Les Davis Pier -- PhotoOp by VisitWa

The Les Davis Pier is right in the heart of the Ruston Way waterfront action! It has excellent parking and has restaurants within a short walking distance. The pier itself is beautiful and fun to check out the views, and with clear water conditions you can often see jelly fish from the pier. Watch for flying hooks, because there are usually people fishing out there. The pier is located right next to the Ruston walkway, which stretches all the way up and down Ruston Way. Located east of Marine Park and just west of Fireboat #1, Les Davis Pier is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week year round for fishing. Scenic views of Mt. Rainier can be seen on clear Pacific Northwest days and the pier is a local favorite for dock fishing and diving. Divers enter the water just west of the pier. Both divers and those fishing salmon, bottom fish, crabbing, and squid jigging are favorite pastimes. Fish cleaning station is available at the pier. Ph. (253) 305-1000

Old Town Dock - PhotoOp by VisitWa

Old Town Dock was first built in 1873 and served the shipping industry until trade operations moved to the Tideflats. After that it quickly transitioned into a popular public space. Today it offers scenic photo opportunities to all visitors. Located at west end of the Jack Hyde park. Fishing from the dock is prohibited. Neighboring Les Davis Pier and Point Defiance Pier were both designed to serve as our public fishing piers. The citizen committee advised that there is a natural conflict both with barbs and human flesh between casting and hand powered boats, and also with fishing line and motors, and that this dock’s use should be operated to support water to shore access, as well as scenic vistas for those walking Ruston Way. Ph. (253) 305-1000 Restrooms available

Lincoln Statue - Heritage Walk by VisitWa

The Lincoln Statue was created by Seattle sculptor Victor Lewis. Lewis’ concept was of Lincoln reviewing his troops in battle, a portrayal of Lincoln that at the time had never been done. Lewis considered this statue to be one of “the most powerful statues to have been made.” The granite base upon which Lincoln stands was reportedly designed by architect Kirtland Cutter. The inscription reads, “Let us have faith that right makes might and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it.” Lincoln posted by Nadine S., Spokane's Homegrown Tourist

Peyton Building - Heritage Walk by VisitWa

The Peyton is actually two buildings. The front portion facing Riverside, designed by Herman Preusse, was one of the largest buildings constructed after the 1889 fire. The original building burned in 1898, causing the deaths of eight people living in the upper-floor apartments. Colonel Issac N. Peyton bought the site and rebuilt using the remaining walls. In 1908, Peyton financed the addition of two stories and built the second building to the south, connecting all floors and linking the two with a common entry on Post Street. It was known as a first class commercial location called the "million-dollar corner." The Peyton Building and Peyton Annex were designed in the Romanesque revival and Commercial styles. posted by Nadine S., Spokane's Homegrown Tourist

1889 Building/Bodie Block – on the Heritage Walk by VisitWa

The 1889 Building/Bodie Block is a three-story brick building and the oldest remaining from the post Great Spokane Fire era. Bodie Block was initially a modern design with references to Romanesque Revival. The building's three symmetrical bays that are dominated by a centered arched window is a great example of this popular design. Above the second floor, "1889" is carved into a sandstone panel. In 1974, due to the popular inscription on the structure, the Bodie Block was renamed the 1889 building. The building was a Single Room Occupancy (SRO) that housed workers in the railroad, lumber, agriculture and mining industries. SRO's offered affordable private rooms that were meagerly furnished. It had commercial space on the ground floor with the residential rooms above. Today it is solely a commercial building. posted by N. Schulte, Spokane’s Homegrown Tourist

Realty Building/The DeLaney – part of the Heritage by VisitWa

Albert Held designed this structure for the Spokane Realty Company in 1910. In later years it was used as an annex of City Hall and once housed the Spokane Police Department. In the late 1940’s the building was purchased by Cole E. Wylie and became KREM radio station. The station's transmitter was built on the roof with the tower 190 feet above it. The counterpoise for the antenna consisted of wires strung between the top of the roof across streets and parking lots to other nearby buildings. The station's studio and business office were located inside. The building name was changed to the DeLaney Building. It is currently used as an apartment building for senior citizens. The transmitter atop the building is still in place and is being used by radio station KSBN 1230 kHz. posted by N. Schulte, Spokane's Homegrown Tourist

