by fredo on 9/6/2011 @ 8:30amJesse, I can't speak on behalf of the Elks, but I think you will find that a lot of the old fraternal order organizations from the 1800s are finding it difficult to sustain their missions. Perhaps the Elks organ

by NineInchNachos on 9/6/2011 @ 8:27amThought about recommending folks cancel their Elks memberships in exchange for Knights of Pythias memberships, but then I thought no... Elks just needs an influx of young, progressive types. They wouldn't need to sell off this property if they had a crap load of members. We've rented their big event theater once... so many old folks, the place reeks of apathy/death. The retro 1960's avocado interiors would be popular with the hipsters. I'm inspired to take Fredo's advice an purchase the place myself. Anyone have some money I could borrow?

by Jesse on 9/6/2011 @ 8:09amI hear they need to sell this property for their very survival -- according to the newspaper quotes. That says that the current CEO (or pooh-bah... or whatever) has no long range plan other than raiding assets of previous generations of Elks which is not a sustainable model. When this model of "leadership" finally brings them to the brink of collapse, it's sad the Elks will be remembered not by what they did in the community but by the neighborhood killing empty Elks lodge they abandoned downtown and the legacy of a WalMart.Here's an idea: Instead of raiding assets to survive, the Elks should increase membership and community influence to obtain more dollars.

by fredo on 9/6/2011 @ 7:37amThe Goddess of Commerce is unvielded and she's already working her magic! She's not only bringing a much needed infusion of jobs and commerce in general, she's also making sure that we honor the poor chinese families who may be the descendants of the original Chinese expelled during the 1880s by providing a place for them to offer their goods. And look at the bright side RR, now all those old Elks club people will be gone.

by The Jinxmedic on 9/6/2011 @ 5:59amHmm, this is actually pretty good...

by Thorax O'Tool on 9/6/2011 @ 3:39amClean this up by only having the WM smiley barfing for a poster. That would be effective and a great visual to put as a poster all over town.

by Thorax O'Tool on 9/6/2011 @ 3:38amImpressive, sir. Most impressive.

by NineInchNachos on 9/6/2011 @ 12:43amUPDATE VIA NEW TAKHOMAN... Tacoma City Council candidate Will Baker's thoughts on the council's new six month moratorium on �big box� stores 1. The developer was in the wrong by being cute and should have from the start been upfront about what kind of development is going to be done on the Elk's property. 2. The current City Council is in the wrong by not putting the moratorium on the public agenda so that all citizens of Tacoma could decide if they wanted to testify about the moratorium. (There was no reason not to wait a week to vote on the moratorium except for the fact that it is a Tacoma City Council election year. By the way, do not hold your breath waiting for Toby Nixon or Washington State Auditor Brian Sonntag to complain about this even though they are the big wigs behind the Washington State Open Government Coalition.) 3. Will Baker can not help but notice that it appears that the current City Council plans to postpone every hot button issue until after the election by passing one moratorium after another. (So far, the current City Council has passed a moratorium on digital billboards until after the election. The current City Council has passed a moratorium/asked a committee to advise them later about marijuana. And now, the current City Council has passed a six month moratorium on big box stores with no public notice until after the fact.) 4. Will Baker would like to see the developers keep the park like setting behind the Elk's lodge that runs along Cedar Street to stay a park for the neighborhood to enjoy. *Baker is currently a candidate for City Council At-Large position #8. His opponent is current council appointee Ryan Mello.

If you've ever seen the cult-classic film BAD TASTE, there is a scene where an alien invader, disguised as a human, vomits putrid/lumpy green slime into a bowl which is passed around the room of incognito aliens who hungrily slurp it down until the bowl gets passed to an actual human infiltrator who has to slurp from the vomit bowl or risk being detected as human. This scene made quite an impression on me as a teenager... and those same feelings of spurts through my brain when I think about a .   got the shit end of the Clear Channel Compromise Settlement (most of the Billboards get dumped here) and so now a Walmart is like a on top of the .  You can imagine how Lauren Walker must feel-- is what I'd guess!   I can't believe the Elks would sellout to Wally World. Those folks are supposed to be a BENEVOLENT PROTECTIVE ORDER.  A CALL TO ACTION!  ENLIST TODAY, and learn how you can help sabotage this !  (recommended) Previously
