Olympia Time #2: Tumwater Roads (or how I-5 really didn’t kill Tumwater’s downtown)

Here’s the new zine:

Mostly like the first issue I put out, this is generally a collection of the posts I just did about Tumwater. But, there is some new material as well to tie it together.
When I put it together, I did it in a manner so it could be printed out and then folded in half, stapled and then read. So, keep that in mind after you take a look at your downloaded version.
The downloadable version is also pretty choppy because of its scanned nature. If you want a clean version, taken directly from the scissor cut and paste master, just let me know, and we’ll arrange me getting one to you.

Olympia Time #1: Welcome to Olympia

And, its about metonymic use of the term Olympia to mean “Washington State government.” Wow, big surprise, bet you can’t wait to read this one.

Elaine Nelson was kind enough to write a short introduction, basically so I could say at least one other person shares by pet peeve enough to claim it in print.

And, yes, a lot of what’s in there is already here on my blog under the metonymy of Olympia tag.

You can download the file here and print your own copy or just read it in the window below. I’m trying to find an easy way for folks to order their own printed copy, but I’m having some technical issues.

And, please, if you see any dumb typos, just let me know. I’ll correct them and post a new version.
