The Spokane Movie Marathon
Cuba Gooding Jr. is in Spokane again shooting The Hit List. That got me thinking. What other movies have been filmed in Spokane? I knew of a handful, but I haven't been able to see all of them. That, I thought, must change.
In what I consider a very bold move, I decided to hold my ...
Boogity, Boogity, Boogity Let's Go Racing Boys!
We are approaching the one day every man in America has circled on his calendar. That one day full of love, laughter, maybe some tears......and Pennzoil.
Valentine's Day? Heck no. I'm talking Daytona 500, which just happens to be on February 14th this year. (Sorry honey!) For all of ...
Seasons of Love
I really don't get all the negativity surrounding Valentine's Day. What's so sad about chocolate, flowers, hugs, good food, movies, wine, smooching and cuddling? I could keep going but I'll spare you.
I recognize that Valentine's Day assumes a kind of pressure; pressure to get creative, ...
Average Joes to Ski Pros
I have been snowboarding for almost ten years now, but I've always wanted to learn to ski. January happens to be national "Learn A Snow Sport Month," and while I typically try not to be a follower, I figured this was as good excuse as any.
This past weekend three friends ...
Travel Back in Time at The Ski Museum of Spokane
Many Spokane natives remember Lou Lou's - the ski shop on the outskirts of downtown. I sure do. During the winter, it's all I heard about on the radio as a kid. Lou Lou's closed in 2002, but Loulou Kneubuhler has opened up The Ski Museum of Spokane in the same building, and let me tell ...
A Tour on the Mount
Mount St. Michael's....ever heard of it? I hadn't either until about three years ago. In my defense I had seen their huge brick building which is on a bluff that overlooks Northeast Spokane.
Finally, yesterday, some friends and I took a tour of the almost 100-year-old building. ...
Passport to...The Garland District

One of my favorite things to do on the weekend is explore the various quaint neighborhoods we have in Spokane. Most recently I stumbled upon the Garland District which is made up of small, locally owned restaurants, coffee shops and a handful of entertainment venues.
For two solid ...
Square's Santa is the Real Deal
So what if I'm over 50? (Although not by much.) I still believe in Santa and I'll tell you why. There's a certain Santa in Spokane and I'm pretty sure he's the real deal. He's chubby for real. He's actually got white hair and this beautiful silver white beard. ...
Hitting the Ice
Of all the appalling sights to see - an empty cookie jar, a wet, shivering puppy, melted ice cream - dusty ice skates, for me, has to be the worst. That was the sight I laid my eyes on last week....my pair of skates, lying unloved, on the floor at home. It was time to redeem myself.Being ...
Bennidito’s v. David’s – The Great Spokane Pizza Debate
Here's a random fact that you may or may not want to use to impress the opposite sex: There are nearly 70,000 pizzerias in the United States. To be completely honest, I thought that number might be bigger. Of course my view of that number is skewed by the inordinate ...
