Greek Festival Underway

The 76th Annual Greek Festival is underway and the food looks great, tastes great. Every year the Greek Orthodox Church opens the doors and invites all who want to share a little traditional greek cuisine , art and culture. The men do the cooking outside and many traditional dishes are available. You can get lunch from 11am to 2:00 through Saturday and get dinner from 4:30 to 8pm the same days. It really is one of those once a year you gotta do it things...and hang out for awhile especially at night, a dance or two is bound to break out.  All of this at 1703 N.. Washington just behind NC High School.

This is their second year interviewing graduates from their schools and this year they're kicking off with Nelson. He went to school at Wilson Elementary and Lewis and Clark High School. It's unknown what graduate class he belonged to.

Saying they meet every four years seems like the start of some supernatural ghost story, but it's actually just the Spokane Regional Traffic Commission planning for the next twenty years for Spokane's streets.

They started this week meeting in front of a slim audience of a dozen concerned citizens. They compiled a wish list from the audience about what they wanted to see done with their streets.
