Boise

I drove through but didnt stop. I would like to get back one day and spend some time in Boise, Is it any different than your avg small sized city? Worth some time?

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!

Even though I rated Boise as not worth visiting, it’s not that bad. But still not worth visiting in my opinion, i.e. spending vacation money to travel here? Bleh. Having to travel here on business? Not so bleh.

Although, I must say that the new restaurant in downtown called, 8th Street Wine Co. has delicious food.

But, Maggie Moo’s raspberry ice cream? It actually tastes like the smell of lipstick. Almost like rose ice cream but without the good taste.

All in all, downtown is a clean area, surrounded by farm land. Travel further from downtown, and I’m sure you’ll hit those outdoor recreational sights that makes Boise purty.

I have to mention that the people aren’t, um, eclectic – so to speak. At least, compared to what I’m accustomed to…

Guess what? We are not located in Iowa. Nor are we potato farming Nazi’s. We work, live, breathe, laugh and love just like everyone out there. You may recognize us now if you are a college football fan for BSU’s win at the fiesta bowl in 2006. Personally I am not a BSU fan, but that doesn’t make it any more invalid.

Boise is a beautiful city with an active nightlife and many tourist attractions. There is a lot of history in our state. The summers are hot and dry (80-116 degree highs) and the winters can be cold but are fairly mild (50-20 degree lows). We used to have a lot of snow in the valley, but not so much anymore. I may snow for a day, but it typically melts by the second.

There are a lot of outdoor activites and is a good place to raise a family where the cost of living is decent and houses are cheap compared to major markets.

If you are heading toward Washington or Oregon, make a stop and enjoy our city, the most eclectic city in Idaho! I recommend starting in Downtown Boise. Stay at one of the hotels located in the heart of the city; catch a hockey game; go to dinner at various restaurants; watch a movie after you peruse the clothing; coffee and art shops located downtown; grab some icecream or sushi on your way to a nightclub for a drink or dancing or the comedy club for a laugh…all, of which, are within walking distance of each other!

Just stopped overnight to sleep on a road trip so I would have to say that I would definetly want to go back and explore

Boise, hmmm.,
I have had some good times, and there are fun activites around..
just dont lket the mormonism infect you! go snowbaording.
tube the river in the summer and brink deer

Its beautiful and surrounded by so many recreational areas.
I grew about 20 miles from here, and it was always where we went to go to movies, and various other activities.

i’m going to boise for x mas to see my father. i will be up there on the 21st through x mas! see you on the greenbelt! :)

While attending Cenntennial Job Corps in Nampa witch is about 20 miles away I made Boise my home for the weekends. Requently staying in the hotels on the weekends and exploring the downtown sector as a hobby. Its a beautiful place and its so mellow. Its awesome, i hope i could maby live there for a little while

Boise is the biggest city in the area of Southern Idaho, and therefore offers a lot more to do than the surrounding towns. Things I have done in Boise include visiting friends and family, going shopping, to the movie theater (Edwards), to a wedding (my brother’s), roller skating, walking, and all that usual stuff. It’s nothing extraordinary, but it is something.
