IFPD…needs to get priorities straight?
Last week we had an incident near my house on 2nd st where a drunken couple were fighting in their front yard…it culminated with the man throwing a beer bottle at the woman..missing and putting a hole in the side of the elderly neighbors house.
This was reported the the police department, who took over 45 [...]
Should the Farmers’ Market Move?
I think it’s time for the Idaho Falls Farmers’ Market to move. It’s crowded, it creates tremendous pedestrian congestion around those two intersections (Broadway and Capital, and Broadway and Memorial) as people try to find parking elsewhere and then walk to get there (very few spaces left in the same parking lot).
Folks also park in [...]
The Eagle Rock Co-op is OPEN!
It’s a “soft” opening as their grand opening is scheduled for mid September.
They have products on the shelves and in the coolers, but they don’t have much in the way of produce yet. They have a selection of meats and cheeses, some bulk items, coffees and teas, and various natural type shelf items (such [...]
Dramatic High Speed Chase and Shootout in Idaho Falls
Last night our normally peaceful Idaho Falls was the scene of a crazy high speed vehicle chase, shootout, foot chase, and hostage situation. Most of us locals watched these events play out nearly live on our televisions last night. All three local news stations tried to get the best information, and this morning it seems [...]
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 [...]
Do You Want a 13-14 Story Marriott Residence Inn Hotel/Condo at Taylor’s Crossing?
Last summer we were introduced to photos and story regarding the 13 story Marriott Residence Inn to be built at Taylor’s Crossing. As you have probably noticed, there aren’t cranes and workers building what would be the tallest building in Idaho Falls. I’ve added the “14th” floor, as I’ve never stayed in a [...]
Broadway Railroad Crossing Gives Bad First Impression of Idaho Falls
Imagine pulling off the freeway of any random town you have never visited. While waiting at the exit ramp’s stoplight, you see a beautiful white stone with the town’s name and a pleasant natural scene carved into it. You turn right because you see gas stations, restaurants, and a trusty Wal-Mart in that [...]
“Welcome to Idaho Falls” Monument Unveiled
I have been eagerly anticipating the erection of a new welcome sign next to the Kicks66 gas station on Broadway. This is the Broadway entrance to Idaho Falls from the freeway.
The area used to be an eyesore with a chain link fence and rusty old metal sheds. The fence and buildings were razed [...]
September 11 Remembrance Walk Around Greenbelt
September 11 is an awkward anniversary for most Americans. I always reflect back on attacks and the subsequent tragedy, and remember how I was glued to media for a solid week thereafter. I feel I shouldn’t to anything happy or joyous on September 11, especially when two wars have ensued since then and Osama bin [...]

Tourists have to cram the most enjoyment into never-enough vacation time. How about we suggest the best places they can get great pictures in Idaho Falls and surrounding areas? When taking these pictures I always like to take a couple with family and a couple of the scene itself.
My top ten photo opportunities would include:

Taylor Crossing Unveils Largest Bronze Eagles
I enjoyed the (hopefully first annual?) Taylor Crossing Summer Days yesterday.
It was nice that they not only did an public art enveiling, they also had a full day’s free festivities for the public. My kid really enjoyed the blow-up castles and activity centers.
The girl that sang the star-spangled banner was one of the [...]
