Tales of a Walk-About

I was in downtown Boise a couple of days ago.  I was on a particular mission and hurriedly walking from store to store when all of a sudden I was stopped in my tracks by my experience of the moment.  Downtown is such a great place!!!  The holiday decorations were festive and lively - the streets were clean and uncongested - everyone I passed on the street was friendly and courteous.  I have lived in Boise all of my life so I think it is easy for me to overlook many of the things that make Boise such a wonderful place to live.  It’s not that I have become jaded to the experience our community provides but rather I think I simply take it for granted.  I meet people every day who are moving to Boise - they are coming to a new place and they are excited!  I always thought that excitement was generated by a new adventure in a brand-new place and that might be part of it but it dawned on me last week during my walk-about that I really am lucky to live in such a great city, safe and quiet, with people who love it as much as I do. 

Feel free to let me know what you like most about living in Boise.
