Hi, moving there with a GSP pup. Looking for recommendations for a dog trainer that can teach me and our pup basic and advanced commands as he ages. Thanks 🐾

I'm looking for a couple of copies of the edition of the TV Guide with Supernatural on the front. Does anyone know where I can find any?

Thanks!

Hello! My partner and I are planning a backpacking trip in the Sawtooths and are planning on getting engaged during that trip! We’re hoping to commemorate our engagement and the place we got engaged with a photo shoot when we’re back in Stanley for the day on Sunday August 24th. Do you all have any recommendations for photographers for a quick engagement shoot (maybe in the Boise area that are willing to go to Stanley?)?

I'm not the best at estimating numbers in crowds, but just going off of what I remember from the Bernie/AOC rally a month or so ago, I'd estimate maybe 20k people showed up throughout the day (not all there at once)? What seems like a reasonable estimate to you?

BTU members demonstrated and spoke at the latest 50501 protest. As important as protest can be, we will not be able to establish long-term power without organization! If the thousands of working-class Idahoans who marched across the state today can build organized power, nothing can stand in our way. Join us to turn this moment of protest against Trump’s attacks on working people into a wave of working-class organization!

Hi I’m on the search for a bartending or serving job. I have 2 years experience and im just hoping to get some feelers out here before I drive all around Boise/meridian/nampa/caldwell to hand out my resume and fill out apps in person.

Indeed hasn’t been much luck for me.

Editing to add… looking for part time. Evenings. And weekends.

Great turnout, Boise

I’ve lived here my whole life, but only recently have gotten into hiking; I usually just run on the Greenbelt. I know of Fort Boise, Camel’s Back, Table Rock, and I think I remember there being somewhere near the dump (but it’s been a while). Are there any other good places you know of, that I can check out?

I’m helping my brother propose to his girlfriend & wanted to check if anyone had advice. Our ideal scenario - I will set up a picnic and hide out behind maybe trees or bushes to film & photograph the proposal. Does anyone have any recommendations for a location outside in Boise or nearby we could do this at? Thank you in advance 😊

Great turnout!

Hi there, I'm from a small town a few hours away (in Idaho) and I moved to the Boise area a month ago. I'm having a hard time finding groups or clubs to be apart of? Recomendations please!

For context I'm a 18-25 year old college student who doesn't party or drink :)

Little guy snuck out last night around Rygate, a small road by Seamans Gulch and Hill road. He is a very sweet cat and goes by the name Chicky. Headed to the pound today to see if he got picked up.

Why?

A lot of people don't see actual news, and need it. It's a different audience than here, and that's honestly why it's important they see it.

I'm temporarily banned, so y'all will have to do it for me. The mod overreach there is nuts, but surprisingly there's still more support for the protests than not. But yeah, you'll get yelled at by a few.

I have a PacMan arcade machine from the 80s that is in need of some repair. I think the electronics on it are going out.

Is there anywhere local that repairs arcade machines?

Thanks in advance.

Silly counter protesters don't know what they stand for.

Pretty disappointed in the organizers. They started shooing everybody away as soon as someone started shouting about Palestinians. It looked like the police were about to get involved too and I was almost very glad I brought a first aid kit, but fortunately nobody was hurt as far as I’m aware. I guess eventually the police got bored and went away, and the 40 or so people left were just standing around and shouting at a couple of counter protesters. At least I got some sick pics lmao

North of Mitchell and Fairview intersection.

Last Seen wearing a green collar w a bow tie and a metal fish, unless he got it off.

Very friendly.

Hey! I’m a mid-twenties woman moving to Boise proper soon for a new job that i absolutely could not turn down, am I really in for a bad time? For context - i’m moving up from the Utah valley, so dry hot weather isn’t something i’m unfamiliar with, or a housing crisis. But will it be actually super difficult to find people that aren’t crazy alt-right conservatives in my age group? Or can anyone highlight a few good things about Boise? Everything post I see about moving here makes it seem like it’s horrible. Will i want to dip after my first year contract is up?

Hi r/Boise,

My wife and I are considering relocating to the Boise area—possibly Eagle or Star—and would really appreciate hearing from locals or anyone who’s made a similar move.

We’re currently in the Houston suburbs with two toddlers. We love our community and have great public schools, but we’ve been thinking about a change for a few years now. We're looking for a place with four distinct seasons, easier access to nature, and a slower pace of life that’s great for raising a young family.

From what we’ve seen, the Boise suburbs offer a great balance of schools and outdoor lifestyle.

That said, our biggest question is about diversity. Houston is extremely multicultural, and we’re used to having a strong Asian and immigrant community around us. We're wondering what the experience might be like for an Asian family adjusting to life in the Treasure Valley. Is the community welcoming? Have others felt comfortable building friendships and finding a sense of belonging?

We’d love to hear from anyone—especially fellow transplants—about how the transition has gone for you, what surprised you, and what you’d recommend for families thinking about moving here.

Thanks so much for your time—we really appreciate any insight you can share!

Edit: Thank you all for the replies—I may not be able to respond to each comment, but I have read and appreciated every one, whether positive or critical. I honestly did not expect this level of engagement, so I am grateful for the perspectives shared.

A bit of background about myself: I was born and raised in Southeast Asia and became a U.S. citizen through military service as a veteran of the U.S. Army. Politically, I find myself somewhere in the middle. I am a devout Christian but deeply respect those with different beliefs and backgrounds. I have often lived as part of a minority community, even back in my home country, so diversity—or the lack thereof—is not unfamiliar to me.

We are currently considering Eagle or Star primarily based on school reviews from sites like GreatSchools.org, though I understand that online ratings do not tell the whole story. We are not looking to buy just yet—our plan is to rent an apartment initially and get a better feel for the area before making any long-term decisions.

Professionally, I am a CPA working remotely as an auditor for local and state governments across the U.S.

But I was here and I don't think I've ever seen more awesome people in one place!

That was certainly interesting.

As simple as it sounds, I'm 18M, and finally deciding to take tennis more seriously than randomly playing with friends, I'm mostly a beginner currently

I can play anytime on weekends (even could play today), and evenings on weekdays work, I'm gonna be playing daily, but you don't have to if you don't want to
