The Slice

Comparing Spokane and Woodstock festival

It's said that Woodstock's attendance peaked at more than 400,000.

See photo: https://www.google.com/search?q=Woodstock&biw=1600&bih=1075&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiFo5LJ8sPOAhUeHGMKHft_CRoQ_AUIBigB#imgrc=I9Gr8mlHHML8pM%3A

That is in the same ballpark as Spokane's metro population. See photo: http://media.spokesman.com/photos/2012/01/27/SRX_MATTHEW_MODINE_19377397.JPG

So it seems fair to compare. But I'll let you make the call on these.

Which had/has better restroom facilities?

Which had/has a denser concentration of people saying "man"?

Which had/has more people experiencing bad acid trips?

Which could be said to be a city built on casseroles?

Which had/has a higher percentage of people who cared about lawn upkeep?

Which had a better song written about it?

Which had/has the more intriguing free love policy?

What other areas of comparison come to mind?
