NOT BIG ENOUGH
Rapping master Notorious B.I.G. is deserving of a killer documentary, given his outsized importance to hip-hop history and his tragic assassination at just 24.
Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell is not that definitive movie, but it does have some things worth seeing, particularly a ton of homemade videos shot by one of his childhood friends who joined Biggie for his rise to fame and violent end. This story is told mostly through close friends and family (lots of Puff Daddy and Biggie s mom), and the love comes through. But a lack of any hip-hop historians to put Biggie into cultural context makes this less than a warts-and-all picture of the man. (DAN NAILEN)

Spokane Transit Authority
SPOKANE, Wash. Spokane Transit Authority has unveiled their first ever zero-emission battery electric buses, which are planned to fully launch with the city’s rapid transit City Line project in 2022.
The buses are manufactured by New Flyer in St. Cloud, Minnesota and are powered by a 320 kilowatt-hour energy storage system that runs for 120 miles per charge. They arrived in town in late December for testing and planning.
City Line is Spokane’s planned bus rapid transit system, which will run from Browne’s Addition through downtown and the University District up to Spokane Community College. The service will launch in 2022 with 10 City Line buses.

re you exhausted? Exhausted of this pandemic and its isolation? Exhausted of having a hundred-year national financial crisis or environmental crisis every 10 years? Exhausted of national politics that seek division and not collaboration? Exhausted of the national media who give opinion disguised as news? Exhausted of social media bitterness and anger? Well, me too. What do we do about it? With all that is around us to cause despair, I am reminded when I look out my window of how grateful I am for the place we all call home. There is something hopeful about Spokane how it is constantly reinventing itself. When we emerge from this pandemic, in Spokane it will be with momentum.
