Guidelines

*1. Advertising is okay, just as long as it's for a Pocatello business.

*2. Even though this is /r/Pocatello, It has been decided that posts pertaining to closer cities such as Lava Hot Springs, Blackfoot, and Idaho Falls will be allowed as long as it is a popular event (State Fair, Dogapoolooza, etc.)

*3. Keep it friendly, keep it clean. This should go without saying. However, this is the internet.

*4. Please keep the political/religious posts to the realm of good taste. If your church/ward/drum circle is hosting a community event, feel free to post. If your son is being baptized, post it to your facebook instead.

5. No sketchy links. If you would like to post a photo, the image *must** be hosted via Imgur.com

Moving from Birmingham, AL, to Pocatello

Hi all, my wife and I are moving from the Deep South to Pocatello. Our current struggle is finding a rental that will accept three pets (none of our animals are ESA). We’re looking for a month-to-month lease as we’re trying to buy a house. Let us know if y’all have any ideas on who to go to.

Small Business Support for Pocatello

Hello, I'm Kim. I've lived in Idaho all my life, and moved to Pocatello after I graduated high school. I went to ISU and worked at ISU for about 20 years. A couple years ago, I opened my own business. I would love to connect with other local small business owners. Please introduce yourselves and share a little bit about your business. Feel free to share your business links and social media links too.

My business is Creativ Quirks. I make jewelry, keychains, and other gifts. I currently sell on Etsy, though I would be willing to sell locally and arrange pickups on campus. Here are links to my shop and social media:

Etsy: https://creativquirks.etsy.com
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CreativQuirks
Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/creativquirks/
Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/creativquirks/tiers

I would love it of you could follow me on these platforms. I will return the favor.

Any ASL players

This is probably a dumb question for the sub, but I figured maybe there's someone hidden or wanted to play it. The actual game shops are a complete waste of time imho.

I picked up all the starters for Advanced Squad Leader and am wanting to learn it.

Welcome to Pocatello subreddit...again feel free to post again!

I took over the Pocatello subreddit. I changed it to public so anyone can post. I'll moderate it. I've been a Pocatello resident for 30 years, I see all the other communities being used, but not Pocatello. Please make it active again!

Thinking of moving to Pocatello from Kansas, should I?

How's your town? It's got a job opportunity for me and it's close to family, so I might be moving.

Is it walking/biking friendly? Any good food, fun stuff to do? Is it infested with racists and bigots?

Buses

Moving to Pocatello as a grad student. Is the bus system reliable? Any info I should know? I prefer to take public transit if I can as 1) it will reduce my spending in gas, and 2) I just generally prefer to reduce my environmental footprint where reasonable. Can I reasonably expect to get to the university, to the grocery store, etc.? I see the bus schedules online, but I’ll admit where I live we have a huge issue with buses not showing up at their scheduled time, or like every other bus showing up, which would not work for me trying to get to classes.

Earthquake?

Did anybody else feel an earthquake today or am I just going crazy? I was sitting on my couch when the ground starting rumbling and my dog perked up. I looked out my window and there were no large trucks going by or anything that could have caused the shaking. It went on for a few seconds. Wasn’t sure if anybody else felt anything. Happened around 3:10.

Landscaper Recommendation

I'm looking to replace the dying shrubs and bushes in my front yard with something new and lower maintenance. I've tried calling several people who advertise themselves as landscapers, but I can't get anyone to return my calls. It seems nobody wants to take my money.

Anybody have any recommendations for a reputable landscaping company in town that wants some business.

Adult voice/singing lessons

Does anyone know of a voice/singing instructor for adults. The ones I’ve been finding online seem geared more towards children, getting them ready for musicals and productions.

Living near rail yard on south end of town?

I have been looking at some houses around town and wondering if homes on the west side of the freeway in this area get a lot of noise from the trains. Looks like a switching area before it gets into the larger rail yard downtown.

How to find people of similar interest in Idaho as new resident

I graduated college and got a new job in this town, however, I struggle to meet people of similar age since I arrived.

I am not affiliated to any church nor do I believe in anything. I am from a very different culture than what idahoan would consider local.

Can anyone give me any points on how to socialize with like minded people? I work full time but be happy to look into what ISU can do in this case.

Coming to Pocatello for work. What should I do at night?

I travel for work, I'm coming into town in a couple weeks, March 8th, and I'llbe there for 10 days. I'm wondering what there is to do since I've never been. I work pretty much all day, so I really can't go sight-seeing or go to any museums or anything, so I'm hoping ya'll can give me some suggestions for nighttime activities. I'm a sucker for local favorites, things I can only find in the area I'm going to, good food, and uniqueness in general, so anything that fills those niches would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to ask any questions if you think it'd help.
