Spokane is where I am from, my home. Many people like to call it Spokompton, I think that Spokanphetamine would be just as appropriate as it is commonly called the meth capital.
Spokane is actually two cities, Spokane and Spokane Valley. But it uses one bus system as they are attached anyways.
We get a lot of gangstas who come up from California. Crips, Bloods, Surenos, Nortanos, Hells Angels, 18th Street, they're all here. Thing is our newspaper, the Spokesman Review lists the crimes that they commit as anonymous, when they do list them, everything is hush hush here. Must be to keep the gangs from gaining even more notoriety. IDK.
There are really a lot of homeless people here, and the population is majority conservative.
Then there are the different sections of town, the South Hill is where the better off financially live, downtown has many pawnshops and Riverfront Park, Northtown has head shops, a big mall, and lots of tweakers, the East Valley is the same, it also has head shops, a mall and lots of tweakers.
The best thing about Spokane is the forest area that it is in and the mild weather, not too hot during the summer and not too cold during winter.
Oh, and Bloomsday and Hoopfest make the downtown mad busy. Good for getting into fights.

*Walking downtown in Spokane*
Homeless Man: Do you have a dollar?
Me: If I did would I be walking?
Homeless Man: Do you have beer?

Get the Spokane mug.The meth, mullet, and hell hole of the world. Nothing but white trash and white supremacy located in this industrial town where depression originated. The people here feel way too optimistic about their town and the attractions it brings which include the worlds fair in the 70's and a lousy street race called bloomsday. If it wasn't for Gonzaga University, this town would be a nuclear testing site!

Spokane, Wa is located 300 miles east of Seattle, and 25 miles west of the Idaho state line. Also know as Spokangeles, Spokompton, or Spookaloo. Spokane has made National headlines over the last few years, due to its crooked cops. Police shootings of innocent citizens on the streets of Spokane have been on the rise over the last three years, and someone is shot cold blooded on an average of every 6 months.
Spokane, consists of a population of around 200,000 people. It has the poorest district in the State of Washington known as Hillyard. The city consists of more Potholes than people. The average median income is just over 30k a year, and the people who are making this kind of money are in the top 33% of the populaton. The other 66% are either unemployed, homeless, or work for around $10 an hour or less. Driving in Spokane may be were the definition of "road rage" was born. Picture yourself driving in a city that is locked into a "Sunday Afternoon Drive" mentality all day, every day, and you will get the picture of what it is like to drive in Spokane. Spokane is stuck in the 80's, and it's not uncommon to see a dude in his 50's rolling around town on a bmx bike, sporting a mullet and acid washed jeans, listening to Whitesnake. Spokane consists of 90% White population and the other 10% Black and other race. Spokane has one of the worst gang problems in America per capita. On the good side, Spokane has one of the largest downtown Wi-fi hot spots, which covers most of the downtown area. The climate usually brings a considerable amount of snow in the winter and has 6 ski resorts within 2 hours of the city. The summers are dry and outdoor recreation is plentiful. Real Estate and Rentals are affordable, and the air is still fresh! Spokane, Washington USA is no longer accepting people moving in from out of state. The city is Full!

Get the Spokane, Washington USA mug.You know that a city is truly awful when, even on the main street, buildings are boarded up and the parking lots boasting the most cars are Goodwill, Pawn One, the army surplus and Spokane Discount. That’s right; Spokane Discount. This town is trash. Another good indicator of trashdom is when the prize for being the twentieth caller to the local Top 40 station is a free tattoo at Silver Safari. And what does the dumb cow who wins want to get emblazoned on her skin? “Cherries!” she cries. “On the back of my neck!” I guess that will look really good when you’re lining up at Social Security with your two grade-schoolers, eight months preggers, Ford Pinto rotting outside with a “This is America! Speak English!” bumper sticker stuck on its ass. Don’t for a second imagine that you could leave your snotty offspring in the car, however, because Spokane has enough registered sex-offenders per capita to keep the Spokesman Review’s opinion page occupied until the next time a homophobic mayor solicits local high school boys online. I’m sorry, did I get a little off track? The only track I’m really interested in is I-90 West. Let me reiterate: I hate Spokane.
People who use the work "Spokompton" to describe this awful hell-hole are usually not trying to be clever or bad-ass. They're most likely just trying to explain how ghetto Spokane is. "Spokrapton" is my personal favorite and I like to think I made it up, but I imagine others have come up with this monkier before.

Get the Spokane mug.(also maybe referred to as "charlestokanite", however, this falls into the category of slang)
A reference to the widespread bonds of friendship, and culture formed between inhabitants of Charleston South Carolina, and Spokane Washington This does not simply refer to a couple friendships formed, but a widespread phenomena which arises from the fact that in the United States Air Force an extremely common assignment combo is Charleston AFB, then Fairchild (Spokane) AFB, and back to Charleston AFB. Specifically, this culture exists because of the moving back and forth across the country of Air Force personnel and their families, and the resulting interaction with both Charlestonians and Spokanites. It is this interaction that has formed a distinct bridge between the liberal, coffee-loving, granola eating personality of the northwest, and the laid back, redneck, sweet tea slurping which defines the south.
Unique features of the Spokanicharlestonian culture include:
-a running discourse drawing paralells between muddin', and snowboarding
-a general obsession with the other city
-a thriving trade via UPS of sc goodies such as boiled peanuts or grits, for wa goodies such as exceptional coffee.
-extreme dependence on the social site "facebook" for the maintenance of said culture

Get the Spokanicharlestonian mug.Another nickname for the city of Spokane in Washington State USA. This nickname began growing in popularity when some Spokane residents began to notice similarities between their surroundings and the pictures of dusty towns in Afghanistan being shown on TV news.
