Sixteen Thousand Years Of History Wait Inside The Idaho Museum Of Natural History In Pocatello

A shark with a spiral of teeth shaped like a buzz saw once swam over what is now Idaho. One small university museum holds more fossils of that strange fish, called Helicoprion, than anywhere else on Earth. That alone would justify a road trip. The same building also shows off...

Chicago made, Goombah’s offers a taste of home to friends new and old

SHELLEY — Started less than a month ago, Goombah’s welcomes friends new and old to try food from their hometown of Chicago. Timothy Miller, founder of Goombah’s, told EastIdahoNews.com that he had originally done events like Pioneer Days at Homestead Park, but then moved to start his own food stall. Originally from Chicago, he found it easy to draw inspiration for the food he wanted to serve. The name of his food stall also nods to his childhood, when he recalled stories of his mother being a neighbor of Al Capone’s mom. He said he became infatuated with the stories of the Chicago mob; his wif...

ISU graduate and former Pebble Creek ski instructor publishes children’s book

SU graduate and former Pebble Creek ski instructor publishes children’s book POCATELLO — A former Pebble Creek ski instructor and Idaho State University graduate has published a book to inspire young children to have the confidence to learn to ski. Josh Kent, the author of the book titled “Send It Sally Goes Skiing,” said in emails to the Idaho State Journal that he graduated from ISU back in 2005. He worked as a ski instructor for Pebble Creek during his years in college. “Those days at The Rock inspired me to write ‘Send It Sally Goes Skiing,’” Kent said in the emails. “Send It Sally Goes Skiing” is a rhyming book for children ages 2 to 10. It follows its title character, Sally, and her friends as they have fun skiing on the mountain. “It’s all about courage, confidence and having fun on snow,” Kent said in the emails. “I wrote it to inspire my niece to rip after teaching her three older brothers to charge.” Since the book has been published, it has made its way to the shelves of many ski lodges, including Pebble Creek, where it is on display for parents who want to sign their children

Five days of razor clam digs begin Saturday

Five days of razor clam digs begin Saturday at Copalis and Mocrocks beaches. “Marine toxins continue to linger above the closure level for Long Beach and Twin Harbors, but thankfully the northern beaches of Copalis and Mocrocks remain low enough for harvest,” state Department of Fish and Wildlife coastal shellfish biologist Bryce Blumenthal said in a news release. “The first set of digs proved to be a challenge for those who made it out, and an increased swell forecast with less deep low tides will make digging even more difficult during this upcoming tide series.”

Everyone Shops At Albertsons But This Idaho Antique Store Has Sold Real Furniture Since 1973

A store cat named Gandalf once roamed the aisles of an old Idaho building packed with wardrobes, sideboards, and carved bed frames. Yes, Gandalf. The owners mentioned him by name, and I can’t think of a better guide through a maze of antiques. The shop has been open since...

This Idaho Donut Shop Makes Its Donuts With Idaho Potatoes, And They Sell Out Early

Potatoes in the donut dough. Yes, real Idaho potatoes, worked right into the batter that turns into maple bars and huckleberry rings. I love how that sounds like a dare and ends up as breakfast. The shop behind it treats the spud like a secret weapon. The menu runs from...

Rustic Rock Coffee to hold grand opening of new Blackfoot location

BLACKFOOT — Newly opened coffee shop Rustic Rock Coffee is inviting the community to its grand opening on Friday that will offer customers great deals on drinks and fun prizes. Heidi Robertson, owner of Rustic Rock Coffee, said the grand opening of the new Blackfoot location will be held Nov. 6 at 830 Jensen Grove Drive. A ribbon-cutting will be held at noon. “We are opening our second location,” Robertson said. “The first location is in Shelley.” Robertson said she opened the original location at 580 N. State St. in Shelley five years ago after quitting her job as an art teacher to pursue her dream of owning a coffee shop. She saw a need for coffee shops in Shelley and wanted to fill that need for the community. “I believe coffee is community,” Robertson said. “It brings people together and makes their day.” Three years ago, Robertson started traveling to the Idaho Falls Farmers Market to sell her coffee. This made her realize that she should expand her business. She originally wanted to expand to Idaho Falls, but she couldn’t find a suitable location. “We found this place in Blackfoot, and we jumped on it,” Robertson said. “It’s the

This Idaho Breakfast Cafe Serves Fresh-Cut Hashbrowns And Smothers Its Biscuits In Sausage Gravy

The hash browns here aren’t shredded mush from a bag. They’re fresh-cut strips of potato, crunchy on the edges and soft in the middle. That alone got my attention. Then there’s the sausage gravy, ladled over biscuits and even poured on potatoes if you ask. Add an Idaho scone, a giant cinnamon roll, and plates that could feed two people.

This Old-School Idaho Bowling Alley Still Keeps Its Lanes Rolling And Its Cafe Counter Cooking

A bowling alley cafe in Idaho serves finger steaks, deep-fried pickles, and a 16-inch pizza you build yourself. Then somebody carries it straight to your lane. That alone sounds worth the drive. The same building also runs a pro shop, hosts rock n bowl nights, and opens its doors at breakfast time on most days.
