MOTHERF****R! >>>
MSM Deli II got a new front door for Mother's Day. Like a car-sized one. It was a regular, frantic Sunday evening when a fairly regular customer drove her car through the generally non-descript storefront at 2220 Sixth Ave., interrupting dinner and showering the wine aisle with concrete, dust and glass. No one was injured says owner Jamal Muthala. And the driver was sober.
"It was obvious she hit the gas instead of the brake," says Muthala, who didn't have a damage estimate yet, but said they had insurance that would cover repairs. "This wasn't how I planned to spend my Mother's Day."
Muthala was a couple well-earned shots deep at Masa when he got the call. His brother dropped the buzzkill - a reportedly insuranceless driver had made a new front door during the dinner rush. Muthala and friends - the self-ascribed "Wolf Pack" - built a temporary wall while customers ate sandwiches. Ironically, says Muthala, the woman that put her car through the wall is the offspring of man who drove his car through the MSM storefront eight years ago. The woman received a citation from Tacoma PD and was sent on her way.
"Their mother buys a lot of Lotto tickets," Muthala says. "I can't really even be mad. That woman's been coming here since I was like 12."
MSM will remain open while repairs are made. So head down there and buy a sandwich.
