Another announcement of such cultural and social significance it needs no annotation. If you are *at all* interested in local live music, you’ve probably heard murmurings of what’s been brewing at the Junction… Sometimes people don’t realize what is in their own back yard: 1801 W. Sunset :: Browne’s Addition :: Spokane, WA Full in [...]

Tuesday I went through all the rigamarole of signing in for a badge to attend a meeting at City Hall.

Today I take these two themes and mash them into one to share [...]
