A look at local web happenings in Tacoma, Pierce County and South Puget Sound
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Hopefully you have been following the blog-influenced local movement to "Take Back Frost Park." [See Tacoma Urbanist for details.] It's significant in the evolution of how vibrant online communities can exert power in the offline (some would call it "real") world. Andrew Fry had a nice post on this yesterday, tying in the work of Howard Rheingold with last week's Mark Zuckerberg interview-debacle that has been the buzz of the tech blogospher for days now. Fry called the local movement "an excellent example of social organization through like minded individuals through blogs."
It's not the first example and certainly won't be the last.

Thanks for the post.
The Frost Park event is held every Friday at noon in downtown Tacoma at the corner of Pacific Avenue and 9th Street.
Lately, there has been a chalk art contest every week.
