I've never really noticed that until you mentioned it. Thanks for the laugh Sawtooth!

I really hope that they follow through with adding that sculpture. It'll add to the Grove's atmosphere, and it'll be interesting to walk along it at night

It made me kind of jealous back in 2012 when I heard that Spokane was expanding on it's convention center, while Boise was still struggling to find a location. There could be some hope left for something similar in Boise since we saw that conceptual rendering of the Sky-walk that Boise Airport found. Like he said, that may be an indication that they want to build up. A 400-500 room hotel with a glass facade would be almost perfect directly above the Convention center.
