Love those old pictures of Spokane. Interesting to see how so much has changed, yet also nice to see how much we have kept our history in tact in Spokane also.

If only we saved the grand Train Station and today had the ability to connect Lightrail down to it. Build the park around instead of destroying it all but the clock tower.

These “Then and Now ” studies are superb! Jesse and Blair are to be appaulded! History is always sold short and the architecture in Spokane is not to be overlooked! The house study was a delightful romp down memory lane and I loved the shot of the folks gathered on the steps and then the same shot with the steps empy…that feeling of who lived there , and the fingerprints left, I loved it all! Great work! Keep it up! This paper has tremendous talent!
