Produced in1997, Remembering Spokane explores fifty years of nostalgia; The zoo at Manito Park, meeting under the clock at the Crescent department store, Natatorium Amusement Park, Sunday afternoon tea-dances at the internationally renowned Davenport Hotel. These are just some of the memories and historical tidbits that are rekindled in Remembering Spokane.
Not a traditional historical documentary, Remembering Spokane is the social history of the community as told by the people who lived it, using their old home movies and photo albums. It covers the period from 1924 to 1974. The years Spokane survived a world war and hosted a World's Fair. Remembering Spokane explores fifty years of nostalgia; so we invite you to join us for a lilac-scented stroll down memory lane in Spokane, the heart of the Inland Northwest.

I’m 19 and I’ve been here my entire life.
The Boyle song has been stuck in my head since childhood, most of us still know the phone number by heart. Lol.
And Banner Fuel Banner Fuel...North 122 Helena...Banner Fuel! Sing it! 😂
I was born in Spokane in 1944. This documentary is Heaven for me! My Dad, who was born in Spokane in 1906, could remember when coffins were offered in the display windows of The Crescent Department Store. Yeah--boxes for the dead.
That's crazy 🤪 my Grandma ran the toy department
It was great
I live in Spokane
My Moms 1st Job was at the Fox. It's been Restored. I was there somewhat Recently and it's so Beautiful!
Glad I found this. Great memories from the 60's when I lived there as a kid.
Growing up in Spokane this brought back a lot of memories for me, especially Nat Park and Doyle's ice cream parlor. Its a great documentary.
wow i remmber spokane before expo. it was nice to live here. now its hard to find the good of spokane , now just memories.
Doyle's is now taking debit cards and what not
Spokane!!!! I grew up there.
Great watch for anyone headed to visit Spokane.
Our cabin on Hayden was not far from Bing's home...... used to see him cruising by our dock in his Chris Craft.....he never failed to wave back at us kids.
Quite a surprise to see the Starlit Stairway piece. I know the little baton twirler in blue velveteen. That was me. Thanks for the memories.
Manito Park was Designed by the same Landscapers who Designed Central Park in NY. It is Spectacular. I lived 5 minutes away and used to walk there almost everyday with my dog Latte ❤
Central Park used to be a thriving black community with churches schools parks and homes, wonder what was before manito and all the history built over and colonized by white men of the physical and spiritual murder of natives.
spent much time in riverfront especially when was homeless at 18-19
This is absolutely wonderful. I was born at Sacred Heart in 79 and have spent all but six years here. Proud to say I’m now raising my son here. Breaks my heart to see all the things I missed from before my time. Especially Nat Park. My mom has talked about it my whole life. What a great, heart warming video. Thank you. ❤
Spokane is definitely a special place, to me, its home. My grandma would have loved this video, RIP Sharon White.
18:50 Everything We Lost, We Can Get Back....
I was once on Captain Cy TV show! I remember him very well!
Every time, when you think you want to leave Spokane, there's always that part of Spokane that draws you back, for me it's the old history, Browne's Addition, Nat park even though it dispanded before I was born.
This is so cool
Very Well Done!
Thank you
Great job
Spokane is still aliveeeee ooooo
BlxeBxtt3rflyy but the city dies around 9pm🤣
Great documentary.
Spokane is on the come up. We have our problems obviously but it is a great place, even considering all of the pompous west siders moving here now because the living costs are too high
I hate Spokane bad memories
Spokane when I was a kid (in the late 70s, early 80s) was a lot denser and more populous. I don't know many west siders moving there, most of the east siders I know all live in the west now. Maybe they'll go back someday?
I was born in the Deaconess Hospital in Spokane. I was on the Captain Cy show once. My grandmother, Grace Lowery was the "Head" room service lady (maid) at the Davenport Hotel, and her son, my Uncle Gil, was the "Head" bartender in the Matador room. Drew Cary is wrong! It's Spokane that rocks!
Doyle's ice cream shop is still around
And still delicious!
My Grandparents started The 1st Volunteers of America in the Mission District Downtown 😇
I have fil footage of Nat Park at around 1966 or 67. Last year or do that they operated.
I was told I had watched captain cy I remember A man dressed as A sea captain 👩✈️ surrounded with kids, like wen I moved to Everett I watched JPPatches .
I loved the Cresent and we still Met Under the Clock when l was in HS in the 80's❤The Davenport has been Meticulously Restored too. It's so Gorgeous. I interviewed to work in the Flower Shop. I didn't get Hired because of Credit...😒
Yes it's beautiful

