My boyfriend and I were stopping by the Garland Theatre to see their list of showings, when we decided we weren’t that interested in what was playing, we decided to finally stop into Tune Time, the small karaoke and game shop attached to the theatre. My boyfriend is pretty big on playing with video games (and I’m not so shabby at it either), and I love singing karaoke. We had both mentioned from time to time that we needed to stop into that shop sometime, but had never shown up for a movie early enough to get in while the shop was still open (we generally go to see that latest 9:45 p.m. showings). This time we were there a little after 7:00 p.m., just am hour before the shop’s closing time. Read the rest of Games, Karaoke, and Novelty Surprises at Tune Times »
Thanks to Linda’s comment on my article covering Beyond Beads (North) I posted in December, I took her advice and decided to check out the little Beads and Treasures Shop on North Monroe. It’s just across and down a ways from Area 58 at 3017 N. Monroe St. It’s an easy store to miss because it’s so small, but the unique sign on the outside triggered me in into its direction. I parked behind the store and was welcomed by the owner. She kindly invited me to come through the back entrance so I wouldn’t have to walk all the way around. I was intrigued by what I found inside.

It has been years, probably since Northtown was remodeled, that I have ventured into the lower level of Northtown Mall. Tonight after walking and shopping at Northtown (4750 N. Division Street) we decided to take the elevator to the lower level to see what there was to do. I was amazed at how much there was to do at Bumper’s Family Fun Center (509-489-4000). There were acarde games, jump castle, train rides, bumper cars and more. Read the rest of Fun For All at Bumper’s in Northtown Mall »
For Christmas one of my good friend’s got us all gift certificates for Champagne Brunch at the Davenport Hotel (10 South Post). We finally all had last Sunday available to head downtown. The Davenport Hotel first opened in 1914 and remained opened until 1985. Walt and Karen saved the Davenport from demolition in 2000 and brought the Davenport back to its glory, as one of the nicest hotels in the state, if not the country.

I’m not much of a sports fanatic. Growing up a theatre geek, I generally prefer to go see a play than a basketball game any time I have a choice between the two options. This has frustrated my younger sister, a cheerleader for Liberty High School in Spangle (about 20 minutes south of Spokane on hwy 195‚Äîthe school is located at 6404 E. Spangle-Waverly Rd.) She finally convinced me to come to one of her home games to watch her cheer. It turned out to be way more exciting for me than I had predicted.

Some of the girls I work with and I decided we had been working too hard and needed to reward ourselves with an upscale, girl’s night out. I opted for seeing “Burn the Floor” at the INB, and someone else inputted going out to dinner at the Shogun. Together, they ended up being the perfect dinner-show combination for our night on the town. Read the rest of Entertaining Food at the Shogun &; Entertaining Dance at the INB »
I have found my new favorite pizza place. I am talking about David’s Pizza at 829 E. Boone Avenue on the edge of Gonzaga’s campus. I am sure most of you have seen David’s Pizza as you drive down Hamilton. David’s has a fire truck parked in the front so you cannot miss it.
Last week we were looking for something new to try on our family night out. My husband picked Davi’s Pizza and he made the right choice. After walking in and finding our seats we looked through the menu to see what sounded good. I chose a salad ($5.50) and bread sticks ($4.50) and my husband and son split a 12″ pizza. David’s has numerous tv so you can watch sports and drink a fabulous beer while waiting for your food. Read the rest of Family Night Out at David’s Pizza-Spokane »
I love exploring antique stores. Each one is completely different and has an entirely new selection of content to browse through. So when I drove past what I noticed to be yet another antique store I hadn’t explored yet, I had to stop in. This antique store is easy to miss because they haven’t had a chance to put their signage up yet, but I’m glad I was able to spot them. They are at 707 N. Monroe, just as you pass Golden Rule Brake over the bridge. This is the perfect antique store to check out if you are a collector of teapots and/or fine china.

I love getting a massage. I am a firm believer that everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of a good massage. Massages are good not only for your body but also for your mind. However, spending $50-$60 for an hour massage is not always an option. I have found the perfect solution just west of downtown. The Northwest Noetic School of Massage located at 2702 West Sunset Blvd. Northwest Noetic is a massage school. In order for their students to be successful, they must obtain so many hours of massage. Therefore, they offer student clinic hours Tuesday through Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings. Read the rest of Relax at Northwest Noetic School of Massage »
