Stomping around my old stomping grounds

Phil of Random Nuclear Strikes may be changing locations rather soon, and he's checking out an area I used to live in - Spokane, WA.

So, here's a photo of the Spokane River as seen from Coeur d'Alene, ID. When my family first moved to Coeur d'Alene, it was a typical small town. Now, there's very little separating CdA from Spokane. What used to be miles of prairie is now grown into towns, suburbs, and businesses.

The price of progress, I guess. Still, I think it's better than Seattle or Tacoma any day.
