Identity is a big concern for any municipality looking to lure visitors who will come and spend their dollars (and not just on drugs). I remember years ago how much time the city’s top tourism boosters frittered away to come up with what they believed would be the perfect commerce-evoking sentiment in a brand-new Spokane slogan. Once the wine was gone, however, they lost interest and settled on “Near Nature, Near Perfect,” probably so they could all go home and sleep it off. Today, alas, Spokane’s appeal has apparently suffered a major civic setback due to a couple of zombies who are being accused of uttering horrible defamatory things about my hometown. Sorry. I meant actors in a television show about zombies/Doug Clark, SR. More here.

Question: What is your favorite monster genre: werewolves, Frankenstein, zombies, Dracula, Godzilla, etc.?
