What the heck is it with Tacoma? It amazes me that nobody has seriously suggested the place is cursed by God. Does anything good ever come from our poor city? I guess we have the Chihuly glass museum. Snort.

There's Fort Lewis, McChord Air Force Base, and that's about it.

Otherwise, there's the crips on Hilltop (though I guess a lot of them were supposedly run out) and the distinction of being in the leading county for meth production in the United States.

I think Tacoma may serve the same purpose for the rest of Washington as Australia did for the British Empire. Except the settlers didn't clean up their act.

Well, Ted Bundy grew up there. And they say he was a real good serial killer.
