oneanddone on Survey finds Idaho best place for starting a business; Washington 43rd on May 22 at 3:20 p.m.
Idaho is great for small “minimum wage” businesses because the taxpayer pays for their countless tax breaks. If hiring costs are high, it’s only because they’re continually retraining employees because of the turnover due to the miserable pay.
polistra on Did anyone care Texas flip-meister presenter had 'F' rating from the BBB? on May 19 at 4:24 a.m.
Picture is interesting. Except for the one tall guy by the movie screen and one female at the left, the whole crowd consists of males in a remarkably narrow range of ages and sizes. You rarely see that much uniformity among a hundred random people.
jillkipnis on Realtor.com finds Spokane home sales up, but not as fast as in Seattle and Boise on May 17 at 10:24 a.m.
Thanks for writing about the Realtor.com report. Spokane’s real estate data trends were similar to what we are seeing on a national basis: steady median list price, decreasing inventory, and a faster-moving market.

Dazzeetrader1980 on Airway Heights formally approves annexation of Spokane Tribe's STEP land on May 12 at 11:29 p.m.
These hayseeds and hillbillys are selling their souls to the Indians for some trickets. In DC, some went to visit the Paentagon to talk tot he AF. They are as good as GONE if this casino gets funded and cuilt. I cannot blame them. They were very clear that the one thing that forced a pullout of the AF is encroachment by the locals.
Airway heights is going for something that’ll be gone when the AF pulls out. The city, the county, etc…gsi…..none of them want this thing. It’ll be interesting to watch Spokane wither without the base. And you can blame the self centered Indians….and the AIrway Heights City Council.
They think of themselves only when it’s the region that will suffer. Once gone, the AF never returns. It’s a big blow if this silly casino is approved.

Sometimes old = historic.
Sometimes old= piece of crap.
JBlim on Spokane's Trader Joe's opens, while the popular chain considers going upscale on May 04 at 6:56 a.m.
Really don’t want Californication? You could have had Envision Spokane, folks. Trader Joe’s? Uh OK. Wal Mart? Eh, no thanks.
