After writing today's story about Dan Dickau opening his barber shop, The Barbers, up by the North Division Y, the only reservation we had is about the former Zag hoop star's listed height.
At his NBA page, Dan is listed at 6 foot 3, 180 pounds.
When I visited Dan at this shop, I was struck by his size. He's not 6-3 and not 180 anymore. Either he's lost weight and height, or those NBA stats were a bit inaccurate.
He does have large hands. He's a good addition, by the way, to Spokane's small business team. Welcome, Dan.

The young folks are happy now that Spokane Valley got an H&M store. Big news there.
Now the rest of the Inland Northwest gets something to celebrate: the opening on Wednesday of the new Dick's Sporting Goods store.
Why is this big? Dick's (we didn't know this before) is the largest U.S.-based full-line sporting goods retailer.
The outdoor retailer's store is also in the Spokane Valley Mall, which has to be happy that it's landed both Dick's and H&M.
The store is hosting a sports celebrity weekend celebration. Former GU hoop stat Blake Stepp will be on hand from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday.
On Sunday, Dan Dickau, another Zag hall of famer, will come by from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A press release noted the Spokane store is the retailer's third in Washington and its 518th nationwide.The Spokesman-Review business team follows economic development in Spokane and the Inland Northwest.
