🌱 Downtown COVID Testing Site Reopens + Catalytic Converter Donation

Hello, neighbors! Carla Varner here with a brand-new Spokane Daily.

First, today's weather:

Cloudy. High: 57 Low: 41.

Here are the top three stories in Spokane today:

1. Curative reopened its downtown Spokane COVID testing site this week. The site is located at 1001 W. Second Ave in a shipping container in the parking lot at the CHAS Health Denny Murphy Medical Clinic. It will be offering COVID testing Tuesdays through Fridays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (Inlander)
2. Clark's Tires and Automotive stepped up to donate the catalytic converter that was stolen from a Spokane senior trip bus earlier this week. One of the Corbin Senior Activity Center's buses is back in business for free thanks to Clark's Tires and Automotive after two of the center's buses' catalytic converters were stolen within five days of one another. See a video of the incident at the link. (KHQ Right Now)
3. Legendary singer and songwriter Bob Dylan is heading to Spokane next month for his "Rough and Rowdy Ways" World Tour. The show will be held at the First Interstate Center for the Arts on May 28.
