Destination Spokane Washington USA!


Hey friends it's Oz here for a Spokane Washington edition of The Oz Files. Leah finally came up with a topic after some roadblocks but here we go. The topic is what about Spokane do I most like and what are the main places for visitors to enjoy? I have lived in Spokane most of my life I believe we moved here when I was 1 or 2 years old. Spokane has a lot of great amenities but I will focus on one sole category and go into what makes it so great. The city of Spokane has a lot of great local sports teams. In the winter time you got the Spokane Chieeeeeeeeeefs hockey going on which goes through March or April. Going to a chiefs game is so electric the body checks the fights the scoring and the booing it's all part of what makes going to chiefs so amazing. They play in the Spokane Arena which is home to the Spokane Shock and host several other events. In the fall we got the Spokane Shock which is the A2 league AKA Arena Football 2 league. Think of it as the minor leagues of Arena Football. I've been to one shock game and boy oh boy it was an electric atmosphere. The Shock are also a good fun team to watch they won the whole ball of wax in there first year that was quite a great moment. One of my favorite things to do in Spokane are going to the Spokane Indians games at Avista Stadium. They are the A short season farm team for the Texas Rangers oh that is baseball just in case you have been under a rock. The summers in Spokane are fabulous with the great Indians teams each and every year. To learn more about the Spokane Indians you may want to reference The Oz Scammer blog. The best thing about Spokane for me is none other than the Gonzaga Bulldogs Basketball fever! Some people around here on bandwagon Gonzaga fans Not I haven't missed a game since 1998 and that was before they were any good. That means I had games blasting on the radio. Huge thing in town but those are things I like most about Spokane if I had to choose one so I put it in one category. If your new in town or are visiting Spokane I will give you a few stops to check out. The first place I would have you go is Riverfront Park. There is tons to do feed the ducks, go to the IMAX, go on some rides or have a picnic and much much more. I would catch a show at the IMB definitely a must you will have a great time. Is eating on your mind you can't go wrong with Red Robin downtown then head on over to AMC to catch a movie or two. Lots of stuff to do in Spokane um not really but definitely go bowling! What do you think of Spokane? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!
