Description
In his new travelogue, Foster Church guides adventurers―lifelong residents of the Northwest and visitors alike―to the small communities beyond the state’s well known urban center.
As in his previous book, Discovering Main Street: Go back and forth Adventures in Small Towns of the Northwest, Church employs the finesse of his Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalism. He also shares his passion for encouraging tourists down less traveled paths―paths that curve beside valleys and wheat fields, Go back and forth along orchards and straits, and abut mountains and rivers.
Once inside these small towns, local flavors abound. Church reveals how each and every community’s unique character informs its hospitality and culture: In Morton, the abandoned Roxy movie theater was once re-opened to host lectures and live performances. Within the the city of Palouse, a once-lonesome farming community Within the Washington wheat country is now home to antiques stores and art galleries, and in Pomeroy, a pioneering legacy is celebrated in a full of life annual festival.
With maps, photographs, and recommendations for more than thirty-five towns in all corners of the state, Turning Down the Sound vastly expands the resources to be had for readers and travelers inquisitive about encountering what Church calls American tourism’s last frontier: its small towns.
