Spokane News Today | 2 Min | The Daily News Now!

This weekend’s sports scene is low-key but packed with local flavor: NFL preseason is a snoozefest, college football kicks off with under-the-radar matchups, MLB’s August showdowns aren’t quite make-or-break yet, and big tennis/golf events feel less electric. For Spokane fans, the real drama’s tonight — Mariners in Toronto chasing wild-card fate, Idaho opens against Cal Poly without any preseason prep, and if you’re not into that, catch North Carolina vs. TCU in Dublin or the U.S. Open kickoff in NYC. Plus, Gonzaga’s transfer shuffle, EWU’s defensive hopes, and a local bare-knuckle fighter gearing up for a big fight. One TV might be all you need — or maybe just your pillow.

Tacos y Tequila is roaring back this Saturday, August 29th, for its sixth year—this time in the Hillyard Creative District, bringing Latino culture to life with food, drinks, and live music. After last year’s cancellation due to safety concerns tied to rising anti-immigrant rhetoric, organizers Nuestras Raíces Centro Comunitario are thrilled to return—with local businesses rallying behind them. All proceeds fund their vital cultural and mental health programs, plus a special donation to wildfire recovery teams still on the ground. It’s celebration with purpose: feast, dance, and give back.

Ever seen someone air their underwear on a hotel balcony? Yeah, it’s happening—and it’s sparking etiquette chaos. Then there’s the sister who ignores your allergies and insists you eat her “special” food, even when you’re begging her to stop. And don’t get us started on using “RIP” as a casual sign-off on condolence posts—some say it’s too trendy for grief. The bottom line? Etiquette isn’t about rules—it’s about respect. Your actions, words, and even social media choices ripple outward. Think before you post, before you serve, before you hang anything out there for the world to see.

A century-old mystery buried with a pioneer: L.M. Ringer, a 19th-century wheat baron and town founder whose grave vanished after his death, was finally laid to rest—with a new headstone—thanks to his great-great-grandson and cousin who solved the puzzle using old records, cemetery maps, and a former funeral director’s help.

In 1976, two masked teens robbed Jack & Dan’s Tavern, grabbing over a thousand bucks—caught within days. Then, in 1926, Spokane’s own sheriff arrested his predecessor in a fiery street feud over politics and pride. History’s full of chaos, from heists to hand-slaps between lawmen.

Carmela Conroy’s rise as the unified candidate for independents and Democrats comes with a powerhouse resume—prosecutor, Middle East negotiator, university president, corporate exec—and she’s positioned to tackle looming AI economic threats and power consolidation. Meanwhile, the Spokane GOP is split: critics call their platform dangerously divisive, likening it to extremist rhetoric, while supporters defend it as rooted in faith, family, and freedom—and urge voters to read it themselves. The fallout? Some feel abandoned by the party, citing internal extremism and calls to punish moderates, sparking fears of a deeper fracture in American politics.
