Paper Checks Belong to a Bygone Era
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to the newsletter or RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I saw the flier when I walked into Smitty’s recently, and I read the message, but it did not hit me until I read it again when paying our bill and leaving. The Idaho Falls Smitty’s restaurant [...]
Kudos to Officer Kenny Yellen
I think kudos are in order for Police Officer Kenny Yellen. I realize this happened down in Montpelier, but I want to highlight the important story that does not seem to have been widely reported.
This is the case where Kevin Buttars (who used to serve in our local Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office) was accused of [...]
Kudos to Idaho Falls Snow Removal Workers
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 falling on Christmas Eve day, and some of those workers were already out clearing our roads. Christmas Day [...]
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 [...]
Kudos for Donating New Idaho Falls Park along Snake River
I could not tell from the PR article if it was the local Smith (Automotive) Group or a person by the name of Smith that donated the land for our new city park, but I think that was awesome for them to do that.
The land is described as on the west bank, just north of [...]
Kudos to Post Register’s Mr. Harvard
I read yesterday morning about the Post Register’s executive editor, Dean Miller, winning a year-long Nieman fellowship to Harvard.
I thought about it all day yesterday, and I think kudos are in order for Dean Miller. Whether you agree or disagree with him or his organization, you’ve got to admit that is quite an achievement.
A [...]
Open Mike for Idaho Falls City Workers March 2007
We republish this open forum for Idaho Falls city workers on the first day of each month. The July article for city workers was one of our most commented-on articles ever. Last month’s open mike thread also generated some healthy discussion.
This monthly open forum is a vehicle for city workers (or anyone with knowledge of [...]
Fred Ochi Tribute in Idaho Falls
I propose we create a tribute to the recently departed Fred Ochi. He has been one of the most positive forces in Idaho Falls for decades, and Idaho Falls should honor that.
Would it be a statue of him on the greenbelt?
An outdoor studio scene?
A small park designed as Fred Ochi would have wanted, [...]
Idaho Falls People Respond to River Accident!
It was not only astonishing to see how our now local celebrity (the lady who drove off the street, across the greenbelt, through the bushes, onto the ice of the Snake River here in town, across the river, and over the falls(!), got in her wreck, but also how fast and how many Idaho Falls [...]
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, [...]
KPVI 6 Reporter Suzanne Hobbs on the Oprah show
I was surprised to see a local reporter on the Oprah show and not see or hear a mention in our local media. KPVI Channel 6 reporter Suzanne Hobbs was featured for about four minutes during Oprah’s November 3, 2006 show on teen mothers who kill their newborn babies.
Footage was shown from the infamous [...]
Congratulations Idaho Fallz.Com and Joe Vandal !
Since Joe started this site in Oct 2005, I want to be among the first to congratulate him on a job very well done. Think of the many ways we’ve communicated about different subjects that perhaps many of us wouldn’t have done previously. And, it has been great to see users talking to each other, [...]
