Tacoma Renaissance

Have you ever seen the Columbia Bank Center over on "A" Street? I recently became acquanted with the Accounting company Moss Adams, which resides in one of the many suites. The funny part is that I came in "contact" with this company through a fender-bender in traffic with one of its employees (Was actually a pleasent experience! Shows you the kind of people that reside in Tacoma!). I looked them up on the internet to find this pleasant quote:
It is an exciting time to work in Tacoma as the city is experiencing a
renaissance: from the Glass Museum, featuring the Dale Chihuly Bridge, and the
expanding University of Washington Tacoma campus, to the Sound Transit and light
rail and new apartments and condos being built downtown. All of this and more is
within walking distance of the Tacoma office. Not only does this provide
business opportunities, it also provides ways in which our personnel can get
involved in the community. Working in the Tacoma office can provide you exposure
to our group specialties and the ability to experience this renaissance first
hand.
They are absolutely correct. Being a student of the expanding campus of the University of Washington, I too can witness this renaissance first hand. I was very sheltered before this year, being a resident of Gig Harbor, to the amazing aspects of Tacoma Life! I had never ridden a city bus before, and the options are astounding! I took a trip on the Light Rail and was surpirsed, and proud, that our city has a free public transportation system.

To any of those Anti-Tacomans, get rid of those false-first impressions. Come see the countless woderful experiences that are all within walking distance! How can you even say that Tacoma sucks? Its only because you are too ignorant to care.

Your supporter from over the bridge,
