Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, October eleventh, twenty twenty-five. I’m your host, and I’m here to connect you to everything that’s happening in our city and around the Inland Northwest—events, news, and stories that matter to you.Let’s start with some serious developments. This week, the Spokane Police Department has been actively responding to downtown issues, especially concerning drug use and trespassing. Police Chief Kevin Hall is speaking openly about the city’s ongoing challenge with its anti-camping ordinance—originally designed to make it easier to connect unhoused individuals with services, but so far, it hasn’t resulted in any citations or, unfortunately, meaningful connections to housing and health resources. The city is rethinking its approach, considering changes that would give officers more discretion—and more tools—to encourage people to seek help rather than just cycle through jail. The focus remains on community safety and real solutions for those most at risk, especially as winter approaches.In a troubling case, Dupree Meadows, fifty-seven, appeared in court this week, facing charges of arson and assault after an incident last month under the North Brown Street viaduct. Court documents detail how another man was set on fire, suffering burns on over two-thirds of his body, and had to be flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. The case underscores the complexities of homelessness and mental health in our community, as Meadows’ own lack of stable housing and criminal history complicate both the legal and human sides of the story. The victim and suspect had known each other for a decade, reminding us that these issues are deeply personal, even as they play out in public spaces.Switching gears, let’s talk about what you can do today. If you’re looking for something totally unique, check out Shootfest at Northtown Mall. Starting just after noon, this basketball edition of “Horse” is a community favorite, drawing players, families, and spectators for a day of friendly competition. Organizers say the rules are tweaked for fairness—no dunking or fancy dribbling, so anyone can win. Even fourteen-year-old Louis Degenhart, last year’s champion, is back for another shot. Beyond the game, local businesses are hoping for a boost as shoppers stick around to cheer and maybe pick up a few things. Head on down, register to play if you dare, or just enjoy the show and the community vibe.For comedy fans, the Spokane Comedy Club has a stacked weekend. The Dope Show kicks off this afternoon, and the legendary Christopher Titus is in town for a special event tonight—definitely a hot ticket for those who love smart, edgy humor. Looking ahead, Uncle Lazer takes the stage tomorrow, and if you’re aiming for laughs, this is the place.For music lovers, rock fans, and violin virtuosos alike, Halestorm hits the Spokane Arena tonight, with Lindsey Stirling as the opener. It’s shaping up to be a high-energy evening for those who want to swap stories about last night’s show around the water cooler on Monday. Tickets are still available, but don’t wait too long.As we look to the days ahead, remember, this city is always moving—sometimes with challenging news, but always with a strong sense of community. Whether you’re heading out for fun, thinking about how to help, or just keeping an eye on the weather, you’re part of what makes Spokane unique. 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
