Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Thursday, January 30, 2025. We're starting off with some exciting news for cyclists in our community. The City of Spokane has just been named a Silver-Level Bicycle Friendly Community, moving up from its previous bronze level. This achievement reflects the city's ongoing efforts to improve cycling infrastructure and safety, making Spokane an even more enjoyable place to live and explore on two wheels[4].In other news, the Spokane Police Department has been working diligently to address various incidents across the city. Recently, detectives with the SPD Major Crimes Unit identified the suspect in the shooting incident that tragically took the life of 13-year-old Gavin Looper. The department also responded to reports of a burglary at a commercial building on North Freya Street and an armed robbery at the Days Inn motel on North Division[1].On a lighter note, there's plenty to do in Spokane this week. The Spokane Civic Theatre is currently running the production "Sweat" through February 2, offering a compelling theatrical experience. If you're looking for live music, The Chameleon will host a variety of bands on February 1, including Everyone Loves A Villain and London Get Down. For art enthusiasts, the Auntie's Book Club is hosting a virtual mystery/thriller discussion, and the EWU Gallery of Art is featuring the exhibit "Amanda Leigh Evans & Tia Kramer: When The River Becomes A Cloud" through February 7[2].For those interested in community events, the EWU College of Professional Programs is hosting a Community Engagement Speaker Series today from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at Eastern Washington University. Additionally, the City of Spokane reminds residents to prepare for the incoming frigid temperatures and to stay safe on the roads, especially during icy conditions[1].In local arts, the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art WSU is showcasing "The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation" through March 8. The Whitworth Art & Design Department Faculty Exhibit at the Bryan Oliver Gallery is another must-see, though it concludes today[2].Finally, a quick update on local services: garbage and recycling pickup are on their normal schedule, and the City Water Department is ready to assist with any water-related issues due to the cold weather[1].This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
