DO YOU KNOW YOUR TACOMA HISTORY ... AND LOVE FOOD? >>
Foodcaching is a new smart phone app alerting customers of awesome food deals at 15 restaurants in the greater Tacoma area. You may download the app for free on your iPhone and Android here.
The Weekly Volcano teamed up with Foodcaching for the True Tacoman game. For the last two months on Spew, we posted Tacoma history trivia provided by the Washington State History Museum. If you knew the answer, you ran to one of the 15 participating restaurants, came clean with answer and received points on your Foodcaching app, which you downloaded free here.
The person with the most points by Dec. 31, 2011 will be crowned the True Tacoman and be flooded with various food prizes.
We have hundreds of folks tally up the scores and will announce the winner soon.
Friday's True Tacoman trivia answer
Before we announce the winner of the True Tacoman game, we must come clean with the answer to the final question of the game, which we posted Friday. We asked:
Annie and Fanny are:
- A) A double drink served at the Tacoma Hotel in the 1940s;
- B) Two statues at the north end of Wright Park named for Annie Wright and Fannie Paddock;
- C) Nicknames of the wives of Chief Marcelles Spot.
You spent the last days of the game telling the restaurants listed below Annie and Fanny are the two statues at the north end of Wright Park named after Annie Wright and Fannie Paddock – and, thereby you scored points on the Foodcaching app.
Stay tuned for the announcement of the True Tacoman champion.
Oh, you can download the free app here.
