Sometimes Spokane feels urban
There's a little convenience store just west of the STA Plaza on Sprague.
Once, waiting in line there to buy a newspaper, I told the guy behind me that the store looked like a movie set that would be the scene of a holdup.
Anyway, just a bit ago, I was in line there again. And I noticed that black-and-white printouts of security cam photos were displayed above one of the two cash registers. The photos show people in the process of shoplifting. I think one of them featured a guy trying to stuff a family-size soft drink bottle down his pants.
Would have loved to see him try to walk out with what SNL's two "wild and crazy guys" referred to long ago as a prodigious bulge.
