I love living in Tacoma.  I really do.  It’s a unique city with diverse people, activities and adventures to be had.

But what the heck is up with our lack of downtown life on the weekends (and during the rest of the week)  and the pathetic homogeneous offerings of food around here?  Yes, I know that is a blanket statement, but I’m going to make it.

This week I was thrilled to see an article in The News Tribune about Tacoma governing bodies becoming more flexible with allowing food vendors, food carts and other delectable street-side temptations.
