School district offices in heart of Cd'A
The Coeur d'Alene School District administrative offices will be the new occupant of the 21,500-square-foot building at 1400 Northwood Center Court in mid-February following the exodus of the occupants whose names are still on the building sign. Although a more central location than the school's long-time home at 311 N. 10th St., the new place is a bit awkward to find; it's north off Ironwood Drive east of Northwest Boulevard on the same road that goes into Outback Steakhouse.
The administration's new space is nearly double the old place, which is crowded for 66 employees. It will be demolished to provide a play area for the adjacent Sorensen Elementary School. Hours will remain 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:30 to 4:30 Fridays. Phone 664-8241.
Three occupants leave Northwood
The civil engineering firm of Tri-State Consulting Engineers is moving from the above building to Suite 103 of the Riverstone Two building at 1859 N. Lakewood Drive.

Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. Phone 665-9502.
The full-service law firm of Elsaesser Jarzabek Anderson Elliott Macdonald and Fegelein is moving Monday to Suite 102 of the Global Credit Union building at 320 E. Neider Ave. (across from CostCo).

Now for the Tidbits
- "Full-steam ahead" was all a spokesman for WinCo would say regarding plans for the new grocery store's multi-acre site at The Crossroads development bounded by Appleway, Ramsey Road and Marie Avenue. The plan comprises a huge main building with three occupants and six business pads.
- The Hayden Corner Store (convenience store, deli and wine market) at Fourth Street and Prairie Avenue won't open until April. More later.
- A female can be a "pal" or "buddy" although the dictionary says these "good friend" terms are usually associated with males.
- A reader wants to remind us that "few" (a countable amount) and "less" (usually a measured amount) are not interchangeable.
- Another reader emailed that a person with blond hair sometimes is called "flaxen-haired" since flax is yellow and "tow" is another word for flax or hemp. Hmm. Almost 50 years ago my Montana journalism professor said my hair looked like "low-grade flax." Wish it still did.
- She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still.
