RON SWARNER: LABOR DAY WEEKEND IN TACOMA >>>

Spending Labor Day weekend enjoy the sights, sounds, tastes and smells from our own backyard:

Grittyshoot-T-shirt Sonja Clothes to Live In
2701 N. 21st St., Tacoma, 253.272.1565

Hours this weekend: Today 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Eight years ago Tacoman Sonja Silver â€" "Fed up with potshots from the media" aimed at her beloved Tacoma â€" created her infamous “Gritty Tacoman” T-shirts. Her definition of "gritty" means: courageous, brave and plucky â€" which accurately describes the City of Destiny’s prideful locals. She sells the shirts â€" for women, men, children and dogs â€" out of her North Tacoma store Sonja Clothes to Live In for $18.

It's the perfect shirt to wear during your Labor Day weekend adventures in Tacoma.

Bonus: Now through Oct. 3, $3 from every Gritty Tacoman T-shirt sold will go to Heart Walk.
