Another Tacoman on HN? People in Tacoma know about this website?
Joking aside, you're in the Central District. Sales are hot north of I-5/SR-16 because a lot of the infrastructure up there is being rebuilt. South End is still a high poverty area with not a lot going on. In fact, the only major grocery store south of 56th anymore is the Fred Meyer on 72nd and Pacific Ave (not the best place to visit at night).
As someone who grew up here, Tacoma still has a long way to go.
