Headline in Spokane Spokesman-Review newspaper stated that we have come to the end of an era.
THE WHITE ELEPHANT at both Spokane stores is closing it's doors. For those not familiar, it was THE place to go for good deals on all kinds of gun and fishing related stuff. It was family run since 1946. Owner, John Connolly, passed away about a year ago, and his sons are of retirement age, and no longer wish to continue the business. They were closed yesterday to mark down pricing, and open today at 9AM, and will maintain social distancing. They said COVID 19 had a part in their decision, since they have been closed for about 3 months. I'll bet the line to get in will stretch to Pullman!
I, for one, am sad to see them go!
