The Nathan Sports Steel 700 ml Flip Straw Bottle is my favorite BPA-Free bottle on the market.
1. The straw makes it easy to drink when out and about
2. It is a spill proof bottle, when the straw is flipped down
3. The quick clip comes in handy when you least expect it
4. Wide mouth that makes it easy to clean and fill with ice
5. BPA-Free and comes in 9 different designs
Pick one up at REI or Mountain Gear in Spokane, WA.
Restaurants – Spokane –
Let’s face it: the area around Spokane Community College does not offer much in terms of quick and good lunch food. Quick, yes, but in terms of quality, it’s pretty much a wasteland. And while Sparky’s never have delivered Spokane’s best subs, the addition of it at Misson and Havana certainly is an improvement for the neighborhood.
Sparky’s slogan is “Friends don’t let friends eat at Subway,” which, while I do not have any particular beef with Subway, are words to live by. You won’t find any of Subway’s wilted vegetables at Sparky’s. Everything here is fresh, and that makes all the difference when it comes to the overall experience. And the service is fast. Really fast. I sat down for less than a minute, and the sub was done. They even apologized for making me wait.
What keeps Sparky’s out of Sub Division’s league is the average meat and bread. The vegetables are stellar, and I could forgive the average meat, but really… The bread is where it’s at when it comes to the perfect sub, and Sparky’s feels a bit “ho hum” in that area.
Still. This is a great addition to the SCC area, and a place that is well worth visiting. Go there and support them if you live or work near-by; they're at least worth a shot.
In case you haven’t already lined up outside Vino for their annual “biggest sale of the year,” then, well, stop reading this and run down there.
Save between 10-20% if you’re a regular customer, or 25% on any bottle if you’re a member of the Connoisseur Club, and you have the beginning of a good night. The sale ends at 6pm, so really, I’m not kidding… Stop reading! Run to 222 S Washington and shop!
And when you’re done, run over to OMO and try some of Marta’s new truffles.

Alternate method:
