Happy Easter!

Another perfect spring day in Boise.

Hello, Spring

Sunny and 70. Beautiful day.

Beauty-in-Waiting

Project car: $7,500. I think it's made up of several pieces/parts. Anyone know what its bones might be?

Construction Questions: What the Heck?

We have two large construction projects going on in Downtown Boise. This is the JUMP (Jack's Urban Meeting Place) site. I think the most common questions about this one is: What is that tower going to be?

Sunset Fire

Seriously, it looked there was a fire at sunset earlier this week.

Fake-Snake, I Hope

Seen at the Boise Flower and Garden Show last weekend. Kiddos loved the curiosity. Some snake-fearing parents, not so much.

Snow-Topped Mountain View from Downtown

Looking north from the top of the BoDo parking garage.

Drum Busker

Drumming for dollars in Downtown Boise.

No Skateboards...No Horses

The rules posted at a middle school in Boise.

Hair Salon Mural

Plenty of folks are packing their bags today. Spring break is next week for most schools.

Wild First Day of Spring

Rain, wind, hail, and a tornado sighting - capped off with a low rainbow. Happy spring!

Vintage Credit

Master Charter was the brand name between 1966 and 1979. Yet, this relic still lingers at some local businesses.

Is This What Happens When You Drink a Slushy?

Or, maybe it's an Icee. This critter is one of the Boise City utility box art series.

Royal Home Appliance

This vintage outdoor water heater belongs to a plumbing company on Veterans Memorial Parkway.

Around the World on Chinden

Two vintage globe-topped signs on Chinden Boulevard.

Popular Place Today

Nice weather makes this a common destination.

I Had No Idea This Was an Office

I've seen this house for literally decades, and all this time, I thought it was just graffiti on the side. Or, maybe the name of the people who lived there. Nope. It's a law office.

Drama Dog

This pink pooch is a mascot for Boise Contemporary Theatre.

Robo Ghost

A sign that long out-lasted the business. Robo was a coin-op car wash on Chinden. Land is "for sale."

Extreme Beauty Calls for Monkeys

Utility box art in Downtown Boise. This one is at the Record Exchange.

A Sure Sign of Better Weather

A kiddo climbing towards the blue sky.

Purple and Lost

In case you'r missing a glitten (glove-mitten combo). This is near the Bouquet.

City Llamas

A pocket of country. Happy weekend to you.

Boise Music History

Another peek inside the Boise150 Sesqui-shop during the installation of the music exhibit.

Monster in the Boise Sesqui Shop

He's right next to the giant chalkboard where Boiseans are supposed to write down their first concert. Mine was Journey. The Sesqui shop is part exhibit/part store to mark the sesquicentennial. The installation in progress is all about music. I'll feature a couple of preview photos tomorrow.

Love Shack?

Little, hidden surprises like this - I LOVE Boise!

Boiseans are Winter Weary?

I've heard many say they are ready for spring.

Combination

In the back room of a vintage shop in downtown Boise - there's a built-in safe. "Locked" open with empty, dusty shelves.

Wanna Buy a Bar?

This bar in Chinden was formerly known as Turf Club. That was confusing because the bar is near Les Bois Park horse-racing grounds at Expo Idaho, where there is a bar and restaurant called the Turf Club.

Garage Band In-training

At Boise Rock School. Cool they had one of the garage doors open so everyone could hear.

Fancy Stuff Store

The Davies Reid building. The business closed a few years ago and the structure is for sale. It has a castle-like features and mirrored entryway stone steps.
