I lived in Boise 5 years and I loved it- if you can get past the conservative politics the city itself is wonderful! you have great resturants (the kulture klatch, bar gernika, saffron, and the taco truck!) art ( boise art museum rocks!) and natural wonders- there are 50 natural hotsprings with in 50 miles- try skinny dippers! they are perfect!
I miss you boise- but Brooklyns cool too!
