Here are a few photos of the closing ceremonies for Sasquan, the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention.

Interesting and informative views of Spokane. And good to see cars and pedestrians walking on the correct side of the road. Oh, wait.... lots of one-way streets there?

Most of the downtown streets in Spokane are one way streets.

I'm a big fan of Bing Crosby - have a 4-CD set of his recordings (from the '30s into the '50s) and also own many of his movies - he was a Washington State native and lived in Spokane for a while - thanks for the remembrance! Dave
