A proper adventure #3. Little Fox revisits the McMenamins Tacoma Elks Club

Back in 2018 I had a chance to explore the uncompleted Mcmenamins Elks Temple in Tacoma, Washington (yep, another Grit City adventure).

Check out my blog from that trip for the before pictures.
Kudos to team Mcmenamins.  The Elks Temple was decorated by street artists when it was abandoned for a number of years.  In the remodel team Mcmenamins located some of the street artists who tagged the original building and had them do some art in the remodeled building.   This hallway is cool.
They have decorated the lobby.  You can see this post is outdated by the pumpkin. 
Tacoma might by known as the Grit City because of it's reputation as a bustling seaport along the west  coast.   Perhaps it's know as the Grit City because of the many paper mills that used to be in the city.   
They have done a great job remodeling.
They have  tiki bar with a fountain inside. This fox needs a beer.
Cool lighting.  Time for another drink.
Besides the graffiti art they have paid homage to the Native American artists of the region. 
The ballroom is awesome.  They have a bar, a stage, and some cool lights.
As we know stuffies don't have a lot of patience but I am waiting for the show to start. 

More of the graffiti hallway.

I can't figure out why I am having a hard time standing. 

This fox is out for the count.    

When is my uber coming?
