The Weekly Volcano has teamed up with Foodcaching for the True Tacoman game. Every Tuesday and Friday right here on Spew, we post a Tacoma history trivia provided by the Washington State History Museum.

We'll be running the True Tacoman trivia game through the end of the year.

Tuesday we asked what Olympics did Tacoman Kaye Hall win the Gold medal. You spent the last three days telling the restaurants listed below it was the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City – and, thereby, you scored points on the Foodcaching app. It was an easy task – a lot easier than swimming the backstroke.

Today is Friday, which means we post another trivia question as part of the True Tacoman contest.
