Should We Rebuild the Teton Dam?
I could not believe the news that our Idaho legislature has appropriated $400,000 to study whether the infamous Teton Dam should be rebuilt. The Teton Dam collapse and subsequent flood was the worst disaster ever in southeast Idaho’s modern recorded history. Five southeast Idaho counties were declared federal disaster areas by President Gerald Ford. I’m [...]
Does Idaho Falls want Areva?
Everyone has probably heard by now that our Idaho Falls area is being considered for a multi-billion dollar uranium enrichment plant, to be built by the French company Areva. There are many important issues surrounding this potential deal, and it could dramatically affect Idaho Falls‘ future. This is important for locals to discuss. Some Areva [...]
Idaho Falls Development Chatter 08Q1
This is a quarterly series about commercial, residential, and industrial developments in our area. IdahoFallz has other great discussions on particular real estate and business developments, so this is a general-purpose/open forum on this topic.
This discussion is for talking about what what went good and bad with old developments, new developments, proposed developments, and [...]
Planning for an Idaho Falls Events Center
Yesterday’s Post Register featured Idaho Falls Mayor Jared Fuhriman suggesting we develop a large multi-use events center. He says Idaho Falls is missing the boat on this opportunity. I noticed this discussion started on the same day that Pocatello announced they are pushing a bond to improve ISU’s Holt Arena. Does anyone else see the [...]
Idaho Falls is Hostile to Pedestrians
I was encouraged to see the Community Pathways group recently featured in the Post Register, however our city needs much more help and involvement than one volunteer group. We need civic leaders, citizens, business owners, and developers to get on board with the pedestrian-friendly environment that Idaho Falls is lacking. Some problems are city-wide design [...]
Idaho Falls Country Club Oversells Itself
What gives the Idaho Falls Country Club the right to call themselves a country club? Probably their own historical claim and little else. I think the IFCC is overselling itself, and they should fix some things or risk getting buried by a competitor.
This started when a friend told me about his golfing buddy who [...]
Idaho Falls Development Chatter 07Q4
This is the first in what I hope is an active quarterly series about commercial, residential, and industrial developments. We have hosted previous attempts to discuss real estate and business developments, but they always focused on a particular development or issue. This became awkward when we tried discussing other developments, and trying to develop discussion [...]
Conversation with Idaho Falls Mayor Jared Fuhriman
I had a chance to speak with Idaho Falls Mayor Jared Fuhriman this morning. I have met with him a couple times previously, but did not want to make a big deal about it, and definitely do not want to imply he endorses IdahoFallz.com or anything like that. Usually a mayor would not have any [...]

This week’s poll question asks about supporting a new law enforcement building, so let’s look at the pros and [...]
Japanese Temple/Shrine in Idaho Falls
Much how other cities in the country have a China Town, Idaho Falls could have a Japanese themed area with the centerpiece being a Japanese temple.
Most know that Idaho Falls is the sister city to Tokai-Mura, Japan. Most also know that Idaho Falls and East Idaho were home to concentration camps for Japanese citizens during [...]
Melaleuca Golf Course
I had an idea while driving to Pocatello the other day. As I passed the new Melaleuca headquarters, I thought the building looked nice, especially with the clock face. I looked at all the farmland around their new building, and wondered who owned it and what the future area might look like.
For some reason, I [...]
