Spokane Pot of Stew?

Paul Turner, a favorite columnist in our paper, The Spokesman Review, had a really cool definition thing to say in his column last Sunday, March 13th......................

He wrote, "(I am) saluting everyone who came to Spokane from the other 49 states.... all ingredients in our big pot of Spokane stew."

What nationality did your family bring to Spokane??

Spokesman Review Has Great Spokane History Articles

Our very own newspaper, The Spokesman Review, carries weekly articles (complete with new-and-old photos) about the history of Spokane and the area. Stefanie Pettit compiles the Landmarks columns, and Margaret Cowles and Jesse Tinsley offer the Then And Now stories. Both are wonderful!

To me, these columns are a major reason to take the daily paper. I've clipped out the articles and have a nice folder of Spokane history............. after all, it was not other people's ancestors who made this history but was mine and hubby's and probably yours too.

While I cannot copy/paste the photos here for you, I can give you the link........... this one was especially interesting for it was the before-and-after pictures of our new Huntington Park, right alongside the river "under" the Monroe Street bridge:  http://www.spokesman.com/then-and-now/huntington-park/
