JimmyMAC (re: Outsiders & Coeur d'Alene politics): IMHO- one of THE best parts about living in CDA Area is the proximity to Spokane and if I lived in Spokane I was probably say the opposite to be just as true. My wife and I absolutely love going to Spokane on Fridays or Saturdays. Let me count the ways I love Spokane: Nordstroms, GU Basketball, Riverfront Park, Mobius, Manito Park, Spokane CC, Clover, Milford's, Spencer's, concerts at Memorial Arena, Pig Out, Hoopfest, Davenport Tower, Bistangos, Franks Diner, Dr. Robins, The Opera House, all of the business I do with Spokanites, etc etc etc. Love love love living in North Idaho but it wouldn't be nearly as great without the short trip to Spokane to the West. Sorry John, there is just no reason to bag on Spokane as it is a compliment to our area, not a threat.

Question: What do you appreciate most about Spokane?
