ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it. Tacoma needs help. The only thing that has been allowed to be built in the mixed use centers have been low density high rises and strip malls since the 1960s.
Nearly all of the attractive and working parts of the neighborhoods was built before WWII. After that time, we have built 38th Avenue and the end of 6th Avenue.
