Postcard - Spokane, Washington

"Spokane, Washington. This view of the Lilac City is seen from the Maple Street Bridge area -- in the foreground is the Monroe Street Bridge and Spokane River -- in the background a portion of Metropolitan Spokane."

1970s, probably.

Postcard - Spokane, Washington

"Spokane skyline from the Spokane River. View of the business district looking south from Spokane River."

I'm guessing this was taken in the 1950s, around the time when I lived there as an infink and little shaver.

Postcard - Spokane, Washington

"Spokane, Washington, U.S.A. Spokane Falls Boulevard borders the Riverfront Park from east to west south of the Spokane River. The clock tower and convention center are central in this view. 'Spokane' - Indian name meaning - 'Children of the Sun.'"

1970s.

Postcard - Spokane, Washington

"This overall, wide angle view shows left to right: Upper Falls on Spokane River, the Coliseum and Old Flour Mill (distant), River Over The Falls Terminal, Imax Theatre, Pavilion, Clock Tower, The Carrousel (just beyond Spokane Falls & Northern Railway Terminal), and Riverpark Convention Center & Opera House. Spacious grounds, blue water, and interesting bridges unite these impressive attractions."

Later half of the 1970s.

Postcard - Spokane, Washington

"These upper falls take on varied appearances. Depending on time of year, from a wild torrent during spring run-off to a babbling stream in late summer. This northern portion of the river is split around Canada Island in Riverfront Park and is crossed by a unique suspension footbridge. Man's earliest utilization of the river was near this site."

1970s.

Postcard - Spokane, Washington

"The mirrored reflections in the placid Spokane River are viewed here from near the end of the Division Street bridge. A matchless setting for a revitalized city on the move. New and remodeled stores, skywalks, parking buildings, a convention center, and the impressive Riverfront Park make Spokane, Washington, an exciting place to live and to visit."

Probably later half of the 1970s.
