Møgg

My Swedish neighbors have a lovely drink called Glögg, we have Gløgg in Norway. So imagine my surprise when I found out there is a Møgg, in Tacoma!

Then, imagine my slight disappointment that getting a nip of MOG was more a visual treat. But a treat nonetheless.

This wonderful tribute to Tacoma's native Dale Chilhuly and the art of glass-blowing, is along the Thea Foss waterway, it started as an idea in 1992, and blossomed into a working hot shop and museum in 2002. Outside, they placed public art works and displays. I hear the waterforest is missed, but may come back ... to the delight of parents as it was the first 'spray park' in this city of destiny.

Here I am waiting for an elevator:


I believe these giant grates are part of the cooling system, but they are artistically presented.



And finally, me outside the hotshop.



I understand that some of the Tacoma Public Libraries may have passes that card holders can check out to attend the museum. Though that could be an old rumor.

While there, I was repeatedly asked (same at the park earlier) if I worked for some sort of travel company. Alas, no, I would be nice to be paid for travel, but now I travel on my own krone.

Until next time,
TacomaGnome

Dear TacomaGnome,

Glad you had a great time at the MOG, and weren't too disappointed. That place is my eldest daughter's FAVORITE. And not just for the hot shop.

One correction to the rumor you heard, the libraries do -- or at least used to -- allow you to check out passes to the Tacoma Art Museum (sorry, TAM isn't a drink either ...), not the Museum of Glass. I could be wrong of course, but I believe that was how it worked -- we checked them out once a couple years ago.

I highly recommend you check out the Tacoma Art Museum as well! They have a great room where you can MAKE art while you're there!

Thank you, chickadee.

Being new to the area I can be prone to errors.

I'm glad the good people of Tacoma can take the time and patience to correct these errors.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin take up real money.
It gets down to select a proper partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the income with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
