Axel's Pawn Shop

When in Spokane, you should definitely make the time to check out the Clock House. This highly interesting shop specializes in--you guessed it--clocks of every kind. Wall clocks, Grandfather clocks, and vintage alarm clocks are just a few of the many timepieces that you'll find here. Also, don't forget to see all of the cuckoo clocks that range from the simple to the incredibly detailed. Plus, there's an excellent collection of Art-Deco pieces that are so cool, you'll never lose track of time again!

Sometimes, the two of you can enjoy some quality time just by making a quick escape to a romantic place that offers something truly special for you to focus on. One such place is the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture. Considered to be one of the most impressive cultural institutions in the Pacific Northwest, this is anything but your average museum. On your date, you can casually stroll through the five galleries to take in the famously eclectic works and exhibits. The building itself is a work of art, as it features impeccable landscaping, an outdoor amphitheater, a museum store, and a great cafe where you both can get a cup of coffee and talk about the many artistic high points of your time together.

Plan a romantic date at the Knitting Factory, a venue that is widely regarded as the Northwest's premiere outlet for live music. Not only will you get to hear some of the best local, regional and even national acts, you'll also enjoy some of the extra amenities that this hip hangout offers. There's a great restaurant and fun nightclub all owned by the same management, so you get to save a little travel time by getting a great meal, hearing some live music, and dancing the night away at one of downtown Spokane's favorite places.
