The place will have indoor and seasonal outdoor seating and a gift shop with "T's and Totes" (T-shirts and tote bags). The opening should be in late fall.

Now for the Tidbits!
- Watch for news on Pinot's Palette and a hookah lounge on Fourth Street, Peterson's Family Foods on East Sherman, a Premiere Discount store in Post Falls and the UPS/Post Box Store on Government Way.
- Aaargh. The TV news-weather people drive a former college journalism instructor goofy. They say "further" and "towards" and write "80's" when they should say "farther" (for distance) and "toward" (no "s") and write "80s" (it's plural, not possessive).
- Why is gas a dime more in Post Falls than Coeur d'Alene?
- "Dime" is from the Latin "decime" and French "disme" for "a 10th part." "Penny" comes from Old English "pence" and Germanic words for the smallest denomination in a coin system.
- Notice all the "Now Hiring" signs in Coeur d'Alene.
