364 days a year, the world doesn't revolve around you. But there's one day on the calendar every year that you absolutely get to make all about you...your birthday!. That's the one day where you absolutely get to make the day all about you and do whatever your little heart desires! If that means running all over the Treasure Valley picking up as many freebies as you can, so be it. Our girl Kindra did exactly that and logged the entire experience in a TikTok video that looked like an absolute blast.

Sure, the COVID-19 pandemic pushed back two of the most anticipated female-focused superhero movies of all time and caused production delays on the Disney+ series that Marvel teased us with in 2019...but 2020 wan't a total loss for every fandom!. Star Wars lovers got a new season of The Mandalorian...

As more and more people move to the Treasure Valley from California and other parts of the country, it's becoming easier and easier to spot a newbie. It's not the license plates or the overly aggressive driving that is giving it away, either. It's the way they pronounce certain local streets. I have found that these are the six streets that newcomers have the most trouble with. Keep reading to see which Idaho towns they always misspell.

Earlier this week, Canada announced that they're almost ready to welcome back American tourists for the first time in over 16 months. Before the COVID-19 pandemic closed the border between the United States and Canada, Idahoans could drive into British Columbia through two different entry points: Porthill and Eastport. You haven't been able to make the crossing for non-essential travel since March 2020, but that changes next month.

For many years, the Olympic Village has had a reputation for being a place where athletes engage in some risqué business. Knowing that hook-ups in the village are inevitable, games organizers have been handing out condoms to the athletes since the 80s. According to USA Today, Tokyo's ordered at least 150,000 of them for this year's games but will not hand them out until the athletes depart the Olympic Village for the final time. They're meant to be a souvenir and a PSA about raising HIV/AIDS awareness.

The City of Boise completed the construction and opened its newest park. Bowler Park is an over 24-acre park with beautiful views and activities for your entire household. The park is named for the couple Beth and Bruce Bowler, who donated the land for a park in 1995. The park is located in the highly scenic Surprise Valley in Southeast Boise.

When you think of Idaho you most likely don't think of fairytales or kings and queens in big castles. Missive and lavish castles are something other worldly to me. You would have to travel to Ireland or France or some other far away land to see one in person. The medieval architecture, drawbridges, gargoyles, knights armor, towers, and even secret passages can be found right here in the gem state.

Unless you're a saint, you probably do this 100 times or more a day. Little did we know that in Caldwell, you can actually be arrested for it. It happened this past week and now we're going to be REAL careful when we're out and about. Idaho has some really...

There are so many cool things about this 116 year old building, we don't know exactly where to begin! So, let's start at the beginning...shall we?. The very first entity to call 105 E Wallace Avenue in Coeur d'Alene home was the Roosevelt School. It first opened its doors to students in 1905 and continued to operate as a four room school house until 1972.

There's no denying it, Boise Towne Square Mall isn't what it used to be when it opened 33 years ago. Heck, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, it isn't even what it used to be two years ago. A few Fridays back, we ventured out to the mall to grab a...

UFO sightings date back to biblical times. According to stacker,. The Bible's Book of Ezekiel describes a mysterious ship appearing from the sky in Chaldea (modern-day Kuwait). In 218 B.C. strange sightings were recorded around Rome. In fourth-century China a “moon boat” was documented floating over the country once every...

Have you ever watched shows like Jeopardy and The Price is Right and thought "I could do that!" Or even "I could do so much better!" Well one Boise man got his chance to shine not once but twice. Joshua Saak is a Boise Traffic Engineer and is using his smarts to get him some serious dough on the show. According to CBS2, Joshua has been on Jeopardy! twice and just won his second straight victory last night (Monday).

A piece of President Joe Biden's recently released American Families Plan aims to provide school lunches throughout the summer to some 29 million school-aged children. If passed, the proposal would greatly expand the current school lunch program and ensure that millions of food-insecure children are guaranteed at least one meal each day. Throughout the pandemic, a short-term version of the program has been in place, but this new proposal would make it permanent.

Cactus Petes in Jackpot has made the announcement and confirmed that the buffet will remain closed permanently. It will be redone as a different food option. Whether it will be a food court or something else has not been announced yet. Cactus Petes Resort Casino shared on their Facebook page...

We get it. It's been stupid hot. We're trying to make the very best of it by spending time floating the river, splashing down the slides at Roaring Springs and frolicking through splash pads. But these billboards? They just seem to be adding injury to insult!. Pretty much everything I...

It's something we never really thought about until it was called out in several negative reviews of Boise's most popular hiking trail on Yelp. Like the sky being blue or the grass being green, we just accepted the 60 foot tall cross perched at the end of Table Rock's plateau as something that just "is." However, one Yelp reviewer felt like "Did we need to put a cross on it?" was a question for the ages, so that's when we got curious about why it was actually there.

After well over a year of COVID-19 essentially ruling our lives, we're hearing more and more about the increase in cases. Battles over vaccinations are calling for heated debates nationwide--here locally, protests in the thousands are making noise. In the background, many businesses have been adopting new rules--any of which...

You thought single game tickets going on sale this morning was exciting? This announcement blows ticket sales out of the water!. If you've been to a Boise State game, how many times have you been guilty of cheering your lungs out in the first half, only to never walk back into Albertsons Stadium during the second half? If you're watching the games on TV, it's fairly obvious that Bronco Nation thins out inside the stadium after halftime.

It may have been a cool 72º inside our studio this morning, but as we watched the skies get dark and the winds pick-up, we had no idea what was brewing outside. According to the National Weather Service in Boise, the showers that blew through the Treasure Valley during the early hours of the morning commute created something called a "heat burst." The American Meteorological Society's "Glossary of Meteorology" defines a heat burst as:
