Instead of creating a new thread every time I post a get together, I thought it best to create one thread and I'll just post here when something is being planned.

Feel free to post events here too (am guessing it's okay with mods)! It's been so much fun getting to know people, am sure we all have various interests and upcoming events we'd like to share.

Here's a new one that I'll be attending and hoping others might find of interest:

Slanted Rock - Slanted RockBrewing Company

Slanted Rock Brewing Company get together at TGI Friday's - 16225 N Marketplace Blvd, Nampa, ID

Wednesday, March 9th - 6 to 9 PM

Hanging out at TGI Fridays, giving away a pint glass when you order a Slanted Rock beer!

I recently went on a trolley tour of Boise, very interesting. Lots of history and fun facts about Boise, and Idaho in general.

Highly recommend! Also had lunch at Elmer's, pretty good!

Boise Township Tours - Trolley Tours of Historic Boise

Elmer's Restaurants - Welcome to the Family

And, looking forward to this!

If you're new to the area, or even if not...there are several large, and very active, Meetup groups in Boise. "Boise Baby Boomers" for all those in that age group, and "New to Boise". Thought I'd share!

Oh, I hope you had a good time! Isn't the trolley operator a hoot!? I wish now, that I'd recorded her as there was so much interesting info. that I'd like to look up on-line, but it went by so fast. Or, maybe it's just that I'm getting old.

I may be helping out with the "New to Boise" group, so if anyone has any ideas of events, tours, locations, etc. you've enjoyed, as a newcomer, or even if you've were born and raised here, please pass them on!

Oh, here's another interesting spot...it's actually a lot smaller than I'd anticipated, but a fun way to spend an hour or two.

The Hyde Park area of Boise, a few cute shops. Check out Hyde and Seek (more for women, guys might be bored), and right across the street from them is a pretty good restaurant. Small toy store there too, but I didn't go inside. Only a few stores, wish there were more, but worth a look if you're in the area.

The Northend - Boise's historic neighborhood online, schools, politics, real estate, history, hyde park, and more

What they need is a great brewery! :-)

Thanks, BB2012, we did enjoy our tour. We were the only ones on the bus. There were several others that had booked but they didn't show up. The guide is very entertaining. Sure have been a lot of mischievous teens in Boise history!

I love that Hyde and Seek store and my husband does, too. Next time you're out that way you should stop in at Goody's for ice cream or old time candy.
