Summertime Blues
It's hard to believe it's September already. Yep, those lazy days on the lake are coming to an end. My camping gear has made its way to the top of that dusty garage shelf and hosing off the last bits of sand from my tires is still on my never-ending to-do list. There's that annoying ...
The Brain Freeze Tour
I remember hearing the sound of the ice cream truck driving through my neighborhood as a kid. I remember racing inside to dig up a dollar bill or two, just in time to catch the truck as it drove by my house. I remember how excited I was over the simple pleasure of an ice cream sandwich. ...
A Day with the Kids
I've recently seen the signs in stores across the area. You know, the signs every kid wants to throw a box of crayons at: BACK TO SCHOOL SALE! So, in honor of children everywhere, here's an itinerary for you - the parent - to follow when you come to Spokane for that last getaway before ...
Our FAM-tastic Week!
Last week was our annual FAM Tour. What is FAM, you ask? It's a week where we invite travel writers from all over the country to join us in exploring everything Spokane has to offer in hopes they help us promote Spokane as a destination to fellow travelers. (Hard to believe they pay us ...

The Other Golf Game
The Grateful Dead, The Boondock Saints and Disc Golf. Not three things you'd normally see bunched in the same sentence. But trust me, they have one thing in common that keeps them alive: a strong cult-like following (I like two out of the three. I'm not one of those Dead Heads).
Some ...
Firework Frenzy!
When I think of Independence Day, I think of fireworks. As a child, my family would pile in the car and drive to Lake Roosevelt to watch the sky light up. I remember lying on a blanket in the grass with my dad, watching the brilliant array of colors dance above us while the banging ...
Secrets of Spokane
It seems to me that every city has its own interesting history and surprising trivia. Boston has Babe Ruth. Chicago has deep-dish pizzas. San Francisco has Alcatraz. So I can't help but ask the question: "What about Spokane?" Sure, we are known for our clock tower, the funky ...
