I briefly dated a girl who lived there back around 2009. I didn’t realize the neighborhood was Hilltop until she told me. Total gentrification.huskyhooligan said:Worked with a guy who lived on M street, who noted the M stood for Murder. Next few months a dead body was found in the alley behind his place and a cousin was murdered. It's changed a lot but still some interesting happenings up there, but it seems mostly homeless related.

Found the setlist from that night. Andy died about 4-6 weeks later.

First child was born at St. Joe's Hospital on Hilltop. Drove through there frequently on the way to lamaze class. Summer time, heard a pop pop pop and thought we were gonna die in a shootout. Turned out to be firecrackers (thanks, @Swaye ) Scared the living shit out of me.huskyhooligan said:Worked with a guy who lived on M street, who noted the M stood for Murder.

The late 80's/early 90's in T-Town were tuff.

Lived just outside the Hilltop near Wright Park in 91 & 92. As I was moving in a bunch of DEA agents were searching all the garbage cans in the alley. Second night I was there, somebody did a "two-to-the-hat" on a young kid in the McDonald's parking lot. Kid died. Thieves got away with all of $5. Tacoma was a fucking mess back then. Way, way better today.

Have a tear gas canister explode within ten feet of you during a riot in Quebec City and then have the newspaper lie about you in a front page story two days later and then pop offRaceBannon said:Live within earshot of gunshots at Henderson and Rainier in the 90s and then pop off
