Boise's Own Off-Topic Thread (Idaho City: restaurant, stores, safe)

[HDL]

Here is a place for New Comers and Old Timers alike just to share some general chit chat about Boise and the surrounding cities !

If you are searching out RELO info on our lovely state, then I kindly ask that you please either do a search on the Boise or Idaho Forums, or start your own thread !

This thread will be to just talk amongst ourselves about everyday type things .

Okay, let me start out by saying WOWWEE!!! Can you believe how nice the weather has been the last several days???! 50's and 60's !! I'm just absolutely loving it ! Any thoughts from our newcomers (or oldtimers -lol )?

its snowing here. I'm a huge fan. I hope when I move to Boise this summer I'll bring lots of snow with me...once winter comes around of course.

That weather sounds awesome~!! We hope to be experiencing winter, spring, summer, and fall in the Boise area sometime in the not too distant future!!

Maybe we will be neighbors !!!!!

Okay fellow CDFers and other peeps reading, more weather news ! Before I moved here in 200X , I always wondered if I could handle the cold weather and snow ! Suffice it to say, I'm definitely a believer in 'global warming' because I've found the weather to be fine 90% of the time .

Well, last night (errr...way early this morning ) at 4 am before I went to bed, it was lighty snowing with maybe close to an inch on the ground ! But this morning when I got up, there wasn't even a trace of it left .

Anybody here want to guess when the TV (i.e. Treasure Valley) will get some snow that lasts for more than a couple hours or 1 day ??? I'm thinking sometime in the next week or two !

forward to moving south and it would be totally kewl to know someone down that way other than my adult kids~!! For the last couple days we've had snow during the night. It is beautiful, but the down side is that it translates into shoveling - something I am not overly fond of... Although, the plus side is I definitely get some really good exercise by the time I finish shoveling our deck (60 feet long!), the front porch and walkway, the back patio and so on~!! Last night's snow was the really heavy, wet stuff and it seems like I've been working outside all day. Of course, it's warm and sunny, so that's a bonus for sure! Can you tell I'm conflicted here or what?

MAN, we sure miss the Mexican Restaurant at Fairview and Curtis. Can't remember the name of it but we LOVED their Arroz con Pollo (rice with chicken)

Happy Holidays to you! Safe traveling mercies and thanks for stopping by !!!

Hi HDL! Many thanks for the invite! Unfortunately, my company won't let me venture out any farther than OH, IN & KY these days (Maybe they think senility is setting in) So won't be able to take you up on the dinner offer just yet. However, we keep threatening to visit our old friends in ID, so we may just get back out there one day... Also, a "Merry, Merry and a "Happy, Happy" to you and yours!

driven through Idaho City a couple of times and stopped at the general store both times. Pretty neat store - reminds me of the general stores in Vermont. Personally, I don't know much about Idaho City other than it is a beautiful ride from Boise up that way. I think I had cell service, although I couldn't swear to it. If I'm correct in my recollection then Verizon Wireless has coverage in that area. If I'm incorrect, well I will have to attribute that to CRS Syndrome and apologize profusely.

During one of our passes through Idaho City, we met a very lovely woman (60-ish) picking up a few items at the general store. She relocated there after having been widowed and seemed to really be happy with her choice although she did say that she planned her trips into town (Boise) whenever she needed a "civilization fix".

Sorry I can't provide any truly worthwhile information on Idaho City - hopefully others will have more useful information for you.

My head is hurting from this blatant abuse of the smilie function.
