31st & Proctor

Originally uploaded by Doug Klippert

This happened a couple blocks from my house. 31st is lined with many beautiful, old maple trees, and one decided it had enough and flattened the truck parked underneath it.

I found this photo because I follow Flickr’s RSS feed for photos tagged “tacoma”. We walked by this over the weekend and wondered how long it would take to show up on Flickr. :)

Tacoma’s A Riot! Jul 12, 1935

Originally uploaded by B. Nagurski

Forget those Seattleites, forget pithy Olympians, no need for bored Portland youth, when Tacomans want a riot, we know how to throw down!

Someone on Flickr has been uploading a bunch of neat vintage photos from Tacoma. Here’s a particularly interesting one with a neat story, too. Click through on the photo to read about a riot that happened in Tacoma in July 1935.
