BOBBLE TIKI: HOW DO YOU USE A DISTRICT? >>>

In the future, when the super-cool, vaguely disturbing Big Brother Google takes us on a voyeuristic Google Street Views tour of Tacoma’s Brewery District â€" the downtown neighborhood just to the south of the University of Washington Tacoma campus â€" what will we see?

Will it be congestion and parking woes and drunks and random urban demons careening around  smashing windows and exchanging gunfire and peeing on Brewery District stoops?

Or will we see five or six full city blocks carefully preplanned to look like some sort of idyllic "natural" Euro-American village, with benches and grassy areas and trees, 60 shops, 17 restaurants, five movie screens, 12 spas, six four-star hotels, mini-gardens, courtyards, terraces, nice lighting, scented clouds, nose jobs and hot coeds drinking tasty brews in sidewalk cafes?

The City of Tacoma would like to know how you use the Brewery District and what ideas you have for its future. Please click their Survey Monkey to complete the City of Tacoma's online survey. It doesn't bite or scratch and only takes 10 minutes to complete.
