Thank you Frank Vandersloot for the Awesome Fireworks

by BuddhAllahrist June 5, 2006

Love him or hate him, agree or disagree with his politics, buy or don’t buy his $4 soap bars, I think Frank Vandersloot has done a great thing for Idaho Falls with his annual fireworks show on the fourth of July.
Sure it’s a blatant advertisement for Melaleuca (even renaming it the ‘Melaleuca Freedom Celebration’). [...]

Local teens can sell water for summer cash

by the VP June 4, 2006

Idaho Falls teens often complain there’s a lack of jobs available to them here. Try this simple idea: selling bottled water.
The idea comes from this entrepreneur’s blog, and is basically buy cheap cases of bottled water and a bag of ice. Throw them in the family cooler and write “ICE COLD WATER $1″ in [...]

Kimball Mason and his cronies almost got away with it

by Joe Vandal June 3, 2006

Idaho Falls has had the wool pulled over our collective eyes by the liar, thief, and cheat that is Kimball Mason and his gang of cronies. I sat at his sentencing hearing, watched his children grieve over their father, heard the great things Kimball has done over his lifetime, and I too felt this was [...]

A straightforward idea to settle disputes among consenting adults and reduce aggression.
Is there one already? We know the first two rules are not to talk about Idaho Falls Fight Club, but how about a hint?
Legality, even among consenting adults?

I got excited when I read the headline Blogs are taking off in Idaho in today’s Post Register The West section. I wondered if they were finally going to acknowledge the existence of IdahoFallz.com. I saw the article was written by Corey Taule, who certainly knows about IdahoFallz.com because I tipped him off when Wikipedia [...]

Segway Rentals on Idaho Falls greenbelt

by Joe Vandal June 2, 2006

I thought I’d cap off a week of greenbelt business proposals by suggesting Segway rentals. You know the amazing two-wheeled (side-by-side rather than in-line like bicycles) personal vehicles that made a splash a few years ago but you don’t see many of because they cost about $5,000?

Paddle boat rental business on Snake River

by Joe Vandal June 1, 2006

I propose a paddle boat rental shop to be located on the greenbelt. It would need a dock for the boats, and may or may not function well with the previously suggested wheeled rental shop. It would seem the rental aspect dovetails, but the same business renting out both pedal vehicles and boats may be [...]

Idaho Falls Alive After Five

by Joe Vandal June 1, 2006

I took some pictures yesterday at the first Alive After Five of this year. For the uninitiated, it goes from 5 PM to 7:30 PM each Wednesday now through fall. It’s located downtown at Park and B street (there’s a little park there). There’s a band and beer, not much else. It’s one of the [...]
