Residents of the ingrown empire seem to be fond of fast food chains.
The only two places in Spokane I eat at regularly are the Steelhead and the Davenport Hotel.

Had to laugh at the Davenport Hotel.
When I was 18 I spent a total of 13 days there...except it wasn't a restaurant.
3 days the first time. 10 days the second time after sentencing.
To this day, I can get a cup of coffee that smells exactly like what they brought up to serve.
We had Salisbury steak TV dinner four days in a row, twice a day plus an orange for lunch.
I got lucky and found a pair of socks and a large Hershey's chocolate bar under my pillow.
Didn't have my specs for the entire visit but someone left a Bible in the cell and I read the entire story of Revelation.
One of us got out in 5 days and went to the store. He bought a bunch of sandwich stuff and brought it back. The Sheriffs opened it all up and gave it to us for a feast.
The trip home was another adventure.
That was my one and only experience on the downside of the law.
Eventually had to get a letter from there when I got my FFL for a few years.
Holy shit. I'm 64 now.
Worth sharing the story at this time.
Davenport.
Forever etched into my mind.
