City of Cheney

Some may feel isolated in the five-mile radius of the town of Cheney, Washington. This is the home of Eastern Washington University, so the student population is fairly high.

Spokane houses numerous unique bars, restaurants, and hangouts that Cheney can’t compete with. That is, unless the residents don't want to make the drive. Why not take a look at some of the hidden gems Cheney has to offer?

1. The Mason Jar

The Mason Jar is a coffee and bistro shop that offers a selection of wines and beers. The products and food are all local. The owner even owns his own farm, which supplies the business.

This isn’t just a place to sit down and socialize, it's also a place to enjoy the live events and music that they have going on almost every week. The Mason Jar just expanded, so now there's also more room.


2. Monterey’s Bar and Grill

Instead of driving over 10 miles to go to Spokane for a happy hour, stop into Monterey’s. They have deals going on every day and they don't just involve alcohol. Monterey’s has a full menu of nachos, specialty pizzas, and popular appetizers.

If there are any broke college kids looking for a budget saver, this is the place.


3. The Paved Recreational Trail

If you enjoy jogging, bicycling, rollerblading, or simply just going for a walk, Cheney has a comfortable path to do so. This path is paved, so it is easy to do any of those recreational activities that residents may enjoy in a comfortable manner.


4. Eastern Washington University’s Theaters

EWU has two theaters that are holding plays and shows every month. This is a place for students or Cheney residents who enjoy theater to come and watch the specular productions made by students and faculty.

They also beat the price of most of the shows that customers can find in Spokane.


5. Eastern Washington Art Gallery

EWU has an art gallery on campus that anybody can come and enjoy. If there are any art gurus who do not feel like commuting to Spokane to enjoy an art-filled night, take a look at some of the art pieces created by EWU students.


Cheney is often under-appreciated by students and residents. Take a minute and take advantage of all that this little piece of Washington has to offer its population. It could save money and a commute.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
