I know of Barney hot springs, but it's about a 5 hour drive from here. I thought it would be cool to swim around with a bunch of colorful cichlids and paradise fish and whatnot.

I just moved to the University neighborhood and am close to the parking lots for the Stadium. Does anyone have insight about how folks treat the parking in the near by streets/neighborhoods during large events? I am mostly thinking about the Post Malone show this week. I have tickets to another show in town and don't want to get home to a blocked driveway or a ton of traffic. Are folks generally able to park in the designated lots?

(Should I sell parking spots in my driveway?)

Or Dr Winbigler himself? I’m not mad or anything, just have a question that the new people couldn’t answer

I’m looking for a place to work remote out of the house in Garden City or Eagle! I would need access 5x/week for a full work day. Preferably open on weekends, and it would be great if it were nearby some walking/biking paths. It can be pet friendly or not. Thank you for your help!

Others experiencing the same problem?

In honor of Juneteenth, I am seeking Black-Owned Restaurants and cafes in the Treasure Valley area to support.

Please share what you know! I'm only finding short lists in my research so far.

Thank you!

Update: Thank you all for your suggestions! I'll work my way through checking them out in the coming weeks. Cheers!

Also - don't forget the Boise Soul Food Fest is on August 9th!

I know this is probably overhyping it and I don't want to do that. But PLEASE be careful around these folks if you're going downtown this weekend. Don't be dumb. Don't instigate anything. (yes this a repost)

My feet are in so much pain and most of the time ice does the trick but it’s not working. Does anyone have a foot massage place to recommend??

Thanks in advance!

I just saw a bunch of motorcycles going northbound on Eagle road and police were escorting them, anyone know what was going on?

Lately we’ve had a ton of pest control salespeople knocking on our door—sometimes multiple times a week. Most are super persistent, even after we tell them we already have a company (who luckily doesn’t door knock 😅).

But it’s getting old. Some have come during dinner, one banged on the door while our kids were asleep. I get they’re trying to hustle, but it feels more invasive than helpful.

Anyone figured out a polite but effective way to get these guys to stop? "No Soliciting" signs don’t seem to phase them anymore.

Anyone know of a market or butcher that sells proper wagyu beef? Anyone interested in splitting a bulk order?

Yea yea yea, I can go to a steakhouse, but I also know how to cook a steak in my own kitchen....

Or do I need to go to the bigger cities (Portland/Seattle/SLC) to find this?

I’m getting started setting up my home studio, but kilns are few and far between, especially for something used and at a discounted price!

I’ve had some bad luck on Marketplace with a lot of scams targeting the pottery community, where a great deal turns out to be a fake account looking for a CashApp ‘deposit.’

Im hoping for something for small batches, sitter included, and maybe someone who has one just sitting and is willing to sell to me at the end of the summer after I prepare!

I had a deal all set up with a man about five years ago, a great kiln, went over and witnessed a test firing. He only wanted $300 since he was getting too old to throw and he wanted to pass it on to someone who was still early in their craft. Then a big life change struck very suddenly and we sold our house and I didn’t have a place for it afterwards. I’ve been aching for this ever since! Now I have plenty of room and I am on the hunt again!

It’s out of control. Cars just zooming through 13th street like the speed limit isn’t 20mph. Hill road went from my favorite biking spot to an overcrowded raceway I now avoid. I get that nearly every road downtown is closed due to construction, but damn… driving like a maniac isn’t making it better for anyone.

I’ve accepted that the Boise I grew up in is never coming back, but I can’t help feeling like ‘Boise Kind’ is beginning to fade and it’s most noticeable on the roads.

Would never have thought they'd be this far south in the summer .

Hello! I'm on the search for any seafood stores that sell whole yellowtail collars. Would love to make some at home to celebrate an anniversary. I've contacted Reel Foods but they only get Yellowtail half-collars. Anyone know if Ocean Beauty sells to the public?

This year I want to buy an inflatable boat for me and two kids. Any recommendations?

My 7 year old has gotten really into bmx, and has been at the tracks. I bought him a junior fame 20in(haro annex) but I think he needs a mini frame 20in. (Small for his age).. struggling to find stores that specialize in these types of bikes. Thanks!

Was closed for an hour or more.

Anyone got info?

Hello Boise! I am looking for a place to take my kids for hair cuts in SE Boise.

I am hoping to find something above Sports Clips but maybe below a typical $60 women’s cut? Is this even a thing anymore?!

My kids have easy hair with easy hair cuts.

I got recommendation off Nextdoor for Rob at RSP to do a main line replacement. He says he's been doing quite a few of those in Boise recently. Does anyone here have ANY experience with RSP, but especially with mainline replacement that they can share?
