This mural was in one of the windows @ The Egyptian Theatre during Christmas 2008. It was from a fellow Boisean, Anthony Doerr, who is of course an author and a Pulitzer Prize winner.
Fast forward 13 years later, we have experienced insane growth, a city that is becoming more and more urban and a downtown that other cities look to and admire, and I still feel Boise exemplifies the qualities in the mural.
This city has a great high self esteem, unlike other(s) on this forum who seem to always compare themselves to other cities. We always hear Boise is the next Austin, Seattle and/or Portland, but Boise is Boise, we are our own brand and other cities of similar size are trying to find ways to be more like Boise.

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
