The Spovangelist

By The Apostate On a night like tonight is it easy to be concerned about air quality in Spokane. Yet irritants and toxins are often lurking in other unsuspecting parts of nature, such as our soil and water, as a direct result of human activity. With all of this valid concern about dangerous chemicals in the environment, it [...]

Some women just turn heads. The way this lady strutted down the street was enough to make me stop at the bike intersection of death to take her picture. Mural (background) by Tom Quinn Spokane is in a peculiar place where style cycles have sped up to where they are lapping our lag in following [...]

There is a new bar on 2nd and Cedar called the Kick Ass Saloon. Apparently the owners thought it too offensive to display the word “Ass” on their signage, so a Ren and Stimpy style donkey with obscenely large testicles takes its place. Make of it what you will.

There is a lot of excitement over the new University District, but like a lot of things in this town it is kind of a kludge.  As great as it would be there is no going back to create a longstanding Spokane State. Imagine what this place would be like if we could magically squeeze [...]

We took a bike ride up to Worley, Idaho yesterday, and I saw this beautiful thing. Since I grew up in a Catholic family where nobody was naked – EVER, the whole concept of a family nudist resort makes me a little uncomfortable. Make of it what you will.

Maybe I’m exposing my own ignorance here, but what on earth is this White Park that shows up in Google maps? Clearly “Gloven Field” is incorrect (it is supposed to be Glover Field) but White Park is news to me. Spanning much of the land that is slated for eventual development by Greenstone, we wonder [...]

If you like the smell of the forest freshly covered in dew on a crisp morning during a camping trip, then you will like the smell of a worm bin. Yes, that is right. A bin full of slimy, wriggling little red worms is worth a whiff or two. Vermicomposting is a recent hobby of [...]

When I first spotted this garment in an attempt to find a picture of the Boo Radley’s “Can” T-shirt, I wondered if someone had picked up on my idea to create a Spokane Alumni Society. It would be a fun way to network former residents and enlist them as civic ambassadors and business connections between [...]

Imagine how creeped out you would feel if you woke up, checked your email, and received a Google Alert for a profile of yourself that you never created? Then imagine if someone pretended to be your blog. Even weirder, right? Duplicate profile names happen all the time, but actual impersonation takes it to a whole [...]
