For Sale: Merlino Art Center

It's been on the market for awhile. While other organizations hold off on publishing prices: ethics, getting the facts straight, or maybe it's not "newsworthy". We, here at Tacoma Gossip, don't think any news is not worthy of print.

Merlino Art Center, you know the one were you can drop your daughter off at ballet class, run downstairs and enjoy a movie at the Grand or a delectable from Corina's Bakery, well it's up for sale. What, may you ask, is the asking price? A cool 4.65 million. Word is there might be a bit of construction and remodeling if you needed to change it.

I would jump on this worthy investment but I just spent my 5 million on buying a small island nation that I outsource all my work to.

As always, take it with a grain of salt!

Urban Tanning

Things are really cooking up over the Urban Tanning unexpected closing. It appears to be a mixed consensus over the owner and whose fault it really is for the closing. But, here's the story from a customer who purchased 2/3 of a $300 package:

when walking in to pay the last $100, she found the placed boarded up and called the number. What she was told was that everything had been smashed inside, including the computers, so as to lose all business records. The owner skipped town without paying all the employees. The package couldn't be honored, but she could get refunded for the portion that was put on a credit card...as for the $100 in cash, no luck. No Paperwork = No Refund. Any truth to this by other customers?

As always, take it with a grain of salt.
