, but the reputation lives on!

Tacoma and Everett: Seattle's Armpits.
