MetroSpokane Sneak Peek: FOX Theater Unveiled
Be sure and GET FLASH...
The last time we were in the FOX was just prior to the start of the restoration work. The upstairs theater walls had been removed and for the first time we were looking at the space as it had been designed in 1931. So when we heard that on Saturday night a reception for donors was taking place we had to be there to see for ourselves the results of these past few years of restoration work.
We were floored by what we discovered. In no uncertain terms the restoration of this theater is staggeringly beautiful. From the art deco murals to the jaw-dropping sunburst light fixture the space is amazing. For anyone who is a fan of architecture, Spokane's history, or even if your only connection is a $1 movie you saw there in 1998, you must see what a gift our city has been given by way of this restoration...and then donate. Here's to Spokane, turning the corner.
Looks fantastic. Now if someone could only persuade the owners of Macy's to remove the 1950s facade from the Palace building . . .

I'm all for it. I would be willing to help organize one. Though it's not much, it would really say something. The beginning of a huge environmental movement...
