Spokane = Downtown Vespas!

 Eagle-eyed watchers of Spokane promotional media will have noticed a smart-looking couple astride two Vespa ET4s (with matching leather jackets!) in some of the Downtown Partnership's publications. Folks attending last weekend's "Live it Up!" tour of downtown condos may even have seen the two roving about, two-up, on Marla's light blue bike.

But now, here's our own Paul and Marla included on Spokane's Convention and Visitor's Bureau website, along with maybe a dozen other iconic images of Spokane. You know, slideshow on front page, featuring stuff everyone associates with Spokane: image of Riverfront Park...image of the Lower Falls...image of kayaker...image of golf course...mountain biker...image of Paul and Marla on Vespas!

To be fair, it's actually an older image, the same one used in the Downtown Partnership's materials (and even on their website). But when the shot makes our regional pantheon of pictures, we figure it's time to toast and roast.

To see the pair on the CVB site , just hit the refresh button until you see the "Lifestyle" series come up.