"As in two-thousand-twenties, when today's children will be parents" @30:33
If you need fuel or oil call Boyle.. Fairfax... 😂
Spokane really was Fun to grow up in...even if l was Abused! Sometimes l think l hate it! But no...it's a Love/Hate thing...l miss it but when lm there...l hardly stay! 😢
Why did they burn that train car?! they should’ve put it in a museum!
Spokane is not a drug infested hole in the ground some would say it is. Spokane has its problems as does any other growing city, compare Spokane to other cities of the same size such as Boise and Tacoma and I think you will see they have their issues as well. No city is exempt from crime but Spokane really is a beautiful city and if you haven't visited before I would encourage you to visit.
Daniel Parsons was
Nah Spokane is pretty shitty, granted all cities have problems, and Spokane has some cool things to do, but it's an ugly place. Tacoma is pretty bad too, but don't compare Boise to it.
Agreed. Beautiful people too.
@mod72cfw I wouldn't set one foot in that backwards, irrelevant shithole state that idaho is. Where they pay their waitresses $3 an hour and lock people in cages for smoking pot. idaho will always suck and will always be stuck in the past; ghetto as FUCK!
Ruby C. Ofcourse this white lady from Boise would say some shit like this!🤣🙄🤣 Boise is just like Spokane rn boo boo ahah it comparable
What year(s) was this filmed? Pls reply.
Documentary is from 1997 (50:20)
36:20
I am trying to find out information on which my dad told me about but he is no longer around, anyway he was telling me about some type of fire in which a bunch of firemen died from the Spokane FD and I can't remember what it is that struck me but I can't even find this on Google, anyone who lives there and have some sort of history or might even know someone who works for the FD I would greatly appreciate some closure on this, cause this has family ties. TIA. Like what year and how many and how did it happen. Tya
I dunno if you live here in Spokane as well but this is a sort of log of all deaths in the Spokane FD...I dunno if you've seen this website already but I tried my best to help, hope it helps some.

It's sad they didn't save one of the trolley cars for posterity ... so the future generations could see the mode of transportation from by gone days
The bus companies made sure no trolley car was left. They demanded Spokane city to burn them before they gave the city the buses.
That's funny...my grandma was so Fancy and Strict she made my Uncle wear Knickers even when Boys could finally wear long pants so the Boys Teased and Bullied him...than he come home and beat up my mom 😩
Now ubres and Lyfts move people around Spokane?
and electric scooters and bikes and boards.
Why burn that streetcar with all those miles, you could've preserved history.
I know :-( I bet the tire industry had something to do with it, as they stood to gain lots of money from automobiles
I agree, they could have turned it into a pancake restaurant.
Totally skipped over the native Americans who resided in the area before spokane was a concept
Spokane is a joke.
Then please go away or do something positive for your community.
Unless you’re being held captive, feel free to leave.
@@katherinehealy4208 oh I will. After I bully your homeless tease them with a $100 bill or a meal. I’ll be glad to. Until then.
The tweakers in the city or like cockroaches. They’re everywhere. And they cannot wait to break into your car or your house.
@@truestwarrior23 the sooner the better. And don’t let the “door” hit you in the butt on the way out. What’s taking you so long to harass homeless people?
I really hate these sappy sentimental shows
