Tacos on my mind
I always love how certain things in life just tend to synchronize sometimes. Yesterday when I wrote about some historic maps, a reader noted he was thinking about getting into some historic maps just that morning. Today, it's tacos. First there's a not-so-recipe-oriented article in the News Tribune suggesting folks drop the BBQ this Labor Day weekend and instead opt for the far easier to dish up tacos. Good idea even if Ed was a bit light on the culinary specifics there.
The cowinkydink part comes as tonight is also $1 soft taco night at our favorite (and only, actually) dueling piano bar Chopstix! Head over for some cheap grub and, while you're at it, draft beers are $2. Sounds like a solid way to get over hump day to me.
Oh, and the word "taco" can be found in our fair city TACOma's name. Isn't that clever.
By the way, since we're on the taco topic, how the heck do you suppose you eat these? I'm just askin'.

School vibes downtown
Kids gathered up on the corner of Pacific and 21st this morning while parents dropped students off clogging traffic heading up the hill. All are a sign of the bustle that's to come since the first day of school today. I love the life brought by having a partially academic downtown. Although workers downtown need to head out a little early to lunch to beat the student rush it's a small price to pay for the activity. Don't like it? Hit up places like Indochine or the upcoming Two Koi. I'm pretty sure, speaking from my own days as a student, not too many high schoolers or college students have deep enough pockets to afford much more than a burrito or stash of ramen noodles. ;)
Good luck to all the students out there and I hope you enjoy downtown Tacoma! I know I do.
