I’ve gone past the Del Norte Hill Antenna Site at 1423 S. Grant, Tacoma, plenty of times and have on occasion wondered what it was. Apparently a traditional residence at one point, the property is now devoted to an FCC registered, 39.6 meter (130 feet) antenna structure. The total height is 42.7 meters (140 feet). The sign on the building states that tower space is available.
Their website says that Silk Thai at 3401 Sixth Avenue, Suite F is Tacoma’s favorite Thai restaurant and perhaps it is. They have consistently savory food, lovely decor and our waitperson was spot on.

Driving around today deciding on my new place of the day I finally saw my first sign of Spring! Yes! There is hope! Here in the Republic Parking Northwest Lot ($2/hour, $8/all day) there were several cherry trees blooming their cheery pink blooms. I took a couple of shots with my regular camera, as well as with the Hipstamatic app on my phone http://hipstamaticapp.com/
This particular parking lot is located at 1517 Fawcett Avenue, Tacoma, which is the Southeast corner of Fawcett Avenue and South 15th Street.
Today our family was celebrating and we decided to try a new to us restaurant, Casa Mia Italian Restaurant at 7304 Lakewood Drive, Suite 1, Lakewood, WA 98499. We’ve been looking for a local Italian restaurant that is more than a pizza place, but won’t break the budget. Casa Mia was just what we wanted. We had Rosemary Chicken Ravioli, Manacotti and a submarine sandwich. All three were delicious and the service was fast and friendly. I’ll have to try a pizza sometime soon. The chicken pizza with three cheeses looks particularly tempting!
Casa Mia Italian Restaurant is a chain of eight (Lakewood, Yelm, Olympia, Hoquiam, Kennewick, Lacey, Puyallup and Richland). The first of them opened in 1952 in Hoquiam.
