{"product_id":"downtown-tacoma-caroline-denyer-gallacci-9781531645984","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 1531645984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531645984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\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 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Caroline Denyer Gallacci","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124577169663,"sku":"9781531645984","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0de2f86a-807c-48b3-9858-1f90a98ed4a8.jpg?v=1687437599","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/downtown-tacoma-caroline-denyer-gallacci-9781531645984","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
