Arboretum would dress up foothills
A common comlpaint about Idaho Falls scenery is, well, the lack of much scenery. One area of blandness is our plain foothills. Nobody has ever laid out a large “IF” in white stones the way many cities do. The least we could to to increase our local beauty would be to create an arboretum in [...]
Aquatic Center Upgrade Needed
The Wes Deist Aquatic Center is a great resource for Idaho Falls. Unfortunately they have one big problem that must be addressed: the 2nd floor viewing room.
This is a large room with bleacher seating and large windows so parents can watch their kids take swim lessons below. The problem is this room gets UNBEARABLY hot [...]
Yummy Debt
We have been watching Oprah’s Debt Diet series airing each Friday. Our family is not nearly in over our heads as these folks are, but we are shedding some debt right now.
A great point I have heard:
You do not really earn your stated salary. If you say you earn $50,000, you do not! After [...]
Never a dull moment
A guy dies, goes to He[[, and is bummed out about being there. Satan walks up and tries to cheer him up.
“It’s not that bad down here,” says the devil. “Do you like drinking?”
“Yeah, I like drinking,” replies the guy.
“Well, you’re going to enjoy Monday nights down here. We have open bars and every [...]
New neighborhood streets to educate
Unless I’ve missed it, Idaho Falls seems to be lacking very many streets named after U.S. presidents. There appears to be no Arthur, Buchanan, Bush (Sr. or Jr.), Carter, Clinton, Coolidge, Eisenhower, Fillmore, Ford, Grant, Harrison (Ben or William), Hayes, Hoover, Kennedy, McKinley, Monroe, Pierce, Polk, Roosevelt, Taft, Truman, Tyler, or Van Buren. Whether you [...]
Hope for locals with ADD
These two articles showcase how ADD can be an asset to incredible success rather than a liability. The key is to work in nontraditional ways, and not to get bogged down in normal jobs that don’t take advantage of ADD characteristics.
The two articles are 151 positive attributes of ADD and top 10 advantages [...]
Idaho Farm Fields Can Be Satellite Billboards
Word has been going around the net recently about businesses advertising on large rooftops (whether painted or large tarps) in an effort for those ads to be captured by satellite and being displayed to millions via Google Maps. Now it looks like someone decided to put a large swear word in a farm field, for [...]
Valentine’s Day Group Kiss
A fun thing for Idaho Falls-area couples to do on Valentine’s Day would be to gather in a large group somewhere and everyone kiss their partner at the same time. Yeah it’s cheesy, but for couples it would be fun, and guys it would mean a lot to your ladies to take her to such [...]
Hong Kongs are da bomb
Chinese food is great at the Hong Kong restaurant on Broadway and the New Hong Kong off 17th street. The employees are always courteous and attentive to diners. The food is always great, and delivered quickly. Prices are cheap for helpings that fill most everyone.
My last fortune cookie read “You have a keen sense [...]
Bike Rally Festival
A spring bike rally would be nice in Idaho Falls. This could be held at Tautphaus Park and/or our greenbelt. Besides bicycle-related attractions, the rally’s major event could be a police-escorted public bike ride around Idaho Falls. That’s right, imagine police blocking off 17th street for 2 hours and only bicycle riders are allowed to [...]
Burn the Island in Celebration
I propose we burn Keefer’s Island every spring in a renewal festival. That’s right, burn the entire island down to the dirt.
Idaho Falls‘ political leaders have positioned our strengths as a service economy, so why don’t we embrace it and host more tourist events? Let’s face it, our signage is still schizophrenic so visitors rarely [...]
