IF Public Transit Exists!
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to the newsletter or RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Like many of you, until recently I was unaware that Idaho Falls maintains a public transportation system. After all, the system’s only method of advertisement seems to be the buses themselves. The system recieves little advertising on […]
Time to Rethink Food Stamps?
I am the original bleeding heart. I mean that.
However, lately, I’ve been rethinking the whole concept of state-sponsored charity - namely, food stamps. This is mainly because every time I go to WinCo, I leave mad as hell.
You know what I’m talking about. I’m talking about you going through the store, being very careful to […]
Why I Love Downtown Idaho Falls
There is a particular something, though it’s unclear what that something is, about downtown Idaho Falls that seems very appealing to me. Whether it’s wasting time playing guitar or bickering about music history (who did the most to damage music, Nirvana or Limp Bizkit!?) at Ziel Company, enjoying a slice of warm bread from […]
A Night for the Invisible Children
What began as a trip through war-torn regions of Africa has become a national movement, and now that movement is coming to Idaho Falls.
Invisible Children chronicles the travels and experiences of three college-age men as they discover the unbelievable, heartbreaking truth about the children of Uganda. Stolen from their beds, forced into armies, forced […]
One Hell of a Sandwich
The other day, my wife and I were visiting our good friends the Hansons who recently opened a new salon on A street, and we suddenly found ourselves craving some sandichey goodness. Across the street, we found Geraldine’s Bakery, and decided to give it a try.
Geraldine’s makes one hell of a sandwich.
So this gave […]
A Young Man’s Take on Gay Marriage in Idaho
In recent editions of the Post Register, countless local residents have joined in an epic debate over whether or not it is appropriate that we, as a society, can accept marriages between one man and one man or one woman and one woman, or whether it is in better wisdom to make changes to our […]
It’s Time for Idaho Falls to Help the Invisible Children
Imagine the entire city of Idaho Falls disappears. All of your friends, children, uncles, gas station attendants, the mayor, the garbage man, even yourself, gone wihout a trace. Now, imagine that nobody notices or cares.
This is exactly what is happening in Northern Uganda, where a 13-year civil was has killed hundreds of thousands […]
The Perils of Being a Pedestrian in Idaho Falls
I try to ride my bike everywhere I need to go. I do this mainly because I lack the monetary resources to buy a second car for my wife to use, but also because gas prices are absurd, fossil fuels are killing our planet, and it’s good for the soul to use one’s legs […]
Mankind’s Greatest Scams
I’m constantly amazed at some of the things that get away with - for instance, the cigarette break. The cigarette break is basically giving people ten minutes out of every day to sit outside and inhale deadly fumes. Isn’t allowing a break like this kind of like giving an alcoholic a beer break? I imagine […]
Urban Canvas 2006
As many on this website have noticed, there is a growing problem with graffiti in Idaho Falls, particularly in the downtown area. While I understand the problem, I don’t believe that sitting back and waiting for the city to fix the problem is the best way to go - we, as a community, should […]