Ritz Theatre (Rocky Rococo’s) by VisitWa

The Ritz Theatre was opened in 1924 as a motion picture theater. The theater installed a Robert Morgan theater organ and seated 500 on the main floor and balcony. It’s narrow, three-story facade was in a simple but elegant Spanish Colonial style. In 1962, the theater was remodeled by a new owner, Robert Hefner, and renamed Cinema 63. Hefner intended to run the house with an art policy. Today the building is occupied by a restaurant (Rocky Rococo,) and above the ground floor it retains its historic appearance. Posted by N.

Spokane County Courthouse -part of Heritage Walk by VisitWa

The Spokane County Courthouse closely resembles two 16th century chateaux, the Chateau de Chambord and Chateau d'Azay Le Rideau. French Renaissance design is obvious with its grand towers and beautiful craftsmanship in the iron and brickwork. The architect was a 29-year-old named W. A. Ritchie. He was the winner of a design competition sponsored by The Board of County Commissioners. In spring of 1894, building began. It was finished and all officials moved in by November 20, 1895. Designed to look like an old, romantic European castle, it is actually the place where the county's first public hanging took place. The center tower is now lighted at night, and the entire building is considered a masterpiece. Posted by Nadine S., Spokane’s Homegrown Tourist

The Spokesman-Review Building – Part of Heritage W by VisitWa

The Review Tower is an historic landmark that was built in 1891, following the great fire that burned down many buildings in downtown Spokane. Construction began in March 1890 and was completed in October 1891. The architect was Chauncy B. Seeton. It houses the Spokesman-Review, a regional newspaper. It was the tallest building in the downtown area for 10 years. The front entrance of the building has attractive pink and red, 395 million years old Tennessee marble. The walls in the lobby are yellow marble from Italy. The tower was made with a steel structure that would be fireproof. Other materials used included concrete and red brick. The Cowles family still own the building and publishes the newspaper today, almost 125 years later. Posted by Nadine S., Spokane’s Homegrown Tourist

Ben Burr Trail by VisitWa

This trail was constructed along an abandoned railroad line - part of the old Spokane and Inland Empire Railroad Company. The trail is crushed stone, dirt and gravel, and runs between Underhill and Liberty Parks in SE Spokane. The trail, along with the surrounding neighborhoods, is tree-lined, making for a pleasant stroll. Ruins of the old park can also be seen. It is about a mile long, the highlight being a bridge across Altamont Street. It is named for Ben Burr because of his work with the Great Northern Railway for forty-eight years. Park at Liberty Park, (near E. 3rd Avenue and Liberty Park Place.) You can also park near the swimming pool at Liberty (Pittsburg Street and E. 5th Avenue.) Parking is also available on the southeast end of the trail at Underhill Park (the end of Fiske St. near E. 8th Ave.) Open dawn to dusk. Posted by Nadine S., Spokane’s Homegrown Tourist

Parque da Bela Vista by dshay

At 85,000 M2 Parque da Bela Vista is one of the largest parks in Lisbon. It is great for strolling and relaxing but it is best known as a prime venue for concerts. During the summer months concerts are held regularly including the annual Rock N Rio festival. There is a walking and jogging trail and lots of open area for sports. It isn’t far from the airport if you are between flights and have some time to kill.

Casino Estoril by dshay

If you are a James Bond fan it is worth stopping at Casino Estoril. The Casino is the largest in Europe and carries a rich history. Portugal was neutral in World War II so it became haven for deposed royals, espionage agents and all sorts of other colorful characters. The chief gathering point for this cast of characters was the Casino. As the story goes Ian Fleming was a British Naval Intelligence officer in WWII who spent a lot of his time at the Casino engaged in espionage activities. It was his encounters at the Casino that gave rise to his first James Bond novel, Casino Royale.
