I've got a confession to make, Tacoma. I've been here (off-and-on) for 20 years now, and somehow it's never occurred to me to use the Museum of Glass as the setting for one of the world's "most inappropriate tourist photos."

What's that? It hasn't occured to you either? Don't worry - the internet has you covered. 

Tacoma's isn't called out by name, but any T-Towner who happens to click through HappyPlace.com's list of "12 of the most inappropriate tourist photos ever taken" will instantly recognize the setting for number 11.

A quick Google search for, ahem, Museum of Glass (minus the "Gl") Tacoma reveals that the couple featured weren't the only ones to figure out the joke.

Peruse the list at your own risk - they are, as promised, inappropriate.

What do you think, Tacoma?

This video's been making the rounds of the internet this week, landing everywhere from eBaum's World to Fail Hero.

In it, you may have surmised from the clip's title, a hapless sports reporter appears unable to pronounce "Tacoma."

The anchor is Damany Lewis of KCRA Sacramento, and based on the internet fame he's growing, he hasn't been having a very good week.

Our favorite YouTube comment so far comes courtesy of "supastudmuffen."

"Could have saved himself with 'boom goes the dynamite.'"

Forbes Magazine put out a list last week of "America's most overpriced cities."

And, Tacoma came in at number 15. No, really.

The magazine says its list was calculated based on housing affordability, the cost-of-living index generated by Sperling’s Best Places, median salaries for those with a bachelors degree or higher, and the unemployment rate.Los Angeles took the top spot, joined on the list by other notably pricey cities, including Miami, Fla., Honolulu, Hawaii, New York, and ... Tacoma.

We also beat out Portland and San Francisco, which nabbed spots 16 and 19 on the list.

According to Forbes, Tacoma's cost of living index is 116, placing it above cities like Miami and El Paso. Cities whose index ranks above 100 are places where the cost of goods is higher than the national average.

What do you think, Tacoma? Are we paying too much for life in T-Town?

Forbes certainly thinks so.
