Think you're stressed? Tacoma, Wash., residents have it worst of all.
http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/nation/7688004.htm

More nerve-racking than New York, more vexing than Vegas, this port city of 195,000 is a new survey's pick for the nation's most stressed-out big city.

In a survey based on divorces, suicide rates and other factors, Tacoma topped the list of stressful cities - followed by Miami, New Orleans, Las Vegas, New York City, and Portland, Ore.

Philadelphia ranked 49th, Wilmington 52d and Scranton-Wilkes-Barre 90th in stress among the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas.

Tying for the least stressful cities were the tri-city areas Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle in Pennsylvania and Albany-Schenectady-Troy in New York.

I think we all need to keep our eyes on any Tacoma DUers. Mabye we could team up and take 8-hour shifts to watch them every 24 hours.

2. Used to live in Seattle, and I always thought Tacoma was a pretty
city. Maybe I was wrong.

It must be the rain.

3. I think it's a beautiful town.
A little gritty, and stinky sure. But it's got great character.
