Good morning, Spokane!
Spokane gets one last September afternoon, and it comes with paletas. That is a pretty cheerful way to hand the calendar over to October. The weekend choices get bigger, but the edges of the week stay easy, with short library stops for little kids and a welcoming Saturday movie night for teens who are often left out of the usual event lists.
Let's get to it.
