It's Greek To Me is on the move - you'll find same gyros, just across the street

You won’t have to eat in your car anymore - unless you want to. It’s Greek To Me will move later this year across the street to a location that will have a single digit address change - 1702 Sixth Ave. The new space will triple the dining room of the tiny drive-up stand Jim Wick has operated on the edge of the Sixth Avenue business district for more than 20 years.

  • Finally open: It's Greek To Me in Tacoma moves across the street

    It was just a move across the street - but the details of packing up It's Greek To Me and shuttling it a few hundred feet - overnight - were complex. It required free labor from friends, quickly tearing down and reassembling equipment and as owner Jim Wick put it, working stealthily like "Greek ninjas" through Sunday night into dawn Monday.

  • Habitat for Humanity house in Bellingham breaks new ground for energy efficiency

    Some winter months, Leandra Huante-Garcia and her husband, Jaime Huante, have paid $200 or more to heat the small, old, uninsulated rental house they share with their three children.

    But in a month or so they will move from Ferndale into a new house in Bellingham where they might pay $200 - maybe even as little as $100 - to stay warm for an entire year.

    Their house nearing completion at 2776 W. Indiana St. is being built by Habitat Humanity in Whatcom County. That's the local chapter of the Christian organization that uses donations, fundraising and sweat equity to build homes for needy families. Families help build their house and buy them with just $500 down and 0 percent interest on the mortgage.

  • Gyros invasion: Greek restaurants becoming a lot easier to find around Tacoma

    Gyros come, gyros go. We've seen that happen a lot the last year. Recent restaurant closures include Zara Mediterranean and University Gyros, both in downtown Tacoma, My Greek in Puyallup's South Hill last July, and the closure several months ago of Gyros Place. It seemed as if the closures would drastically reduce our access to gyros, souvlaki and falafal (the horror!). Lucky for diners, when one gyros door closes here, another seems to open. Here's a report about the recent moves and upcoming openings of four Greek restaurants:

  • Traffic Q&A: Traffic lights in Tacoma mostly synchronized

    I seem to get caught at almost every traffic light in Tacoma while trying to drive across town. Does the city not synchronize the lights in an effort to keep traffic moving smoothly?

  • Boise's Building Blocks: River Street, an integrated community in a segregated city

    The River Street neighborhood, one of Boise's oldest, was for decades one of the few places blacks could buy property in the city. Known to some as the wrong side of the tracks, the neighborhood was a place where people of all races mingled in relative harmony.
