Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Monday, October twentieth. As autumn really settles in, Spokane is waking up to another cool morning with leaves crunching underfoot and a mix of sun and clouds expected throughout the day. High temperatures are set to hover around the mid fifties, making it perfect sweater weather and just right for that extra cup of coffee.Starting off with local news, Spokane Public Schools are starting the week with an important reminder about safety as the days get shorter. School zones will see increased patrols for the next two weeks, so plan to stop and give yourself a little more time during your morning commute. The district is also holding forums for parents this week focused on school funding and upcoming curriculum changes. These are great opportunities to ask questions and get involved in what’s happening in our classrooms.Speaking of community, the Spokane City Council will meet tonight at City Hall at six. On the agenda is a proposal for expanded downtown parking options and debates about new city-supported housing initiatives. If you want to have your voice heard or just stay in the loop, remember you can stream meetings live or catch up afterwards online.On the business front, there’s more movement on the North Bank as Spokane Arena prepares to host bigger events in the coming months. Downtown businesses are hoping for a boost, with several new restaurants opening on Main Avenue. If you are an early-morning walker or late-night snacker, be on the lookout for those grand opening signs and sample specials.Fall festivities continue around town this week. Green Bluff’s orchards are still welcoming families for apple picking and pumpkin patches, making for perfect weekend outings. Tonight, downtown’s historic Garland Theater is presenting a classic horror movie double feature as part of its Fright Nights series. Over at River Park Square, the Handmade Spokane fall market brings dozens of local artists and crafters together, running through this evening, so you still have a chance to pick up some unique décor or early holiday gifts.Outdoors, Spokane Parks are in peak color, and the Centennial Trail is absolutely glowing with yellows and reds. If you venture out, take a moment for a riverside stroll or snap some photos at Manito Park’s Japanese Garden, which is particularly stunning right now.Finally, keep an eye on the Spokane Chiefs as they return home this week for a pair of games at the Arena. Ticket sales have been strong, and fans are hoping for another thrilling season on the ice. That’s a wrap for your Spokane Local Frequency on this brisk Monday. Go fuel up, support local, and make the most of everything our city has to offer. This has been Spokane Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
