I saw this article at BoingBoing, and had to look it up.
From Wikipedia:
The Aroma of Tacoma, also known as the Tacoma Aroma, is a putrid and unpleasant odor associated with Tacoma, Washington, United States.[1] The smell has been described as similar to the odor of rotten eggs.[2] The odor is not noticeable throughout the city, but is rather concentrated in the Tacoma tideflats and is frequently smelled by motorists traveling that section of Interstate 5.[2]
Tacoma is basically like The place where you get your catalytic converter stolen And no seattleites go there for any reason except maybe to get soul food or attend a rave at the Tacoma dome. Truly the valley the light does not reach lol.
When I visit Tacoma it’s for the McMenamins Elk’s Temple. Shows in the basement, food in one of the restaurants.
Seattleites don’t go to Tacoma because they’re elitists.
We aren’t known for our soul food lol
Yeah you are. Go to Pacific Southern or Southern kitchen sometime
Neither place has good soul food. Southern Kitchen’s fried chicken is bland, dry, and depressing.
Tacoma’s food scene largely revolves around pizza and burgers. We’ve got some great Vietnamese food as well.
