Spokane in the imagination

In the course of exchanging emails with a friend who lives in a distant state, I mentioned riding my bike to work. I noted that it was not a long trip, maybe about four miles.

I should note that he has never been to Spokane.

Anyway, when he wrote back, he approvingly noted that I must live in the “inner city.”

Something tells me he imagines Spokane is a bit bigger than it really is.
