Bob’s 10 Most Overrated Spokane Experiences:

I was rooting around in The Unbearable Bobness of Being, Bob Salsbury's blog, and found numerous gems -- not the least of which was a Nov. 29 post: "Ten Most Overrated Spokane Experiences," including:

The Spokane River: It’s sort of the sewer line for the mine wastes of the Coeur D’Alene/Silver Valley district. You can eat the fish if you want, of course, you won’t ever need a Zinc supplement for the next 3000 years.

Coeur d'Alene makes the Top 10, but there's no jabs at the Floating Green, Silverwood or the Outlet Mall/old greyhound track. Still, you should enjoy Bob's rant here.
