Today, 9/8/10, I made a quick stop at Gas Station Park at 4801 S. Park Ave. Pretty much you can see the entire park from the photo.
Here is an excellent blog entry from Tacoma Mama about the park.

Lincoln Post Office
Today’s place of the day (9/7/10) is the Lincoln Post Office on Tacoma Avenue. This branch is only open from 8 to 5, Monday and Friday, which isn’t very convenient for those working a 9-5 job.
Today, 9/6/10 was back to school hair cut day for dear daughter and off we went. She has a drawing of the hair cut she wanted and while it’s unusual, it looks great on her. The Hairmasters Chain seems to be all over. There are 6 of them within five miles of us! The photo is of their door.

I thought today’s new place of the day would be Wright’s Park, but then I realized I had already checked in there for Ethnic Fest. So, it was a sacrifice, but we went to Frisko Freeze, a Tacoma icon. The milkshake was very, very good! 9/5/10
I hadn’t realized that it is on the historic register. Here is a News Tribune article on that process.

The new place for 9/3/10 is The Harmon Hub in the Stadium District of Tacoma, where I gathered with friends for a happy hour celebration.

Wanting to enjoy one of the last warm summer days, we went to Steamers Seafood Cafe for the new place on 9/2/10. The food is consistently tasty, but it is the location/view that makes this restaurant so special. Adjacent to Titlow Park, Steamers has a view of the Tacoma Narrows Waterway and The Tacoma Narrows Bridges.
The second photo shows the view from the park next to Steamers. In the background is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. It was a lovely evening.

The new place for today, 9/1/2010 was the ever delicious Le-Le Restaurant where I enjoyed Thai Curry. It was great and plenty for two meals.
Every new place can’t be exciting and today’s (8/30/10) was pretty standard. I went to the UPS Store on S. 38th to return a malfunctioning item to Amazon.Com and to send off a birthday present. My timing was lucky for once because there was no line, but when I left the line was six people deep with only one employee working the counter.

On Sunday 8/29/10 I went to Quaker Meeting (Tacoma Friends Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends). Certainly not my first time here, but my first FourSquare Checkin. I even had to make the FourSquare place! This building is straight up the hill from Borders Books, near the Tacoma Mall. Visitors are welcome.
