I observed a group of people forming up at the Lakewood Towne Center across from Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

Westside Story – Stop Rezoning of Gravelly Lake Drive
As I understand it, our Washington State Growth Management Act is putting pressure on city officials to come up with ideas and changes in order for our city to become compliant with Growth Management requirements. That is understandable. Our planning commission has come up with an idea that might well help in that regard related to the rezoning of a large tract of land on Gravelly Lake Drive SW. I get that. Our city council is set to vote on the proposal in December 2015.
Westside Story – Ghost Writer
have never been much of a believer in ghosts, haunted buildings or the paranormal. I have to tell you, this past Halloween season may have made a convert out of me.
Take a close look at my two photos. Do you see what I see?
Westside Story – Tillicum Goes to Pot

Westside Story – Trick or Treat
Hey everybody, I have included two fun photos of scenes I found in our community. I share them with you as a reminder that Saturday, October 31, 2015, is Halloween. Kids will be roaming all over our community looking for Halloween treats. I know you know that. You also know to be extra careful when driving so as to not run over a trick or treater. Hitting a child with a car will ruin our days for a long time to come, regardless of who’s fault the collision might be.
Westside Story – Starbucks Name Change
I loved Starbucks for over 25 years, traveling to what was known as the 3rd Place twice a day anywhere I might be located all over the world. Howard Schultz successfully imported an idea from Europe and perfected his dream he called the 3rd Place.
Westside Story – Relax at the Beach
While we are all a part of the same USA, we do not all behave the same. For instance on the West Coast we call soft drinks pop. On the East Coast they call soft drinks soda.
Westside Story – Uncle Melvin’s Bike
My photo of Uncle Melvin’s bike gives new meaning to the word recycling. I have shown you this bike before in different seasons including winter when it was covered with snow. I thought you might enjoy the bike in its current state.
