Spokane wants to grow up: A fancy new convention center, Trader Joe’s on the way (we hope) and a police force reminiscent of LAPD at its worst. I suppose beating the populate into submission is one way to go about creating an orderly citizen. Or a dead one. Anyway, here’s hoping they get that Trader Joe’s and that sucking down a few bottles of Two-Buck Chuck mellows the cops out a bit. Hey Joe, if Spokane doesn’t work out, we’d love to have you in Coeur d’Alene. I’m tired of having to drive to Oregon to pick up my cocoa and 20 pound chocolate bars, dammit!
