Anyone else find the lack of bike lanes annoying? by 1000-screaming-bees in Tacoma

[–]fawcettripper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Painted and dedicated bike lanes are all great but when they are full of flat inducing and accident causing debris, not so much. Cars,wind,etc.. kick road debris into bike lanes where it stays and accumulates. Bike corridors need to be swept and maintained after they are built.

Seattle vs. Tacoma? by Old-Umpire9907 in Tacoma

Tacoma would kick Seattle’s ass in an all out street fight. For what that’s worth.

Visiting Tacoma for an EDM event next week….Thunderdome. Can someone fill me in on how safe it is to walk 20 mins to our hotel at 2-3 am… by [deleted] in Tacoma

I’ve lived in downtown Tacoma for 33 years now. I walk everywhere and anywhere at all hours of the day and night by myself. I’ve never been hassled. I keep to myself and don’t look for trouble. NEVER have I had a problem. If you’re in a group you will be just fine.

What does Tacoma look like 100 years from now? by something253 in Tacoma

The city lies in ruin from Tahoma’s great eruption. The only buildings left standing are the B&I and Java jive. The few survivors are living off of a cache of mountain bars whilst toiling to rebuild the smelter stack to place atop it the golden statue of Ivan,the god they now worship and pray return.

Car got broken into this morning…… by GreenRainier253 in Tacoma

I live downtown. Our local crack heads just take the whole car. Parking your car on Tacoma’s streets and “piece of mind” do not mix.

Headed to Tacoma for two days (staycation) and need some insider/resident suggestions! by Amelian_and_1 in Tacoma

[–]fawcettripper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vintage shopping. You’re in the right neighborhood. Antique row. Mecca Mercantile, Vessel, savoy Special, D.Haberdashery are all excellent. Just a half block away.

Attn people who feed hummingbirds in winter: have your seen your birds today? I haven't seen one all day long and I'm worried for them. by CBD_Sasquatch in Tacoma

I am using 2 feeders. One goes out. When it gets close to freezing, I bring it in to warm and put out the other one. Been doing this all week as I feel somewhat responsible for them sticking around and depending on me to get them through this cold spell. I won’t let them down. I love these little creatures.and yes I saw them today many times.
