Name that intersection #1

Gti1 Think you know Spokane?  Prove it.  Welcome to a new feature here on MetroSpokane.  We put up a current or historic image of an intersection in Spokane and you email us the correct name of the intersection.  First person to correctly identify the intersection wins a sweet T-Shirt from Spokaloo.net

This is an area we only recently discovered due to a tip from a friend of ours.  We're starting out with a tough one.  Email us your guess and at 3pm we'll unveil the answer and the winner.

UPDATE:  So we thought this one would have most of you stumped.  The photo above is looking west down 5th Ave at the intersection of 5th and Fiske [GMAP].  Overall four people guessed correctly, but the first one with the correct answer was Josh Hall.

Josh says:

"On E. 5th, inbetween Fiske and Havanna in the E. Central Neighborhood - I get my hair cut there, at Larry's Barbershop!"

And David Blaine had this tibit of history to add:

"Now a ghost town but there was a time when I lived on 5th and Magnolia and a trip down to Little Taste Of Philly for a cheesesteak and Horesman's store for some cheap beer was the highlight of an evening.  There is also a foreboding, windowless Masonic Temple nearby."

We underestimated just how well you know this city...a mistake we will not repeat!  Thanks to all for playing.

Cross-promotion. I like it!

Corner of Fiske and 5th ave

Speaking of unknown intersections... I want to know the story behind this strange street layout.

I get my hair cut near there all the time at Larry's Barber shop!!!

The T intersection at the top of the maple street toll bridge overpass (above the 93 community artwork). Broadway and ??? elm

Local, I was going to guess the same place.

"...only recently discovered?" "...guessed correctly?" You need to get out more often.

Thanks for sharing Transplant...

"Now a ghost town" I must protest!!! Not so, not so...we live on Haven, which is on the same block. Our neighborhood is no ghost town...we have friendly neighbors and lots of children in our neighborhood. We rate a 65 on www.walkscore.com, due to local stores, parks and easy bus access. We have the great Ben Burr Trail and one of the best sledding hills in Spokane. We have a active community center. I pastor a thriving church here called Jacob's Well Church that is restoring the old Horseman's building and working on opening a neighborhood artist cafe. We host regular visual artists exhibits in our building and host local live music. We run a tutoring class for the neighborhood's 50 plus refugees from Burma and host family movies nights and lots of children activities too. There are no ghosts around here.
