1987 Spokane Indians at the mall - Monte Brooks

There is not much online about "The Depot" - it was a men's and women's clothing store that originated in Lewiston, ID and had a few locations in Idaho and Washington. The chain closed down in the early 1990s. A 1985 Spokesman-Review interview with the store's merchandise buyer was quite similar to the one later given by Harvey's Fine Clothes (see Tony Lewis's card). The "Miami Vice" look was big for men here too, as was denim in a variety of colors.
