Saranac Hotel and Magic Lantern: Open house two-fer:

Have your plans firmed up for the weekend?  If so, change them.  If not, you're in luck.  This Friday and Saturday is the official open house/grand opening for the Saranac Hotel and the Magic Lantern.  The block between Browne and Division on Main Avenue has completely reinvented itself over the past few years. 

Going from empty storefronts to what is easily the largest concentration of non-profit organizations in the city is no small feat.  Oh, and while were at it, why not throw in a new art film house (finally!) with two screens, the largest solar array in state and a building that will likely be LEED Platinum when all is said and done. 

Festivities begin at 6pm on Friday with the ribbon cutting followed by open houses with food, bevvies, and live music until 10pm.  Saturday they'll do it all again from 2pm to 10pm as Main Avenue is closed between Browne and Division.  Come see what they've done.  It's a proud moment for Spokane.

• Fri 9/21-6-10pm

Yeah!!!! I missed the Magic Lantern. Glad to hear its open again!

I just found this blog through the spokesman. We've been away for 2 years and plan on returning in June. Its nice to catch up on changes in the city. Makes me a little homesick.

I have fond memories of the Magic Lantern and the shops that were around it during it's first incarnation and revitalization. I'm glad to see a well done redux.
