The yellow behemoth, measuring an estimated 20 feet in length, was spotted dangling from the roof of the historic Davenport Hotel. Witnesses reported seeing the banana swaying in the wind, its peel glistening in the sunlight. Initial speculation suggested that it was a marketing stunt by a local business. However, inquiries to the hotel and nearby establishments yielded no answers. “We’re as baffled as everyone else,” said Davenport Hotel spokesperson Emily Smith. “We have no idea how it got there or who’s responsible.” Police were called to the scene and cordoned off the area for safety reasons. Traffic was diverted as curious onlookers gathered to take photos and share their disbelief on social media. “It’s like something out of a cartoon,” said resident Sarah Jones. “I can’t believe I’m actually seeing this.” The mystery of the giant banana has sparked a flurry of theories on social media. Some believe it’s a viral marketing campaign, while others think it’s a prank or an art installation. Officials have not yet determined how the banana was placed there or how it is secured. Experts from the fire department are scheduled to inspect the structure and attempt to remove the fruit. “We’re taking this very seriously,” said Police Chief Craig Meidl. “We’re working to ensure public safety and find the individuals responsible for this unauthorized act.” In the meantime, the giant banana has become an unexpected tourist attraction, with people flocking to downtown Spokane to witness the bizarre spectacle. “This is definitely one for the books,” said local tour guide Matt Jenkins. “Spokane is known for its quirky character, but this takes the banana split.”
