A new book called Construction of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, by John Robinson, has just been released. It tells the story of the new span’s construction and has some fantastic pictures of the work as it was in progress. Sounds like it’s right up your alley. Catch an interview with the author on youtube.com.

The bloggers at Tacoma Mama have alerted their readers to a support group for people who are gluten intolerant. Known as celiac disease, this affliction prevents people from eating wheat and other grains that contain gluten. Marlene’s Market and Deli at 2951 S. 38th street has stepped up to offer gluten-free baked goods and other grocery items. If you’re visiting Tacoma, let me know if you have these dietary needs and I’ll help you get pointed in the right direction. If you’re going anywhere else in the world, check out the Celiac Chicks who travel the world looking for celiac-friendly dining experiences and who make being gluten-intolerant look downright fun. If you live here, drop me a line and let me know about other grocery stores or restaurants that offer gluten-free alternatives. I’ll be sure to add your suggestions to this blog.

Cheers,
