Volcano Labels Frost Park'ers "Bigots"

The Weekly Volcano is often good for a laugh but the tongue in cheek note regarding Frost Park in the 2008 Best of Tacoma goes too far. Titled "Best Pointless Protest" the piece pokes fun at the folks that weekly enjoy the park during their lunch hour and has now become an inspirational place for active chalk art each week.

Government Finally Acknowledges Frost Park Chalkings

Nearly four months have transpired since the first Frost Park Chalk Off on April 11, 2008, nearly four months ago.Chalk Off competitions have been repeatedly reported in local media such as the News Tribune, Weekly Volcano, Exit 133 and an uncountable number of blogs on Feed Tacoma.Yet the Chalk Off competitions have never to my knowledge been recognized by any governmental agency whatsoever.  Until today.

HALT: Mike Lonergan Sign Theif!

Dear At Risk Youth, Although you may think it is funny to vandalize my political yard sign, then outright steal it a few days later it's not.   In fact it is a CRIME.  Trespassing on my property to remove a political yard sign is not only a crime.  It is a crime against democracy.  Sign Bigots (below):There really is no excuse for this behavior.  It is my belief that THE PARENTS of such children are JUST AS MUCH TO BLAME! !

Kale? Already??

My weekly manna from heaven (veggie delivery) came and while the carrots, peaches, blueberries, apricots, and red-leaf lettuce delighted me, I have to admit to feeling...deflated on seeing the kale.  I'm aware that CSA co-ops and organic delivery can translate to "lots of kale and chard" --but I thought that was more, like, fall and winter?

What Shoppe window smashed.

The What Shoppe at 740 Broadway (Across from Sanford and Son) became victim of a nighttime brawl that resulted in someone being thrown through the plate glass windows of the shop. Product loss could have been worse, but they will have to replace the windows.
