I heard about this! My gf told me about it. I wish I had some video of that fireball... I know exactly where Atlas Castings is, too. I drove by there pretty much everyday this summer. Crazy...
Too bad it couldn't have been in the hill top area and cleaned out all the drug dealers and prostitues...
I love how you immediatly know what toy store I speak of. no. lots of Saturn imports though, and a saturn for only $45...
oh yeah! they've got the best prostitutes! also some pretty good crack rock... during the day you can see the crackheads scurry back and forth between various run down motels.... they make a sound sorta like "chickachickachickachicka" while scurrying.
Had a friend that lived there for a little bit. She moved after a pimp or dealer beat down the door one away from hers and beat the crap out of someone.
Once you go past St. Joes, it all goes to hell. Oh, what is this store you're talking about? Is it in downtown Tacoma?
no, it's a ways south down Pacific Avenue. Out towards McChord AFB and Mt. Rainier... That direction. It's off Pacific and Military Rd. I believe...
