Auntie's Bookstore
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.
Spokesman-Review Building
Spokane's Spokesman-Review Building is an unmistakeable part of the city's skyline. The building, once the tallest structure in town, is also the home of the Spokesman-Review, Spokane's newspaper. There is much history in this classically designed building, and you can book a tour to see not only the building itself but you will also get an interesting glimpse into the inner-workings of a daily newspaper from its offices to its presses.
