McMenamin’s in Elks Temple? I’ll drink to that

CENTRALIA, Lewis County – Excuse me, please, while I sip Black Rabbit Red wine.
Mmm. A black peppery overtone, yet velvety smooth. Just as I remember it.
Now, where was I?
Oh, yes. The beginning.
I want to tell you a true tale with an ending not yet written. And to get into the storytelling spirit, I came here – 52 miles south of Tacoma – to The Olympic Club for a Communication Breakdown Burger, private-label red wine and Hogshead Whiskey Break Pudding. Why?
Three and a half years ago, when The News Tribune hired me for this column-writing gig, I set three primary goals:
• Be constructively insightful.
• If I can’t be constructively insightful, be entertaining.
• Persuade the McMenamin brothers of Portland to bring one of their signature brewpub, theater, music venue, hotel establishments to Tacoma.
I’ll start working on those first two soon. But the third has never gotten this close to coming true.
