On Spokane
Categories: Travel
It's my third full day in Spokane and I am getting a little tired of it. It's not bad, per se, it's just I don't see a lot happening. There is a nice downtown, with some interesting resturants, but the highlight of downtown seems to be a mall. I am all in favor of downtown redevelopment and having stuff to do downtown; it's just that there is nothing in the mall I can't really find back home. The park on the river that one has to walk through to get downtown from our hotel is also pretty nice. There's an ice skating rink and an IMAX theatre, but nothing I am going to jump into really. So while there is nothing really bad about Spokane, there's nothing really outstanding about it, either, at least from the perspective of a guy without a car. If I lived here, though, it looks like there is lots of cool outdoorsy stuff to do nearby. And there is certainly more to do than in, say, Rock Hill.
And it could just be me. This is my third conference in five weeks, so I am kinda tired of travelling. I also think I am beginning to get a little of the "nesting buzz" now that we have a baby on the way. There's lots of things to do around the house that I can't do while I am in Spokane.
