Valentine’s Day is on its way and so we thought we’d get a head start with some loving on the city.
Is Spokane Pride like generic civic pride in any other place, or do we have extra reason (WARNING: link to mostly inaccurate and infuriating stereotypes) to articulate our affection? Why do we compulsively jump to Spokane’s defense at the slightest slight? What compels people to declare their love for our little city? Is Spokane truly lovable, potholes, poverty and all?

I continue to be a bit mesmerized by your playful exploration of Spokane via the internet. It’s really quite fun.
I like that I can bike or walk just about everywhere in Spokane. Actually I can bike and walk everywhere. It might take a little longer to go someplaces, but thats okay.
There is a strong sense of civic pride in Spokane. Maybe it’s a defense mechanism. But a lot of us are trying to build something. We live here. By choice. And living here, we see what is happening in Spokane for better and for worse, and we speak to such things with a vested interest in the city’s improvement and survival.
