Sprayground and Wading Pools, Updated for 2010!

I know it's super late, but here's the Sprayground/Wading Pool map all updated for 2010.

The Wright Park sprayground is a work in progress, and Franklin's update should take place this year. Hopefully, a new sprayground will open there next fall and there won't be any gap between wading pool removal and sprayground installation as there was at Wright.

Platanos Burros

Yeah, that's right. Donkey Bananas.

Gas Station Park (Mystery Park at S 48th and Park Avenue)

Update: The official name is "Gas Station Park" - more on this later.

OK, it's not really a mystery park, but that's what it seemed like when we ran into this bright blue cookie-moster colored park yesterday. Turns out, it was converted from an old gas station through the Health Department's "Brownfields" project and is now being transformed into a playground by the South End Neighborhood Council.

Anahuac Restaurant

Reader Submitted. Thank you!

FYI: Not a recommendation

Here is my blow-by-blow of Anahuac.

The atmosphere was non-existent—actually, insulting. The mock-Mayan pyramid, the fake flowers, the poor sound system.

Thai Hut 2 (2 Good Days in Tacoma)

I said the last Thai food post was the last food post of the year, but looks like I've got one more in me. We were given an Olive Garden gift certificate for Christmas and headed out tonight with the intention of giving that a try, but with a wait time of 40 minutes, we though we'd see what else that particular shopping center had to offer.
