Love it.
The Stranger recently interviewed Neko Case about her youth in Tacoma (onetime home to yours truly) and Seattle:
For a stretch, she lived down the street from the Frisko Freeze in Tacoma. She raves about the cheeseburgers and fries, but recounts that they didn’t employ women, at least when she used to eat there on a regular basis before moving away in 1994. She explains, “I actually asked for a job once, and they told me to my face, ‘We don’t hire women.’ I almost put on a corset and took to the streets! Burger suffrage! Weird. They have a shrimpwich, but I dare not taste it.”
Thanks to Megan for the tip.
