Planning a tour of the PNW next year and I'm curious if Boise is worth stopping at. There's some good white water rafting in the area that I may want to hit up.

Is it a good place to live? I wonder how the winters and summers there compare to the mid west?

I saw a guy watching some pretty sick porn on the public library computers in Boise.

It was fun. I snuck on to the blue turf. There were good brewpubs. The raptor center was cool. College town feel overall.

I've been there working. About 100 nights. I am very fond of it. Great beer scene, the people are conservative, downtown is nice, good looking girls. I'd recommend.

I worked there two weeks in March one year. Not bad at all. A river runs right through town with a running trail. College town with a few brewpubs and decent food. Went skiing that weekend at Bogus Basin which was less than an hour drive.
cool place overall.

If the Table Rock is still there, that is a pretty cool place`to hang out.

I was dying for something not bland to eat, so I tried the jambalaya pasta with hope of some spice. The waitress nearly passed out when I asked for hot sauce after tasting it.

I had some friends who lived in Boise for years. I liked it a lot the time I went there. It reminded me of Denver, but smaller and cleaner. I heard the winters can get kind of gloomy, but there are a lot of outdoor activities there.

Work with a guy who spent 20 years in Boise. He worked all over the country including in Hawaii and he said Boise is by far his favorite.

I was up there a few years ago. It's a great place except it needs more black people. I didn't see any in Idaho the entire time I was there. It felt weird. Otherwise great place to get away.

Had a great time there. Got flown in by the CEO of Albertsons for a Hunting trip in McCall, Idaho. Lots of fun college party places around town.

I loved Boise. Was there June 2012 with my dad and brother on a guy's trip out west. The weather is perfect, and it's a big football town. Low crime. 96% Caucasian. Enjoy.

I enjoyed it there. We went white water rafting about 30 minutes outside of town and it was a blast. I think it was called Cascade rafting.

Nice little downtown area and places to explore too.

whatever you do, don't get drunk and try to pee on the blue field so that it goes back to the normal color of grass
