North Side
North Side is Spokane's working middle, the swath above the river where Division does the heavy lifting and the houses settle into postwar grids. Garland Street plays the part of the cute strip, with its theater marquee and a couple of drag brunches that punch above the zip code. Shadle Park anchors the western flank, Northtown Mall the eastern, and between them sits a lot of honest single-family stock priced like Spokane still remembers itself. Dating here means coffee at Indaba or Atticus, a movie at the Garland, and the unspoken agreement that nobody is paying South Hill rent to impress anyone.
