boise history

Boise State University's Football schedule was recently released and the season is gearing up. Do you know the story of how Boise State acquired its now famous blue turf? The story behind how it all got started is as fun and interesting as the blue turf itself.

The home at 1700 E Warm Springs Avenue is one of those homes that demands that you do a double take nearly every time you drive, walk or run past it.

When St. Luke’s announced their expansion plans, Boise history lovers rallied to save several historic homes that could have quickly been slated for demolition.

Not long after, still 1916, a circus came through Mountain Home. A monkey decided to retire from his life in the circus and escaped. He was found later in the desert of Mountain Home, well after the traveling circus had moved on.

Bizarre roadside attractions like these are a fun way to break up unplanned potty breaks and little passengers screaming “Are we there yet?”

Even the proudest Idahoans will agree that driving east on I-84 from Boise can get rather monotonous.

Some favorite costumes are when it is more than just a costume but when the person encompasses the character fully. While many have tried it few have been able to do it as spot on and successfully as a local Boise Sportscaster back in 2013.

How familiar are you with Huston, Idaho?

Many of us miss “the good old days” so traveling back in time to see what some of the fast food restaurants we have fond memories of used to look like is so much fun!

The Sears catalog was kind of like Amazon before Amazon’s time. They truly did sell EVERYTHING!
