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.
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.
