Kudos to Idaho Falls Snow Removal Workers
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to the newsletter or RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
This is a couple days late, but I still wanted to give a big thank you to all the folks who have been working so hard at clearing the huge snowfall Idaho Falls received.
The snow began [...]
The Flap Over The Flag
Here is a story that makes your blood boil on Veterans Day!!!
Recently, the Department of Veterans Affairs opted out of the tradition of reciting the significance of each fold in the flag-folding ceremony at military funerals.
The recitations accompanying each fold pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of our veterans and their families, and the [...]
Idaho Falls 2007 Fourth of July Festivities
Another Fourth of July has come and passed Idaho Falls, and I think our city did a great job with this year’s festivities. Kudos to the thousands of people who worked behind the scenes to make all these great events. I hope a congratulatory picnic for those people can be arranged, we should thank them [...]
What are your plans for Memorial Day weekend?
I thought I’d write an article to see what everyone likes to do during Memorial Day weekend. I’m sure Bar-B-Q grills will fired up all over the city and the wonderful aroma of ribs, chicken, burgers & hot dogs will envelop the city this weekend. Others will no doubt load up the vehicle [...]
Idaho Falls’ Best Sledding Areas
We finally got our snow delivered in southeast Idaho! Sledding is a great physical (and cheap) activity to take children out to do here. I wonder the same thing each year: where are the best sledding spots?
There is the small hill in Community Park, close but likely crowded.
There is the Ucon pit next to [...]

Where are the Biggest Idaho Falls Christmas Light Displays?
Christmas season is nearing the end, but there is still another week of time to drive around and look at the holiday lights. Some homes hang a few up (like mine), some hang many up, and then there are those few that hang so many up you wonder at their electric bill.
These are the “doozies” [...]
Liberals or Conservatives- Who Gives More???
Is it me or did anyone else find the 20/20 story on charity a bit ironic? If you didn’t see the episode it was a John Stosell report in which he interviewed Arthur Brooks who is a Professor of Public Administration and Director of the Nonprofit Studies Program at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School [...]
Evidence of Idaho’s Christmas Spirit
I am buffeted by advice that this site should focus on more positive stories. I like to point out most anyone is free to register and publish positive stories on their own, so long as it is locally interesting.
Most everyone is also free to leave positive comments in some of the more positively-oriented articles, [...]
Thanksgiving Dinner Restaurant in Idaho Falls
I would like to see an Idaho Falls restaurant focused exclusively on Thanksgiving meal-type foods. It could be called something like “Thanksgiving Dinner”, “Thanksgiving Diner”, “Thanksgiving Eats” or “Thanksgiving Fixings”.
The menu would feature things traditional Thanksgiving foods like turkey, smoked turkey, fried turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberries, rolls, deviled eggs, pumpkin pie, etc. The food [...]
What are your holiday traditions, Idaho Falls?
I think it’s widely acknowledged the holiday season starts Thanksgiving weekend. I was wondering what similar or different holiday traditions we celebrate in Idaho Falls?
My family sets out our Christmas decorations on Thanksgiving weekend. We have two fake trees now, one for upstairs and the basement. We only setup one at first with wooden ornaments, [...]
4th of July Contest Winner
We picked a winner in our first-ever contest, last week’s 4th of July 2006 Contest that asked for five freedoms guaranteed in our First Amendment.
While the response was disappointing (only 29 entries), the winner was not disappointed! In the interest of proving it was all kept ‘top shelf’, I’ll describe the procedure to pick our [...]
