Travel back to the late 19th century to relive some of Spokane's colorful past when you visit Browne's Addition Historic District. These prairie-Victorian mansions, appealing bungalows and prairie-style homes make this one of the most popular areas of town for visitors and history buffs. The neighborhood is easy to get to by taking Second Avenue west from downtown. Some of the popular sites include Patsy Clarke's Mansion, which is one of the city's most popular inns. Also, don't miss the Glover Mansion, the home of Spokane's founder. This popular attraction is rightfully listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
Some of the best views in Spokane can be seen from behind a pair of handlebars. To see them for yourself, strap on your helmet and let your feet hit the pedals on Row Adventure Center's popular bike tour. These are the only guided tours offered on the Hiawatha Trail and are definitely a great way to explore the area while getting some exercise. The guides are not only expert bikers, but they are quite well-versed in the area's history, and are informative and entertaining sources of information as you travel the trail.
You'll laugh, you'll dance, and you'll have a hard time forgetting the frenzied, side-splitting performance of the improv theater troupe that hits the stage regularly at the Blue Door. This group originally began in Seattle but fortunately, for audiences in Spokane, they now make their home at the Blue Door. The venue is intimate, as it only seats 65 audience members, but before the evening is over, you'll be laughing along with 65 of your closest friends!
