At Auntie's Bookstore, you'll immediately feel like one of the family! This impressive building is a three-story structure full of stories, as vintage and used books on every topic imaginable are here. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, so if you can't seem to find what you are looking for, just ask. There are always poetry readings and different authors stopping by for signings, and the coffee shop in the store is a favorite of patrons who love their cup of joe almost as much as they love their books.
History and drama converge at the Bing Crosby Theater, also known as the Metropolitan Performing Arts Center. This structure originally opened in 1915 as the Old Clemmer Theatre and has since been added to the National List of historic Places. The stage in this vintage venue has been the place where several classic performances have taken place, among them such notable stage presentations of Gone with the Wind and The Godfather. Today, it is widely considered to be Spokane's most impressive venue where ballets, plays, classical concerts, and other entertainment still electrifies audiences.
Fasteddies All Purpose Pub is aptly named. This is the perfect nightlife stop when you and your friends are either heading out for a fun evening or wanting a few drinks and some munchies after the game before you call it a night. The fact that Fasteddies is located across from the Spokane Convention Center virtually guarantees that the crowd from whatever big event is happening will drop in to this low key but charming little bar. And aside from featuring an impressive selection at the bar, their menu offers some very delicious choices like burgers, sandwiches, appetizers and lots more.
