We are moving to Boise! Got two kids 6 & 8 and coming from the Montana Area. My brother lived in Boise for 10 years and loves this stretch of the city that’s close to green belt and city. Any downsides? Thoughts?

We ideally want a neighborhood where kids roam free until the street lights etc.

Is anyone going tomorrow or this week? If so could you see if they have something for me 😆 I don’t have a car so I need to know before I get an uubs! 😄

Me and my fiance are interested in attending some churches. We’re not the most religious people but we want to make an effort. What are some good churches yall can recommend? The few I’ve been too, I liked the relaxed dress code meaning jeans are allowed, but I do not like the micro concerts every church seems to be doing nowadays. We are in our mid 20’s so a decent sized younger crowd would be preferred.

I’ve been hearing a lot of people talking about how inconvenient the date and time is for the Feb 5th protest because of work and such. What date/time for a protest do you think would allow the most people to come?

Edit: About the 50501 protest, it does have an objective, people just aren’t talking about it enough. There’s a comment under this post that explains it and has the flyer attached. Check it out!

What’s the best bowling alley in the area? And why?

We have a (mostly) lovely 4.5 year old female cat that unfortunately my wife and I are in need of a new home for. We just had our first child and we cannot keep up with her behavioral issues and the new baby. The issue is with her going into the garage (through a cat door) to use the litter box. No issues when the litter box is inside, but with our new family dynamic, a litter box inside is no longer an option. We are very sad to be at this point, but I just want to find her a good home at this point. If anyone is interested or has ideas, please message me.

Hey guys, I'm looking at possibly moving to Boise later this spring and I'm looking for some job recommendations.

I have my AAS in Diesel Technology, so that is one job possibility, however I would rather not do that if possible.

I have a lot of experience running heavy machinery, excavators, tractors, bulldozers, etc. so any potential jobs doing that could be quite fun.

I did about a year of appliance delivery a couple years back and that wasn't too bad.

If possible, I would like to work for a locally owned company... not a huge corporation.

Any recommendations would be awesome.

Thanks!

I saw a quick post about a rally outside the capitol building once, a bunch of people crapping on it, then nothing. Is something legitimately happening, because I’d like to create some rabble for the children running the state government right now?

Hello, I’m looking for recommendations for a great attorney. TLDR; there’s an ongoing investigations against my ex husband. We are not in Idaho but the agents recommended we’d look for a lawyer where my ex husband is resident, due to us being overseas. My daughter, now 13, recently confided that her father had SA her, years ago. The goal is to strip him from any paternal rights at a minimum. I am not familiar with Idaho so I’m looking for recommendations. Thank you in advance.

Hello all,

I have a background in sales & Account Management. I have been working in software the past four years, but I was in manufacturing sales prior to that. Without many connections, are there companies worthy of applying to cold? I am currently employed and very motivated, my wife is as well so I am not hurting for work, but I would like in person or hybrid to develop my career further.

Cheers and I hope you all have a good day!

Trying to find a place that is dog friendly as we have larger dogs. Also still bikeable to restaurants and other activities if possible.

Hi, everyone! I'm moving to Boise in March and I'd like to make some friends! I'm in my 20s, I'm Brazilian, I consider myself an extrovert, I like clubs, college parties, bars, coffee shops, hiking, outdoor activities... basically, I like a lot of things and I'm up for anything, as long as I have good company.

I've moved 3 times and my last experience was quite traumatic. I spent 3 years in a city with no friends, no company for anything and very little free time. So I'm a little afraid of ending up in the same situation... What do you think? Is Boise an easy place to make friends? I know there's BSU, I was really enchanted by the idea of ​​having a community of young people, but at the same time I don't know if they are people who are open to new friendships or if they are more "closed" people.
