Boise’s Chow Market closing for a big revamp

Chow Public Market, once Boise’s first food hall, is closing its doors soon as part of a major overhaul at the Boise Spectrum. After years of dwindling tenants and mixed reviews, the space will be reimagined into new restaurant and retail spots to bring fresh energy to the area. Some businesses, like Magnolia Beer + Wine Bar and Paint ’n Sip, are shutting down, while others may adapt to the changes. With the movie theater next door getting a facelift, the goal is to turn the Spectrum back into a lively destination. What do you think would make this spot thrive again? #Food #Boise #FoodHall

Boise Factory Outlets closes a chapter

The Boise Factory Outlets, a familiar landmark for over 30 years, is set to disappear, making way for new development. For many in Boise, this isn’t just about losing a shopping center—it’s about saying goodbye to memories of meeting friends, finding deals, and growing up alongside neighbors. The last Eddie Bauer store, run by Diana Hanson since day one, is closing its doors, marking the end of an era filled with community, mentorship, and friendships. As the buildings come down, the stories and connections built there will stick with us. How do you feel about seeing a piece of Boise’s history go? #Business #LocalBusiness #Boise

Big changes ahead for Boise air travel

Travelers in Boise could soon see more vacation flight options as Allegiant and Sun Country plan to merge in a $1.5 billion deal. Both airlines already connect Boise to popular spots like Minneapolis, Orange County, and Phoenix, but this move aims to create a powerhouse for leisure travel, possibly adding more nonstop routes—including international destinations. While it’ll take some time to see exactly how this shakes out, it’s a big shift for anyone planning getaways from the City of Trees. What destinations would you love to see added from Boise? #Business #Boise #TravelNews

Meet Boise’s newest wild neighbor: Laura the wolverine

Boise just got a little wilder—Zoo Boise has welcomed Laura, a rare 11-month-old wolverine, to her brand-new habitat right next to the carousel. Wolverines are legendary Idaho predators, but most of us never get to see one up close. Now, with only 10 zoos in the country housing these elusive animals, Laura’s arrival is a big deal for both wildlife lovers and local conservation efforts. Her new home is packed with climbing structures and cold-weather features to keep her comfortable. Who’s planning a visit to check out this Idaho icon? #Travel #Boise #ZooBoise

Boise thrift store gives second chances

A Boise thrift store is doing more than just selling clothes—it's giving people fresh starts. Mario Hernandez, who knows firsthand the challenges of rebuilding after prison, founded Learning How 2 Live to help others find hope and stability. At Thrift for a Purpose on Emerald Street, folks coming out of incarceration or crisis can shop for free essentials, no questions asked. The community’s support, whether through donations or shopping, directly helps neighbors get back on their feet. It’s amazing to see how many return to give back. What do you think our community can do to make second chances easier for everyone? #Safety #Boise #SecondChances

Boise’s outlet mall: What could have been

The Boise Factory Outlet Mall is finally coming down after 32 years, making way for a truck dealership. Locals have long wondered what could have saved this once-bustling spot. Many say it just needed the right mix of stores—think Lululemon, Nike, Coach, Patagonia, and Michael Kors outlets. Jazzercise Boise is moving to a new, more central location, but the loss of this mall is a reminder of how retail has shifted. What stores would have made you visit more often? Do you think Boise still needs a true outlet center, or has online shopping changed the game for good? #Shopping #Boise #Retail

Boise’s Sammy Smith races toward Olympic dreams

Sammy Smith, a Boise High grad, just pulled off back-to-back national ski titles in Lake Placid—while also juggling college soccer at Stanford! She dominated the classic sprint, finishing nearly 7 seconds ahead of the next skier, and she’s now a top contender for the U.S. Olympic cross country ski team heading to Milano Cortina. All this, right after starting in the NCAA soccer championship game last month. It’s wild to see someone excel at two sports on a national stage. How do you think balancing two elite sports shapes an athlete’s mindset and future? #Sports #Boise #Olympics
