Shameless self-promotion: A while back, we launched a weekly newsletter, The Awesomeness Digest. Focused on food, restaurants, and culture, we have covered topics like eating Belizean rat; working as a cook in a Viking-themed park; the baffling concepts of Lørdagspizzaen and Fredagstacoen; other oddities. Feel free to read and/or subscribe over at Substack.

Notes from all over, liquor edition

#SpoCOOLSpokane

Who's keeping track of all the big box stores applying for the "spirits retailer" license? We're not, because, frankly, I don't see how it would be possible. The latest to throw their hats into the ring are Target, WinCo, and URM. The only one missing seems to be Best Buy.

Speaking of liquor licenses, David's Pizza is set to re-open at 803 Post, with Dan Spalding listed as one of the co-applicants. In other words, you'll soon find them south of the arena and west of the Flour Mill.

And speaking of pizza! Remember how Cafe Italiano closed? Well, they didn't -- and we only found out about this a month later -- and they're still at their Indian Trail location. You should check them out if you haven't already. Somewhat confusingly their Coeur d'Alene location (Greek St Pizza) has closed. So, yeah.
