thanks to Verna, I have identified the hotel in downtown Spokane where the restaurant OASIS ROOM was in 1940s. Does anyone have more recent historical information on the fate of this hotel and restaurant or memories of such? Apparently there is a book named "Downtown Spokane Images 1930-1940" by Carolyn Nunemaker. Does anyone know of such a book? ...possibly about 1998. Maybe someone can tell me how to contact a Spokane historian? I would love a photo of the hotel and Oasis room. thanks Liz of BC

thanks Verna, at least I now know there was an OASIS restaurant..not dreaming?..liz

The "Oasis" was in the Dessert Hotel. I also liked that resturant. Was bn & raised in Spokane, but have been in CA. since 1947.
