The king of local TV sports, Dennis Patchin signs off from KHQ/SWX for the final time
What? Dinner in front of the tube with no place setting for Dennis Patchin?. Chiefs highlights and Zags recaps without his brisk narration?

The Spokane Arena reopens after renovations, Sharma Shields' book list; plus, new music!
The Aug. 30 Jelly Roll concert at the Spokane Arena marks the venue's first show back after the PFD closed it for a $10.2 million renovation. Concertgoers will notice dynamic new lighting throughout the Arena's bowl. The wraparound ribbon board was switched to LED that will reduce energy use by about two-thirds and a new dynamic lighting feature can be synced directly with live performances. Along with some back-of-house improvements, multiple suites were also renovated, while retractable seating on three sides of the Arena was replaced, too — a move that will speed up changeovers between athletic events.

Ever wish you could knock a cold one back with Ribby?. Beer drinkers at Brick West Brewing Co. did when everyone's favorite Redband trout paid the brewery a visit last Thursday evening.

Spokane has gotten a lot more colorful this year; check out these new murals that have popped up
Public murals do so much for a community. They strengthen a place's local identity, celebrate history and culture, foster economic vitality, and simply beautify our urban spaces. Murals also bring joy. Think about the delight to be had when, simply going about your day, you suddenly spot a new piece of colorful art on the side of a once-drab building, underpass or retaining wall.
Build-Outs Of Coffee: Indaba Coffee In Spokane, WA
Coffee and the American Northwest are more or less synonymous, and seminal coffee companies from places like Seattle and Portland have become household names. But what folks in other parts of the country might not realize is that the city of Spokane—300 miles east of Seattle, near the Idaho border—is home to a really innovative, exciting, deeply rooted coffee scene. They love their coffee out in Spokane, and one of the core movers there over the last 15 years is Indaba Coffee, a specialty coffee company with a strong fanbase and community focus. This new cafe from Indaba we’re featuring today is another highlight in the 2024 Build-Outs season. Let’s take a closer look.
