Prium's 'Porpoise Landing' project re-named
Prium Companies'/Homes' future condo project on the Foss known as Porpoise Landing in downtown Tacoma now has a new moniker. How's "Nineteen Thirty-Three at Dock Street" work for ya? Works for me. It's certainly a bit classier a name than "Porpoise Landing" and it sure makes a lot more sense than naming it after a creature that probably never graces the Foss waterway. I'm also pretty sure you have to spell it out every time to make the number seem that much more important. Like fancy restaurants that list prices that way and without price tags. Maybe the price sheets for condos in this development will list them as such:
Six Hundred Fifty Five Thousand
I could see it. So long funny name and hello never-forget-where-you're-at-because-it's-the-address name! Seems like the kinda' thing we were trying to do with naming the Plaza. Oh, well. At least someone understands calling when it's good to keep it simple.

I thought you were kidding Kevin but it looks like you are right.
I think they might have changed their name because of the thread Derek had mocking the dolphin reference. Derek was having (false) flashbacks of when dolphins used to come and jump in the waterway.

Well atleast they aren't naming the projects after what I heard was their kid's names.
