downtown

Over the last year, we've seen Downtown Boise continue to develop with new hotels, renovated public space, and soon, a downtown parking lot could become an urban park.

Over the past few months, you've probably heard conversations about parking in Downtown Boise changing, but there is still a chance Saturdays will remain free.

If you park in downtown Boise, odds are good you have parked in Capitol City Development Corporation garage. Now, they say they are likely going to be raising prices.

For most of us, Expo Idaho is the site of the Western Idaho Fair, huge car sales, Idaho's Largest Garage Sale, and of course, Boise Music Festival. Could it also be a "new downtown?"

The last few years, Ada County Highway District has made the change from one-way to two-streets on a number of downtown roads. Now, they're looking at Fifth and Sixth streets.

The space between tall buildings isn't always the prettiest, and in fact some of us probably walk right on by with the expectation that alleys should smell funny and look less than clean. But one Boise alley is about to get a big face lift that could make it prettier than your backyard.

I know for a lot of us, some of our best meals in Boise have been at Berryhill for formal dinner and at Bacon for breakfast, brunch, or lunch.  Now Berryhill is going bye-bye.

If you one of the many of us who prefer to do our computing on a Mac than a PC, perhaps you've done business with the MacLife store in Bodo.  That will no longer be the case.

Downtown Boise has been growing like crazy, with new restaurants, hotels, and entertainment opportunities.  Now, our parking availability will be growing too.

It's been warm this week, but Thursday will be cooler, more like jacket weather for a Downtown Boise block party.  It's free to show up, but you do have to RSVP.
