Greetings, friends! This past weekend, the 206 was back in the 208 for the wedding of a good friend, the welcoming home of another, and scrambling around in between to take in as much (read: eat as much) and visit as many other friends as I possibly could. It was truly a great trip, and I was actually a bit sad to leave after such a whirlwind visit complete with many laughs and good times. In the span of the 48 hours or so I was in town, and without any deviation from my normal travel path during the trip, I captured the following images. I feel these photos serve as a very accurate representation of Boise (affirmations and rebuttals taken to the comments section, por favor). Feast your eyes, folks:
Taters, the main dispensary for Idaho souvenirs, potato-themed garbage,
and all other unnecessary Boise kitsch. I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed anyone
actually make a purchase at this shop, furthering my theory that the
Boise Chamber of Commerce is keeping the place afloat.
A sampling of the merchandise available at Taters. Sigh.
A booth at the Saturday farmers market in downtown Boise gives Taters a run for its money.
Crocs with socks at Bown Crossing. Had to include this one. *palm to forehead*
This dumb jock does NOT approve of such offensive footwear. (sidenote: This shirt got some really disapproving stares, particularly from people wearing Boise State gear, which was about 1 out of every 3 people I passed on the street. I DID, however, get a “We LOVE your shirt!” from a group of gorgeous gay men at the Flying M.)
Idaho loves its car window decals, and this truck has managed to round up all the classics in one ridiculous redneck display: bikini girls, hunting/wildlife décor, and the ever-popular
call to ‘GIT-R-DONE’. The only thing missing is a Scentsy advertisement.
And in the line at airport security, this gem. I would call this
gentleman Undateable, but I noticed he was wearing a wedding band.
I hope you enjoyed the tour. Until next time, Boise: stay classy.

Yo, chica! A clog is a clog and I have to say I'm not too horrified by the look of them. Please write a post about your picks for footwear for professionals on their feet ALL day – I refuse to believe fashionable comfort/comfortable fashion are oxymorons. :)Anyway, it was great to see you and I only wish we could've chatted longer! My Dansko-ed feet & I will try to make it to Seattle soon for a visit! -E
Hey, E! Comfort and fashion aren't mutually exclusive: great post idea. I will do some field work and report back. 🙂 Come visit!
