Oh Tacoma, you try so hard! This weekend, Travel Tacoma are really, really hoping to get people to come visit their city with a full on PR blitz at Pioneer Courthouse Square when "100 hand-blown glass coasters from Tacoma will be hidden near 10 local landmarks" and there will be "free giveaways, glassmaking demo by Tacoma artist Carla Bruno from Museum of Glass, and the chance to win travel packages and other prizes."
It sounds nice, it really does. They use the phrase "blown away" twice. They seem so sincere. So we decided to help them by writing out all the possible slogans we could think of to advertise the charms of Tacoma. Feel free to add your own in the comments and keep your eyes out for that hand blown glass.
