BECAUSE WE KNOW YOU CARE >>>

In April 2009, while throwing back a BBC sandwich in MSM Grocery & Deli II's parking lot, we snapped a shot of MSM's fucked up sign (see above). We added it to our hugely popular Spew photo series "Miss Takes."

Since then, MSM II won the Sandwich Smackdown, and nabbed "Best Food on the Run" and "Best Sandwich" in the Best of Tacoma Readers' Poll for 2009, 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Last August, driving past MSM II on Sixth Avenue, we snapped another shot of the sign. MSM II management and staff didn't let fame go to their heads. They were still keeping it real.

Today, driving past the beloved MSM II, we snapped another shot of the sign. MSM II is still too busy making awesome sandwiches to deal with their sign. There's a bit more space between the "D" and "E," and by some miracle the "I" is still hanging on.

See you back here in six months for an update.
