Postcard - Spokane, Washington

"The National Municipal League selected Spokane as one of 12 cities throughout the USA an an All America City. A timely award to the competition, and Spokane was the only city in the Northwest, and one of the only two in the West to receive the honor. Judging was based on urban improvement, imagination, and reinvigoration achieved through citizen efforts. View is from Cliff Drive, looking north over the constantly changing skyline."

Photo taken in the late 1970s.

I was born near the spot where this photo was taken and we lived in what would've been the newer part of town back then, in a tiny house near the horizon line of this shot.

One of my favorite animators, Chuck Jones, was also born in Spokane.
