Spokane or bust

I'm going to Spokane this weekend.

Facts about Spokane:

• It's the second biggest city in Washington.

• It hosted the 1974 World Expo, and it has THIS bad boy to show for it:

• Bing Crosby grew up there. 

• Its motto is 'Near Nature. Near Perfect.'

• It's mentioned in a disproportionally large number of songs ('Jolene' by Zac Brown Band, 'Swear Your Love'  by Kenny Loggins, 'Still a "G" Thang' by Snoop Dogg, 'My Dwarf is Getting Tired' by Ry Cooder....the list goes on!)

Also, this one, which I've been groovin' to for the past few minutes. I really like it. "Wine, wine, wine..."




Another thing about Spokane is that it's much better than people give it credit for.

TTFN,
Margaret
