Reed’s Dairy is Really Delicious
The small Reed’s Dairy store on west Broadway is a great local treat.
The ice cream is obviously their biggest draw. It is made fresh on site and they offer many interesting flavors. You can also take home a tub for about $5. Right now Reed’s has their seasonal pumpkin ice cream for only $3.50 per […]
Secret Idaho Falls Greenbelt Webcam
Maybe it is not such a secret, but few know about the greenbelt webcam that is available on the City of Idaho Falls website. Just kind of interesting to look at. Thought I would share it since the city does not seem to promote it. It would be nice to have more webcams around town. […]
Vucovich’s Generous Claims
The election is over, but something really struck in my craw that Steve Vucovich printed in his campaign materials.
First, I have to admit I was torqued at him anyways over the whole Kroc center debacle. Say what you will Steve about if the center will make or lose money, but you act as if you […]
Broadway Burger King is Uber-Fast
Fast food is fast food, and Burger King is Burger King. You either like it or hate it, or go through phases of liking and hating various fast food restaurants. However, the Burger King on Broadway is noteworthy for consistently having really fast drive-thru service. There is a play area inside, but bad parents often […]
Phoneswarm in Idaho Falls?
I came across an interesting site the other day, http://phoneswarm.com. This site posts a random payphone number and allows users to post comments on what they experienced when they called it.
Perhaps we could do something like this, but again focused on phones in the Idaho Falls area? Would it simply be a nuisance? Or could […]
Free online training videos for Office
OpenOffice, that is. Ever wish you could have Microsoft’s Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint), but cannot afford their price? OpenOffice is a free, open-source software that is the SAME AS the name-brand Office.
It looks just like Office 97, and does not have the uber-enhanced features that Office 2003 carries, but it opens and saves in standard […]
Can we get more roundabouts in Idaho Falls?
I love the few roundabout-style intersections we have around Idaho Falls. They process the traffic much faster, you usually do not have to completely stop, they introduce green plantings or pleasing environments to an intersection, and they do not need electric lights.
Of course my favorite roundabout has to be on the west side’s Taylor […]
BitTorrent: not your grandma’s download method
This post is a bit risky, but the knowledge is widespread (eeeeexcept in IF). The risk part is due to spreading information that could be used for digital piracy. We must disavow any use of this information that could be used for illegal activities.
BitTorrent. Ever hear of it? BitTorrent is an amazing technology invented by […]
2005 election
Bringing people together, so we can grow together. Hello, I am Louis “Huggie Bear†Sheppard, mayoral candidate for the city of Idaho Falls. I know that I am the diverse leader who will bring a new voice, look, and change that is needed for Idaho Falls and the people who reside in the […]
Introducing “Open Mike” thread
First let us state that we do not intend to ripoff the Post Register! IdahoFallz.com is designed to fill voids in Idaho Falls life that traditional mainstream media cannot address.
However, the letter to the editor section is always a source of amusement for locals. We all shake our heads at the tangents people go off […]
