1. Dick's Hamburgers

2. Centennial Trail
Hit the road jack, and I bet you'll be back!

Besides the good coffee and usual baked goods, The Shop has quickly became more than just a neighborhood destination.…More »
5. AMC River Park Square 20
This is my favorite place to see a flick. I think it's the comfy high back seats that make the difference. Its called AMC 20 - since there's suppose to be 20 theaters on three floors. I call BS on this one. I haven't counted, but if you look at…More »
6. Riverfront Park
A river runs through it. Riverfront Park is truly the heart and soul of Spokane. This is where Spokanites gather for great city events such as Bloomsday, Hoopfest, Pig out in the Park and to watch fireworks on the 4th of July.

WA WI (16)Where to to be a washington wino |
Decks I adore (14)Dining el fresco is my fave. My friends pretty much know if the weather permits, which I'll try to convince them of, I choose where I want to go by whether or not we can be seated outside. Decks, Patios, docks, bistro tables streetside, or a picnic in the park all work for me. Here's where you'll find me...Here's some of my favorites: Luna - South Hill Lindamans's - South Hill Clinkerdaggers - downtown Anthony's - downtown CI Shenanigians - downtown Twigs - South Hill Bin 98 - North BeachHouse - Cda Cedars Floating Restaurant - Cda Arrow Point - Cda I'll work hard at review these shortly. The job thing is getting in the way again. |
Be a Part of Art! (3)Imagine life without Art. No don't, that's just too sad.In case you were wondering, prints of Art are our and suppporting original Artists is so very in. |
Coffee Buzz (15)Favorite indy coffee houses.Fourbucks, Charbucks though I still occasionally will stop in, due to you being a WA. company and conveniently scattered all over town. New indy coffee shops with personality and YES better coffee getting my attention and more and more of my business. Here's where I suggest you go to get your fix in and around the 509. . |
