WHAT WE HAVE FOUND TODAY >>>

Keanu Reeves is 46 today.

Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger's outstanding documentary Restrepo - shot as the filmmakers were embedded with one company over 14 months in the Korengal Valley of eastern Afghanistan - returns to The Grand Cinema Friday. Released as the war in Afghanistan stretches drags on, the film offers a series of moments, some mundane such as digging trenches, building sandbag walls and surveying harsh mountainsides tend to do, and others jarringly singular.

The Tacoma Urbanist asks, "Will the City of Tacoma be able and willing to get parking rates right?" Will a price raise the perceived value of downtown? We'll see.
