Does anyone have any experience with them? Sounds scammy, but if it works…

Dungeons and dragons

Anyone know of a card/game shop that does things like D&D nights? I just moved to Eagle and I’m trying to find some friends or a group that I can meet up with and play/talk about things like this

Greatfull Dead

Just curious why The Greatfull Dead is so big in Boise. I love the band don't get me wrong. Just compared to all the other places I've lived they're not as big. Here it seems like every other person or business has some shirt, or Teddy bear / skull flag with the business's logo in it.

Bills on Broadway

Has anyone ever shopped at Bills on Broadway? I’m so interested in his place but you can only shop by making an appointment so I just have no idea what to expect or how much money I’d need to spend. Would love to hear your experience!

TIL out of 100 most populous urban areas in the US, Boise ranks 33rd in density, topping Boston, Philadelphia, the Twin Cities, and Austin.

Note: urban area is different than metropolitan area. You can visualize urban areas here.

You can easily verify this by putting the top 100 into excel and sorting by density.

This should put to rest all the claims that sustainable transportation just "isn't viable" here.

Greenbelt meeting?

Wasn't there some meeting a couple of months ago (August?) about rules & enforcement (and electric propulsion) on the Greenbelt? Anyone have an update on that?

City of Boise Sewage Cost

It seems like the cost of sewage has gotten out of control. Over the course of 2 years, the cost has gone up 34% with LESS usage. When I talked to the city, they said your usage is set for an entire year in July and not ametered system, however, regardless of that, our bill goes up every time we receive one.

Our most recent bill is $106 dollars for two months with 2 people living in the home. Is this what others are paying?

Parking Needed (mid Dec to mid Jan)

Daughter is a student at BSU. Looking for a place to park her car during winter break other than airport parking ($$). Closer to the airport or campus the better. Any offers or suggestions?

Anywhere that will be showing the BSU soccer game tomorrow?

Long story short, I know I can stream it and will if needed. However, I plan to watch the game with my daughter, but my ex MiL is visiting this weekend and I think trying to watch the match with her and possibly other family there might be just too chaotic and stressful for everyone involved.

I was hoping I might be able to find a pub that won't be too crazy and chaotic where I could bring my kid to eat and watch the game?

All I can think of is Sockeye and Old Chicago?

Animal volunteering for kids?

Does anyone know of a volunteer opportunity that would allow an 11yo to participate, even if it requires their parent to also volunteer? Hoping for something we could start now. The Zoo program appears to be limited to May-September.

Might be a long shot but does anyone have a spare ticket to the BSU/Nevada game this Saturday?

We have a friend from Australia over for the week and they haven't been to a game before. Just wondering if anyone had a ticket they weren't going to use?

Someone possibly trying to serve papers.

I have no clue who this man is but some random man just rang our doorbell 6 times and stood outside our house from 7:29-7:45. In our doorbell footage he doesn’t say anything and seems to have some paper in his hands but we cant tell anything just based on it. Is there any laws or regulations regarding the time of day people can serve you in idaho if thats what he was attempting to do? Its absolutely wild that someone can come this late into the evening and wake our toddler up with no explanation if thats what he was attempting to do. We by rule don’t answer the door after dark due to safety before anyone asks why we didn’t just open right up to the creepy looking guy who wouldn’t leave.

Anyone ever get work done from Storm Pro Roofing?

They came to us to file an insurance claim to get a new roof, which went through. However, not sure if they’re legit or if anyone’s had experience with them. They don’t really have a website or reviews online so I figured this may be the next best thing!

Soufflé Pancakes

Anyone familiar with any local restaurants that serve soufflé pancakes around Boise? They’re absolutely delicious but I can’t seem to locate them around the area at all.

Looking to transfer my Bogus Basin Adult Value Pass (Winter 2024), has anyone done this before?

Adult Value Pass
(25-69)

I thought I would use it, looks like the website says it can be transferred as long as it isn't picked up and the season hasn't begun.
I would want to get back all I paid. If anyone is interested, I'm looking for takers.
