False start for Dunkin’: Proposal for first local location pulled over grease concern
Dunkin’ won’t enter the Treasure Valley with a location at the Northgate Shopping Center on State St. after all. The donut and coffee chain is looking to add as many as 20 locations across the Boise area, according to two commercial real estate firms. As BoiseDev reported last month, Ethos Architecture Group applied to the City of Boise to convert a current Papa Murphy’s store at 6940 W. State St. near Glenwood into a new donut shop location.

Observatories, Planetariums, & Locations for Stargazing in Boise
While dating, my husband would often point out stars and constellations during our late nights. He grew up lying in the backyard, picking out constellations. Now he’s sharing his love of the night sky with our kids. He loves pulling up stargazing apps on his phone to map out the stars and teaching the boys how to recognize them on their own. If you’re stargazing with kids in Boise, the Treasure Valley has more to offer than you’d think: a state park observatory, free planetarium shows, and some of the darkest skies in the country.
