Store Story: Intro to Spokane, and Evergreen Club Thrift

I have officially moved into Spokane, WA. It may not be as big as Seattle, but it definitely retains that Great Northwest charm. Also, they have some GREAT thrift stores.

The first day in town my husband and I strolled around downtown (looking for jobs and familiarizing ourselves with the city).

I even found a sign in a window that directed me towards the farmer's market!

We stopped at a Japanese restaurant called Sushi.com. I ordered the lunch combo II bento for $8.95. By the end of our meal the place was packed. It seemed we stumbled on a Spokane Asian cuisine hot spot.

The thrift store itself isn't much, but they do have a good assortment of clothing. I found a great blazer and a pair of snow boots. They also had a great collection of vintage shoes:
