This month we start right at the top - the North Pole.
Poor Santa Claus is feeling stressed and Mrs. Santa recommends a trip to their favorite spot - The Sixth Avenue Neighborhood. Listen, it's no more unlikely than that Tim Allen thing.

On a whirlwind tour of the neighborhood we visit some of the Sixth Avenue's 14 restaurants and 130 businesses that are within the 6 blocks we visit. A big treat was our visit with Charlie McManus at El Primo where Charlie showed us how to grill Swordfish. Nobody does it like Charlie - and he gives lots of tips, too.

Artists are invited to submit paintings for the important Tall Ships Art Show which will take place this summer in Tacoma. We learned about it on My Home Town. You can learn about it at Rainierleagueofarts.com

Two excellent and creative schools in the Sixth Avenue Neighborhood are the Grant School of the Performing Arts and Jason Lee Middle School.

Jason Lee is the only middle school in the area - and the only one we know of - that has a hot shop for creating glass art works. These beautiful works are sold in the gift shop at the school.
