As we mentioned a couple of months ago, The Big Dipper, located at 171 S. Washington Ave. in Downtown Spokane is re-opening as a full live music venue / club. The Big Dipper's new life is coming as Dan Hoerner of the band, Sunny Day Real Estate has purchased the business and is now renovating the building and adding a fire sprinkler system to allow for larger events in the landmark Downtown business.
