As new buildings are envisioned, the skyline rises, and Boise grows in both age and size, conversations about embedding the community’s long-term values into present-day growth are vital.”

Preservation Idaho Intern Savannah Willits recently explored the controversy surrounding Boise’s failed downtown mall and its role in the larger story of Boise’s urban renewal and identity.

Photo Fact: Hotel Boise operated from 1930 until 1976. Atop the structure stood a large, neon “Hotel Boise” sign, each letter a massive eight feet tall. When the building was sold, the new owner changed the name to Hoff Building, renovated the building, added two floors, and removed Art Deco features. Two years later. the building was sold to EBCO Inc., and many of the Art Deco details were reinstalled.

In 1983, the building was sold to Tire Distributors Inc., owned by Paul Resnick, who repainted the exterior, added false skylights to mimic those of the original Hotel Boise, replaced the glass elevator with one more akin to the Art Deco style featuring a gold leaf art piece, installed new porcelain tile floors, and reconfigured the paint scheme.

I admit it, I am 100% guilty. I am guilty of using a click bait in today’s post because the inspiration to linger longer for Day dinner with a live edge in my kitchen is a mighty craic of an idea! YES, please - with an extra scoop of corned beef and cabbage! ☘️

Looks like our Publisher had the same idea because he headed to warehouse to check out some slabs (See IG Stories).

If you’re looking for for your remodel, you can shop for beautiful custom countertops/bar tops or bathroom vanities at . You can also find sustainably harvested and kiln dried wood slabs with uncut natural edges along both long edges or cut straight along one edge only. 

Stop by the retail warehouse〡bit.ly/NaturalEdgeWoodSlabs | Open To The Public FRI & SAT 10-5, SUN 12-5  〡@impactfiretables 〡@naturalstonegasfirepits

Following on the heels of our wanderlust editorial team, our Boise Lifestyle Ambassador, Lynette Stanley, and her husband took a trip to a secluded hilltop retreat on the fringes of Grand Teton National Park to visit the luxury resort, Amangani

Amangani is perched on the crest of East Gros Ventre Butte adjacent to the world-class ski destination of Jackson Hole. The name itself sets the expectation:

Amangani means peaceful home. It’s part of the worldwide Aman family of resorts, and one of only two in the U.S.

The theme at the luxurious Amangani is one of nature and simplicity, and it’s a perfect complement to the surroundings.  The resort feels more like a tranquil home than an opulent hotel. Then kick it up five stars for the stunning views and superb hospitality!

Amangani General Manager Stuart Lang shared with Lynette about what makes this place worth the trip. “Our locations are strategically chosen and offer a sense of peace and tranquility. We create sanctuaries where our guests can unwind and rebalance.”

So hit the open road at noon and arrive by 6 pm! Swipe to the left for Map. !
