Tacoma Mosaic

I've been neglecting

the Gritty City.

Maybe this will help make up for my absence.

Tacoma Film Festival

The Tacoma Film Festival kicks off this week.

Opening night October 7

at Annie Wright School.

The brainchild of The Grand Cinema

my favorite theater in the whole wide world.

Older Sister

Annie Wright School,
founded in 1884,
is the big sister to Tacoma's
Charles Wright Academy.

Annie Wright was founded as a school for young ladies.
It's now coed for younger students,
but the high school still is populated only by young women.

Charles Wright, which opened in the 1950's,
began as a school for boys
(the brothers of those Annie Wright girls),
but now Charles Wright is coed
from preschool through high school.
