{"product_id":"downtown-tacoma-caroline-denyer-gallacci-9780738570020","title":"Downtown Tacoma","description":"In 1873, the Northern Pacific Railroad selected the south shore of Commencement Bay as the terminus of its transcontinental line. Connected to, but independent of the railroad, the Tacoma Land Company created a city adjacent to the terminus. By the early years of the 20th century, downtown Tacoma was the place to go for a wide array of activities from retail shopping and government activity to entertainment. Streetcars, and then automobiles, contributed to the ever-changing vitality of people and place. After the late 1960s, when developers constructed a mall south of the central core, city planners created a new type of urban experience centered on amenities designed to lure tourists and Tacomans alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caroline Denyer Gallacci, Ron Karabaich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0738570028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780738570020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011 pg. 57","brand":"Caroline Denyer Gallacci","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981152518399,"sku":"9780738570020","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a980d29c-37fb-405c-b574-0ff169d62eaf.jpg?v=1683253946","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/downtown-tacoma-caroline-denyer-gallacci-9780738570020","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
