Merchandiser’s Message: ‘Spokane Doesn’t Suck’

“Spokane Doesn’t Suck” is far from the best thing Derrick Oliver could say about his adopted hometown. The 31-year-old Texas transplant would rather tell people about The Bartlett’s upcoming concert schedule or his plans for Terrain, the eighth annual art extravaganza scheduled for the first Friday in October. But it’s hard to fit all that on a T-shirt, and Oliver is in the business of T-shirts. He’s raised $6,000 (and counting) on Kickstarter to make shirts, prints and stickers emblazoned with “Spokane Doesn’t Suck” – a rejoinder to the all-too-common teasing he hears from people who live in other cities in the Northwest/ Rachel Alexander , SR.
