Here are the top stories in Spokane today:

1. AM Cannon and Logan Peace Parks will each get new playground equipment to replace the aging and damaged equipment currently there. Construction will begin later this month and is expected to take a few weeks. The Spokane City Council is funding roughly $160,000 worth of equipment. (KXLY Spokane)
2. Mike Ellis, his brother Brian and their cousin Todd started an 100-mile walk on Thursday at the Washington-Idaho border in snow and heavy wind. The trio are walking around the Spokane area to raise money for Quilts of Valor, a non-profit with local chapters that make quilts for past and current service members. (KREM.com)
3. The City of Spokane said on Tuesday it will be pausing curbside yard and food waste pickup for the winter. The last day will be Dec. 3, 2021. Just because curbside pickup is put on hold, that doesn't mean you can't keep recycling and composting food and yard waste. (KXLY Spokane)
