Spokane is a medium-sized city. It was very provincial and conservative for most of its existence but has become far more progressive in the last decade or so. It still feels small in many ways—a big little town—but it has expanded its horizons.

Great story. I’m itching for some small town burgers and fries myself now, although I googled Spokane, and saw its estimated population is around 600,000, which makes it similar in size to my hometown of Constanta, which is one of the largest cities in Romania. Is a 600k city considered small in the U.S.?

I just looked it up. Spokane is the 97th largest city in the USA.

So... fair to say, mid size?

I have no idea. 🙂 But I love when my mind saves the good things, like unopened presents.
