I grew up here…was SO glad to get away from the land of big hair, strip malls, pickup trucks and gun-racks. And if you aren’t Mormon well, you just won’t fit in so well. They do however have a few things going for them. Their downtown is starting to liven up a little. I still love going to Bar Gernika which has been there for years. The music scene has always been mostly decent for live bands. They have some beautiful parks and scenery. Floating the Boise River in the summer is a lot of good fun. But mostly, if I never went back I wouldn’t shed any tears.
