Kudos for Donating New Idaho Falls Park along Snake River
I could not tell from the PR article if it was the local Smith (Automotive) Group or a person by the name of Smith that donated the land for our new city park, but I think that was awesome for them to do that.
The land is described as on the west bank, just north of […]
Idaho Falls Underground Society?
Shocking to all of us as it might seem, there indeed does exist an underground society in the Idaho Falls area today. Only partially and remotely uncovered, there must be someone out there that knows more???
A trip to a local upscale massage/spa parlor, which is frequented by more than one thousand people a […]
Idaho Lawsuit Caps Signal Class Warfare, Lack of Respect, and Suppression of Justice
Brock Higham recently won a $5.1 million jury award from his lawsuit against East Idaho Regional Medical Center (EIRMC). Debate raged about the lawsuit merits, whether there was any proof of EIRMC negligence, and if EIRMC employees destroyed documentation of their negligence.
However, the real story is that Higham will only be able to collect […]
Free Summer Kids Movies at Edwards Theater
Our local Edwards theater in Ammon (Grand Teton Stadium 14) is showing some free kids movies again this summer.
This can be a great way to get your family out of the house, get free entertainment, and sit in air conditioned and comfortable seating for a couple hours. Be advised the theaters fill up, so get […]
Renouncing Political Party Membership Sends Clearest Message
If someone you cared about asked you for money and support, then acted recklessly, immaturely, even criminally with your money and support, how would you respond?
If it was your teenager, what would you do?
If it was an alcoholic or drug-abusing sibling, what would you do?
If it was your political party, what would […]
Strange Duets Musical Mashup Concert Festival Proposed
Back in the 90’s Aerosmith and Run DMC put out a mashup of “Walk This Way“, which was fairly popular, if only due to the disparate genres being mixed collaboratively. Since then, not many cross-genre collaborations have happened, I think there was a country and R&B mashup last year.
A currently popular YouTube mashup features […]
A Tale of Quad Cities or The Great Black Hole of Ada
I have done my fair share of wiki articles and somehow I came on the Metro stats for Idaho Falls. Idaho Falls is 330 on the list with a 116,980 population. The United States Census Bureau defines an MSA as one or more adjacent counties or county equivalents that have at least one urban cluster […]
Your Chance to Influence Idaho Falls’ Dining and Retail Future
This is fourth Taylor-Crossing discussion thread at Idaho Falls. Obviously the Taylor Crossing development is that big of a deal in Idaho Falls. The previous discussion threads were Why Idaho Falls needs Taylor Crossing, Taylor Crossing Unveils Largest Bronze Eagles, and Do You Want a 13-14 Story Marriott Residence Inn Hotel/Condo at Taylor’s Crossing?
This thread […]
Overheard in Idaho Falls
People are imperfect.
People say silly or stupid things to each other daily.
Sometimes you overhear these things and it makes you laugh.
I hope you have read some of the short quips at overheardinnewyork.com Be aware of some extreme language at that site.
Since we already have a geographically-tied public forum, I figure it’s okay to […]
Reduce Idaho Falls Gas Use and Price Gouging
More than any tiny gas savings we could achieve with currently available methods, more than anything we need to reduce gas spending and gas consumption simply by reducing gasoline use.
Try biking. Try walking. Try carpooling. Try waiting and consolidating shopping trips. Try asking if some days can be worked from home. Try to reduce […]
Idaho Falls’ Top Traffic Tick-Offs
I think Idaho Falls needs to plan for the day we hit 100,000 residents, else we are planning to fail.
However, what and where are the top traffic spots in Idaho Falls that tick you off today, that you wish the city would fix ASAP?
The Boise newspaper had a weekly traffic column, where residents could write […]
The Savannah Berrey Trial: Justice or Not?
The Savannah Berrey case is over. The public has been presented with the evidence. The jury convicted her in a short time. Would you have convicted her based on the evidence presented?
A whisper was heard that firefighters were pretty sure the fire was not started by the marijuana pipe, but that they were not […]
