Volcano Features Daniel Blue Addressing Rumors of Leaving Tacoma

With Blackwater and the Helm tragically closed, Tacomans don't see much of Daniel Blue anymore. From the Volcano:Fortunately, today's Volcano has a good update on his recent activities and rumors that he may be leaving Tacoma: Since then I've kept watch on Blue, waiting to see where he'd go, what he'd do, because it seemed impossible he'd go nowhere.  It hasn't been hard.  In the home of the Tide Flats and Nalley Valley, of Knapp's Restaurant and the Acme Grub Cage Tavern, Daniel Blue stands out.  He is DayGlo amidst gray.  He's a disco medallion at a folk show.  He''s an aesthete in a town where you can't swing a funky vintage shirt by the tails without hitting three or four pragmatists, a spotlight lover in Shadowsville.

School Levy: predict the outcome

This seems the be a very popular topic.A few folks think more taxes in this economy is a terrible thing, a few people think that NOT taxing more in this economy is a terrible thing.So, let's put that aside for a moment and remember one important thing: people vote with their wallets, and people vote based on how they feel they'll be affected.That being said, place your bets on how you think this will turn out. Please don't get into another shouting match.

by NineInchNachosI don't think many folks will vote either way.

8 versus 5.8

Sometimes I do believe Tacoma gets the shaft for being "it's just Tacoma" to folks that live elsewhere. But I don't believe it's so bad being the underdog sometimes since it gives us something to strive and fight for.
