"Temporal Terminus: Marking the Line" - a temporary public art exhibit that celebrates the important transformation of the Prairie Line Trail from rail to linear park - opened Saturday, Nov. 12 in downtown Tacoma. On the opening afternoon, the Tacoma Arts Commission, staff from the University of Washington-Tacoma and the artists behind the eight installations accentuating the historic stretch led around 60 people through the outdoor exhibition traversing downtown from South 25th Street to the waterfront. Temporal Terminus will close Nov. 30, 2011. Photography by Pappi Swarner
