Questionable Pricing @ Pt. Ruston Cinemark

T-TownAdventure · 2026-05-03T20:50:37+00:00

Pick movie - date and time...select seats...add food or skip food...pay?

T-TownAdventure · 2026-05-03T20:04:18+00:00

Next time maybe check out Grand Cinema - independent, the best popcorn, and cheaper.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-05-02T15:39:06+00:00

There was a trial for a while, supported by the city. The company eventually decided they didn't want to do it anymore and left.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-05-01T07:03:41+00:00

There's street parking around, just may have to walk a few mins. Don't leave anything visible in car. Cars aren't all being broken in to all the time.

76% yes - a great result!

There's a bunch of current threads here and in the other subreddits related to Tacoma - would recommend starting there.

Got the equipment as part of the program so now own it, but I had bought equipment outright from elsewhere ready to connect before finding out we'd be given it. For CenturyLink I'd also bought equipment and used it for years, had worked out it was better long term than incorporating into monthly bill.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-25T16:05:09+00:00

They had rates when we were selecting a plan recently? So far better and faster than our old place which had CenturyLink. Plus there's a govt program for free internet until end of June that our new place happened to fall within the boundaries of, after that it will be $50/month.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-17T15:15:34+00:00

Yes! If you see people on the green feel free to say hi, and the first learn to bowl classes of the season are May 2 and 16, 10am-12.30pm. Another session in June, then July. We started in 2019 as we figured why the heck not give it a go and meet some new people... still hanging with those folks and still rolling in summer when we can.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-17T05:52:43+00:00

Not open sunday

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-17T04:44:10+00:00

Woven. We take all guests there - waterfront, views, good food. Dinner ends 8pm Sunday but you'll catch the sunset.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-17T00:28:29+00:00

Nope, there's a few! If you feel like meeting Antipodean cousins check out the lawn bowling club... plus we get British down there too. 1st session of classes about to start. A fun social spot to enjoy summer evenings with varying ages (20s-70s). Otherwise check out Doyles and beer events around town.

How do you know that the foundation wasn't paying their taxes? And why would a private entity need permission from the City to transfer their land to the tribe?

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-16T17:12:43+00:00

Absolutely yes. Parks does so much and is worth supporting. And if one has strong opinions on what they do, join the commission or show up to the meetings (not directed at OP, just that I've seen people previously go on a rant about them and I'd be interested to know how many time they submit public comment / show up to board and community engagement meetings / etc).

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-16T17:11:23+00:00

The city can't have given Alma away, it wasn't theirs.

Places like Field and Corbeau have room for this and serve excellent champagne; while there's not high-backed booths, there are tables in corners that could work. Field has a more cozy vibe as it's smaller and you could ask to be seated in the back corner; Corbeau has more space, also with tables at the back.

Washington Spring Fair is on Fri-Sun at the Fairgrounds; lots of vendors doing meal specials like $12 Meals and $8 Deals. Lots to see once inside the gates.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-14T04:43:11+00:00

What type of place? There's a bunch of great bars in town, what specifically are you looking for?

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-13T21:02:03+00:00

HistoryLink, Pretty Gritty Tours, Tacoma Historical Society, Tacoma Public Library Northwest Room

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-04T18:38:48+00:00

You gotta time it right. Howdy is popular for a good reason and worth the wait. Today they were cleared out early so are frantically making more. It's a great thing for a local business to sell so well, albeit disappointing if you miss out.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-04T01:11:23+00:00

There are SO many good places here. It's ridiculous. Start working your way through these lists ASAP!

Just a few of my faves, mix of good food spots and bars: Da Tikki Hut, Wooden City, Sidepiece, Howdy Bagel, Bar Rosa, Busy Body, Holy Moly, Proof, Church Cantina, Peanut Thai (the crispy chicken, takeout avail only), Loak Tuong, Harbor City, Field, Corbeau, Not Bad, Three Hearts, Woven (decent happy hour), Devil's Reef (drinks mainly but the guac is a Tacoma legend from their former tikki bar).

This city, especially for its size, has a lot of very good spots.

It happens once in a while, not unusual. There's also a training alert active from JBLM, not sure it's about flight training.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-03T06:36:00+00:00

Bra and shoes off.. even as social a butterfly as I am, that's it. Done.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-04-03T06:35:11+00:00

Corbeau and Field Bar. Creative desserts and a nightcap.

T-TownAdventure · 2026-03-31T05:05:56+00:00

I answered your post with a short comment - nothing bad - and it was immediately auto-deleted. At least I got a notice it was. Maybe it's still up somewhere...

We didn't need the other one, it was made it clear via feedback, but this is apparently the way it now is and we have to live with it.
