What is going on at The Port

3 Upvotes

I was just walking around the Health Center tonight and noticed they have cleared out the North side along Chubbuck Rd (I refuse to call it Venture Way) to make room for parking.

Aside from that, they appear to be doing a bunch of work up in the GA, Grass section. Looks like some permanent Cabana type structures, a new pathway traveling the GA section and possible 3 more concession booths.

Just couldn't get a clear enough look to see what they were doing.... And they had better hurry cuz Papa Roach is gonna be here in a couple of days.

Best Italian restaurant in Pokey?

I moved to Idaho / Pocatello 6 months ago after having lived in Connecticut / NYC my entire life, and I’m Italian American. Was wondering what the best Italian restaurant in town is? Doesn’t matter if it’s on the expensive side. I just miss authentic Italian food lol

Planning and zoning question

4 Upvotes

I recently bought a piece of property in Pocatello, an undeveloped plot adjacent to my house. I would like to build a garage, and potentially have a small loft apartment above the garage on this property. I’ve read a little bit about planning and zoning restrictions, and I think planning for such a building is a little above my level of expertise. I’m not sure really where to start as far as understanding this process. Should I be consulting with architects in the area familiar with planning and zoning restrictions? Does anyone have any recommendations? I am not an out of towner, or a big land developer who is trying to make a bunch of money as a slumlord. I’m just a person who would like a little more space to tinker on my projects, and maybe help someone out who’s looking for a cheap place to rent.

What are these little bugs??

Every year I see these tiny beetle looking bugs during the summer. They are pretty harmless, i think. They're just everywhere and annoying. Anyone have a solution to taking care of them?

Is Fort Bridger Haunted?

So, this is about 3hrs and some change from Pocatello. Totally worth the drive and the excursion if you're into paranormal and doing something different this summer.

WY's Cowboy State Daily just did a story on it. You can check that out here:
Ft. Bridger Ghostly Gold Rush

Thanks for taking a look at the attached flyer. Proceeds benefit the Ft. Bridger Historic Association.

Anyone else having USPS delivery problems?

3 Upvotes

I have two IRA roll over checks from Fidelity that were mailed to Idaho Central Credit Union's Pocatello PO box. One check was mailed May 12th . One check was mailed June 2nd. Neither has reached my credit union account yet. Fidelity says the checks have not been cashed. Credit Union says they have not received them.

I don't know if this is a postal service issue? Or, if they are sitting on someone's desk at ICCU? I have not been very happy with them since the merger.

Birthday camping trip in Pocatello (June 12th-13th - Looking for Sunday ideas!

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

My birthday is coming up and my partner and I are heading out to the Pocatello area for a camping trip Friday-Saturday (June12th-13th). We're planning to camp, relax, do some hiking, and just enjoy getting outdoors for the weekend.

We're trying to turn it into more of a weekend getaway, so we're looking for ideas on what we could do on Sunday before heading home. We're open to pretty much anything within a reasonable driving distance of Pocatello—scenic drives, hot springs, cool hikes, lakes, local attractions, hidden gems, good food spots, or anything unique that's worth checking out.

For those familiar with southeast Idaho, what would you recommend for a Sunday adventure? Any must-see places or favorite day-trip destinations?

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.
