I’d love to see a similar historical comparison of Bantz Boulevard / Cheney Stadium area and the myriad of configurations that 19th Street has endured over the years. I’ve lived in the area since the early 60s and I remember quite a progression. The idea of leveling what is in that Cheney Stadium, Heidelberg, Foss, Metro Parks, Boy Scouts area and turning it into more condos is appalling. Something has to be saved.

It really makes you realize how small Tacoma is. If the furthest extent of the city in 1950 was Nalley Valley, you realize that most of the land in the southern and eastern portions of the city were developed after this time, during the period of mass suburbanization in America. Most of Tacoma is suburban. Just because it is within the city limits of Tacoma does not make it urban: it is suburban in look, feel and nature.

No joke, RR. What a nightmare. Can we start over and try again?
