“I Miss The Way It Was”; 1980’s Boise Footage Resurfaces Online

Idaho has changed so much in the past years and with so many new people there has been a whole lot of changes. People are doing different things in this city then they were years ago and as cool as it is to live in Idaho now It was still cool many years ago.

Before Boise was booming like it is today there was a time when Idaho was much smaller with way less people living here and sometimes people seem to forget that. Recently however with all of the people moving here it seems like locals are putting in all of their best efforts to help everyone who now lives here realize what Idaho once was.

There has been a lot of videos recently coming out of Idaho from before it was one of the most popular states to move to. It makes us wonder how much everyone has been reminiscing over the Idaho that used to be rather than what Idaho has become now. 

Videos that were took in the 1980's were online and it shows a bunch of people just hanging out in Downtown Boise on skateboards. Even more video footage appeared and is from when Boise Town Square Mall opened up in the 1980s. Now the construction that took over in the 1980's has come out.

Now that this video has come out and it once again makes everyone who lives in this state remember that a lot has changed in Idaho. The comments are flooded with those who just wish Boise would stop changing and how much they miss the way it used to be. As much as they seem to want things to go back to the way they were it just doesn't seem like a reality at all anymore.
