Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time? That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains.-Hermann Hesse

Some of the finest whitewater on the continent is in Boise's MSA and adjacent.

I wish my downtown was as vibrant as Boise's is. Boise has a vibe and community "comfort" to it that lacks in downtown SLC.

Downtown Boise benefits from being a destination with small blocks, narrow streets (except for the two major Connector streets of Front and Myrtle) excellent street engagement via retail (the lack of a downtown mall is a very good thing), restaurants, coffee houses, bars, wine bars, breweries, etc. The parking garages in the CBD generally include retail at street level.

Of course The parks; big parks, greenery, smaller pocket parks in the CBD, a river and greenbelt. There are nearly 200 acres of lush parkland within a 5 minute bike ride from the Statehouse, much more acreage along the Greenbelt on the way to other parks. It's cozy and historic and fresh. The historic neighborhoods adjacent really add to the overall vibe as well.

Add on Comment ~ Boise is a NW city and our downtown vibes more similarly to our peers in the NW. That makes a world of difference imo.

Cheers!

The Peace Valley
Here is a photo I posted in the "Skylines From Far Far Away Thread"
Slightly different view than the pic I posted on the prevoius page of this thread.

A bit of info about this view:
The Boise River flows through the city and the entire length of the valley and is a major tributary of the Snake River, which is the largest tributary of the Columbia River. Idaho's waters are the main contributor to the Columbia. #NorthWest

The Snake River and Canyon are south of the city near the Owyhee Mountains in the backdrop. The Snake River Canyon in this area has one of the largest collections of ancient petroglyphs in North America. The Snake River also flows through the deepest canyon in North America, Hells Canyon which is near Boise to the West along the Oregon border.

A few extinct volcanoes dot the background in the misty landscape. It had been raining earlier in the day.

The Native Tribes referred to this valley as The Peace Valley. It was their "peaceful" sacred gathering and trading place in the woods along the river and the Boise River ran red with Salmon.
Many say this is the reason there is a positive energy, (a vibe) to Boise. You have to be in tune to feel this energy.

Tenth Street
The renovation is underway at the Masonic Temple on 10th to add living units to the top floor, I believe.
I hope they can take away the big box on top

Maybe a private room that requires special handshakes, hand gestures and speaking in code to enter
