I wanted to go dancing so did an Internet search and found several of the Senior Citizen centers in Spokane, Post Falls and Couer d’ Alene have a dance sometime during the week. One dance was on my birthday Monday night August 11th at the Corbin Senior Center located in Northwest Spokane at 827 W. Cleveland Ave.

Chuck E Cheese’s at 10007 N. Nevada in north Spokane. We went to Chuck E. Cheese with just the intention of playing and not eating. We stuck to that too. The pizza and salad bar looked very tasty, but we spent our money on the games for the kids. Each game at Chuck E Cheese costs 1 token or $0.25. I did not think that was too bad. As you arrive at Chuck E Cheese you and your children receive a hand stamp. I did not understand the purpose of this until we left. They check your stamps and make sure you and your child have the same number. I was comforted by this security measure. They also have baby gates at the front door so your children cannot leave without you.

There is a restaurant in Spokane Valley called HuHot that is a type of Mongolian Grill restaurant. I recently planned a surprise birthday party for someone with about a group of 15 in attendance. I had never been to HuHot, but I had heard rave reviews from friends and it was the birthday girl’s favorite [...]

This year was their 30th year holding the concert and festival. The concert is put on by the Allegro Baroque and Beyond a non-profit arts organization and free to the public. It is always held the last Sunday of July annually. The main events are held in the Lilac Bowl Meadow across from the Spokane Opera House.

My birthday was last week and I got to decide where we would go for dinner. I really love Italian food and pizza is probably my favorite, so I decided that we would go to Rock City Grill in downtown Spokane because they have delicious pizzas.
We decided to have an early dinner and luckily [...]

When the weather is pleasant and not too hot, Riverfront Park is a great place to go for a walk, enjoy the scenery and have some fun. Some friends and I recently went for a stroll in the park on a Sunday afternoon. We were actually trying to simultaneously pass time and enjoy the weather and our walk did just that. We started our walk near the carousel and new fountain. We made our way northward across the bridge that crossed the Spokane River. Standing on the bridge facing up the river gave us a beautiful view of the park’s famous clock tower.

I went to elementary school with my friends Geoff and Ryan and St. Thomas More Catholic School in North Spokane. With the busyness of life, we don’t get a chance to catch up much anymore, even though we all live in the same neighborhood in West Spokane, near Downriver Golf Course. So I called Geoff to see if he and Ryan would like to play some twilight golf at Downriver Golf Course. Spokane has great, affordable golf at all times, but at the end of the day, you can get a great deal on playing nine holes at area courses

We arrived at Mizuna (214 N Howard) and were greeted by a friendly hostess. We’d been there before, and the service is always top notch. It seems that the staff enjoys working at Mizuna, and they certainly enjoy eating there. Whenever we ask about the menu items, our server raves about the best meal they have tried recently, and gives great advice about the kitchen staff’s best new creations.

Not having very much and trying to save our money for an upcoming weekend getaway we decided to head to Five Mile Pizza for a beer and pizza date night. Five Mile Pizza is located at 6409 N. Maple Street across from the Five Mile Shopping Center. Their phone number is 328-4764

Five Mile Pizza is not only a great place to take your date, it is also very family friendly. When you walk in can place your food order and then take a seat and wait for you number to be called. We decided to order individual calzones.

It was a weekday evening and my husband and I wanted to go get some dinner that wasn’t the same old fast food joint. A friend at work had told me about this sushi restaurant she had gotten a to-go order from a few days before. She raved about the food so we decided to try it out. The restaurant is on the South Hill (57th & Regal) and it is called Okane on the Hill.
