As a long-time South Sounder who loves to dine out, I struggle with con?icting goals. I want to eat well, but can't afford to patronize luxury establishments every week. Fast food is cheap, but I hate the nausea and regret I feel half an hour later. One of my best

It goes without saying that the World Famous Bob's Java Jive is a thing of beauty. Sure, it's grimy beauty, the kind of beautiful thing that also features a trough to piss in, but it's beautiful nonetheless. Tacoma's most legendary dive bar has been home to decades of iconic bands

I hate Jane Austen. Yeah, I said it. It may shock some of you to hear this, but early 19th century romantic British literature just isn't my cup of tea. (Rimshot!) I don't think Jane Austen's a bad writer or that there's anything inherently wrong with her literary genre. It's
