Cousin Sam: July 2023

A small crowd gathers outside Spirit Lake City Hall. The July meeting of the City Council is about to start. For 30 minutes, people mingle — talking about their roots in town and concerns about public safety — until city employees unlock the doors. People quickly fill the seats, and more stand in the back. They're there for one issue: the city's shrinking police department.

Martha Holmberg's Simply Tomato satisfies home cooks and grand diplômés alike with a single fruit

By Eliza Billingham

Forty years ago, Martha Holmberg knew exactly what she wanted to do: train as a chef at one of the top culinary schools in France. She didn't know she would eventually author or co-author nine cookbooks, including a James Beard award winner. She didn't know she would write hundreds of pages on the humble tomato, creating an authoritative text on the fruit, Simply Tomato, which hit shelves this June. She didn't know she would cultivate a successful career on the east coast, then in Portland, then in a new, developing food scene in Spokane.

The race to represent northwest Spokane is a crowded, ideological buffet

By Nate Sanford

Six people are running to represent northwest Spokane in this year's Aug. 1 primary election. Almost all of the District 3 city council candidates agree that housing, homelessness and public safety are the biggest issues facing the city. But their backgrounds and plans for addressing the problems differ in significant ways. They all say they'll work to set partisan politics aside and work with all sides of the aisle, but each comes with their own distinct political background: progressivism, environmentalism, libertarianism, conservatism and even a sort of new age mysticism.

A proposal out of Spokane City Hall would eliminate the need for parking spots in new housing

By Eliza Billingham

Turns out a parking spot can be a lot more expensive than its monthly fee. Building designated parking for apartments is a hidden expense that can drive up rent — but local leaders want to change that.

After STA's City Line transit route launches this month, taking the bus becomes like a trip to the museum

By Eliza Billingham

The City Line is a 6-mile bus rapid transit route connecting Browne's Addition to Spokane Community College. Something of a cross between light rail and bus, the City Line is the first bus rapid transit route in the Inland Northwest.

Spokane's Hot Dog Bob is one of downtown's friendliest attractions

By Eliza Billingham

Bob Dog. The Dog Master. Bob the Hot Dog Man. Robert Hetnar's list of nicknames could rival Beyonce's. The devotion of his fans probably could, too. Come September, Hetnar will have been selling hot dogs on the corner of Spokane Falls Boulevard and Howard Street for 11 years. He's a lunch spot, a tour guide, a community watchdog and a clock for downtown. The wheeled cart of Spokane Dogs is a semi-permanent attraction for locals and visitors alike. Handing out one of America's most iconic foods, Hetnar himself becomes part man, part myth, part hot dog hat. Slinging sausages isn't for the faint of heart, but at 67, he plans on doing this "forever."

Any way you slice it, hot dog history is American history

By Eliza Billingham

Though the national food is probably hamburgers, hot dogs have achieved unique mythical status in the country's psyche, simultaneously connotated with national independence, baseball, the American dream, and regional identity. The humble hot dog can be seen lurking in the background of nearly every national memory. July is national hot dog month, and it's time to give it the credit it's due.
