Want to learn more about how we created the app for our walking tour of Tacoma’s Japantown? Come to CR:T (Conversations Regarding Tacoma) at 1120 Creative House (950 Pacific Ave Suite #300, Tacoma WA 98402) on Thursday, November 9th, 6:30-8PM.
Here’s the event description:
“10 slides x 10 minutes with speakers who create Tacoma as their own. This fast-paced, fun event wraps up the series this year highlighting various Tacomans who strive to create this city as their own. Each speaker will have 10 minutes and 10 slides to show you how they understand what it means to be Tacoma. Come hear about how your friends and neighbors see this gritty city, and follow their journeys of making it their own.”
We’ll be doing a short presentation called “Taking Tacoma’s Japantown Online.” Other friends will be presenting their visions of (and for)Tacoma, including the CultureShock Collective, and it should be an exciting night!
Here’s our bio for the event:
