Tacoma East Side to Obtain Neighborhood Coffee Shop
North Downtown Tacoma has Blackwater Cafe which has served as a central meeting place for the planning of many downtown activities as well as the nucleus of the Tacoma Blogosphere for much of the last two years.
But what about East Tacoma?
Fear not. East Tacoma is about to have their very own "Neighbors Coffee" open in the next few weeks. Here is a U tube clip via Scott Fontaine about the soon to be open coffee shop on McKinley Hill that Miguel Flores and Chris Woods are putting together. Nice work Scott.
Here's a chance for the East Side to have another stronghold to acheive their neighborhood goals. See also McKinley Hill Businesss District
