There's a weird little place in Spokane that I was told I really have to see. They said it was shaped like a milk bottle, and oddly enough, that was its name. (I was informed by one of our readers that the building has since been covered though; does anyone have old pictures they have to share?)

The Milk Bottle - One of Spokane's Weirdest Shaped Buildings

I discovered this weird, but beloved, Spokane milk bottle-shaped building not in person, mind you, but online. It was mentioned by somebody in a thread on the Weird Spokane community.

The milk bottle-shaped building belongs to Mary Lou's Milk Bottle Desserts (802 W Garland Ave). They sell homemade ice cream, milkshakes, huckleberry cobbler, brownie sundaes, apple pie fries, elephant ears, root beer floats, and party cakes.

The Milk Bottle website says that huckleberry was the first flavor they made. It was so popular that it helped them expand their business into a catering company that services Eastern Washington and parts of Idaho.

 

 

Other Weird Spokane Places to Explore on a Side Trip

Other weird places to visit in Spokane include a staircase inside the Greenwood Cemetery that is so creepy I can't even show it to you. That's only just because I don't have any cool pictures--maybe you can send me some? Many people say the stairs are haunted, and they hear screaming in the middle of the night there.

I've also heard that the Waikiki Springs Trailhead is haunted, too. Wait, how did we end up talking about all this haunted stuff?

Let's rollerskate back around to the building shaped like a milk bottle. Some people yearn to give it a different color other than white, and some people just like taking pics of the building at night.

Experience One of the Most Scenic Hikes on the Oregon Coast

In 1806 Captain Clark of the Corps of Discovery described what is now Ecola State Park in Oregon as “…the grandest and most pleasing prospects which my eyes ever surveyed…”. I completely agree with Captain Clark and that’s why I make it a point to visit the park, which is near Cannon Beach, each year. And, there’s no better time than right now! Scroll down and take a gander at nature's glory.
