Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I am sure `crack' will be the next drug to be legalized by Washington, as the taxes from marijuanaRead More will never be enough..! I am sure all the `illegal' suppliers will just give up, and get a license/permit to distribute and send their take to the government..lol (Nightmare on Market Street??)

Ken you crack me up. I guess some people would think of it as the field of dreams.
West Side Branch logo
Ken Campbell May 23, 2013 at 11:51 am
I wonder how much this `re-branding' cost?? Perhaps the City of UP could get a deal on what theyRead More want to spend on `re-branding'! It still sounds like Tacoma is the preferred branch of Pierce County - that is, why is not `Pierce County Chamber of Commerce' - and what is the implied difference between `west side' and `south county' ? And, of course, that begs the question - is there an` east side' and a `north county' that is being ignored?? I don't know why I am so confused..maybe because their new logo has a haunting resemblance to that of a former company that went bankrupt... And, lastly, let us hope that `business in motion' is moving into our county, and not out of it..

Now THAT's interesting....would be nice to know why.

No sweat Dan. Here's the link. By the way, this story also took first in the Washington PressRead More Association contest, so people apparently related to the team's story. Go Curtis!

I went to Mt. St. Helens and did a hike last weekend. It's so amazing to see a broken mountain inRead More repair... I hadn't been since I was a kid, but it was quite an experience!
Christie Anderson May 20, 2013 at 08:25 pm

Brent Champaco (Editor) May 17, 2013 at 09:19 am
Hey Patty, thanks for this note. I'm trying to get in touch with the city and the developer. WasRead More this discussed at a meeting or something?
Ken Campbell May 16, 2013 at 07:49 pm
