Spokane River Rafting with ROW
brad.sharee Says: I've lived here nearly all my life and couldn't believe the Spokane River could be so much fun. We saw beavers, osprey hunting and even a couple of bald eagles. We didn't think the whitewater would be too challenging...we were right but it was still very exciting. The Bowl...

The Safari Room: Lions and Elephants, Oh, My!

The Asian Cafe and Bakery: Central Asian food

Hacienda Las Flores: Mom & Pop Mexican
JessieLang Says: Hacienda Las Flores is a family-run restaurant east of downtown. It isn't anything fancy, but the food is very good. The owners will be in there working, and the baby might be tucked into a corner. If you find yourself in this neighborhood, it's worth a try.
