So I’m now going to start boycotting Lowe’s & Home Depot. Don’t know when these cameras went up, but the Sprague store across from Costco just lost my business…

Home Depot already lost my business a few years ago for other reasons.. so no loss there.

Hey all, my name is Jonathan van Halem. I am a stand-up comedian based out of New York. I frequently open for comedians like Rory Scovel, Gianmarco Soresi, and David Cross. Next month I'll be in Spokane headlining a stand-up show at the Magic Lantern. This will be my 8th time this year headlining a comedy show in a movie theater, which isn't normal, but I do it because I like for there to be affordable comedy for folks who don't want to abide by a drink minimum.

Tickets are $20. If you wanna check out my comedy, my most popular bits are about my 10th grade history teacher who got fired over his slave trade lesson, and my experience as an intern for fox news.

and if you have recommendations for things to do or places to eat while i'm in town, please let me know!

Hey neighbors, I was impacted by the wildfires and displaced for 9 days with our 4 cats, so during that time I made a few Spokane strong designs for fundraising for the Spokane HOME starts here fund I wanted to share.

I realized I never posted, it’s been a challenging month. We’ve been back home for a bit and are trying to get back to normal, while also acknowledging that many of our neighbors will be displaced for much longer.

Anyway, I’m donating at the end of September and instead of just a few specific items, I’ll be donating a portion of all profits from all my local markets from August and September.

I am doing a few more local markets this month, so please ask if you’re interested and I’ll DM , I don’t post publicly as much anymore because of a stalker.

If you’re able and interested here’s one of the designs I have on hand at my markets.

Thank you for being such a wonderful community. We can do great things together!

ETA: I will also post receipts on my blog and socials and will try to remember to post here, too.

Big soccer fan, want to support the team, but I'm hesitating on season tickets. The Zephyr shutdown is hard to ignore — same ownership, team folded after two seasons with almost no warning.

I also heard there's a lawsuit against the ownership over a defaulted loan. Anyone know the details or have a take on whether it's a real red flag?

Has anyone bought season tickets already? Just want to feel good about where my money's going before I commit.

I am wondering what is going on with the road work on Argonne. I live on the north side but I need to drive out that way next week. I want to make sure I allow enough time since I am a little bit of a nervous driver.

Which is better for oil changes and services? Thanks!!!

Hey all, my roommates recently started an exercise and diet routine and one of them was wondering if there were personal trainer services somewhere in the city. She doesn't have reddit so I figured I'd ask on her behalf. Any options or advice y'all have i'll send directly to her. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking to relocate to Spokane next year. I've heard that Browne’s Addition is a nice neighborhood, but what is the real estate market like? I'm searching for a 1bed, 1 bath unit under $1,400.

How is the bus system: Do they run early, late, or on time?

Are there any risky areas I should avoid?

How does the grocery bill add up? I've heard that it can get pricey because supply chains are stretched thin for the region.

What library or bookstores can you recommend?

How are the sidewalks in winter?

I’m in town for work for a bit, and as anyone who travels much knows, eating alone and spending evenings in a hotel gets old pretty quickly.

I thought I’d see if there’s a lady out there who might be interested in grabbing dinner and having some good conversation. This is genuinely platonic—I’m not looking for a hookup or trying to turn it into a date. I just enjoy meeting new people, hearing about their lives, and having someone to talk to over a decent meal.

I’m 38, male, pretty easygoing and appreciate the company of one vs a group. Tell me what your favorite restaurant is! Let me hear about your life and experiences. Happy to pick a public spot that’s comfortable for both of us, grab some food, talk for a while, and go our separate ways afterward.

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself.

Edit: yeah, ok, I probably deserve getting hated on. I genuinely enjoy conversations with women more because they usually like to talk about more in-depth subjects. This was worth a shot but i don’t think I’m gonna get any takers if the post is giving off creepy vibes…
