Boise’s approach to turkey troubles and rat reproach
BOISE — An ordinance passed by Boise City Council in October is serving as the city’s first step in tackling amassing complaints surrounding local pests. For the capital city, the focus has narrowed in on turkeys in northern Boise and invasive rats. The two animals are an unlikely pairing but have presented residents with similar challenges. “Both are sort of infiltrating Boise as pests, right?” Boise City Council Policy Advisor Emily Allen said. “So it was maybe, I don’t want to say luck, but a useful coincidence that by addressing some of these nuisance provisions, we were actually addressing two different types of pests.” A native population of turkeys has been wreaking havoc in the hills. Despite being from the area, the turkeys have become more prominent in neighborhoods and sometimes aggressive. Meanwhile, Idaho’s rat infestation has become a concern for all municipalities across the Treasure Valley. Rat populations are notoriously difficult to control. The common factor between both critters: food. “When we were looking at language in the ordinance, it really honestly had a lot of overlap in terms of what Idaho Fish and Game had told us was something we could address related to turkeys, as well as

Promising a ‘more affordable concert,' this major outdoor Boise show is coming
An outlaw-country singer with a headbanging past is coming to Boise for an outdoor concert next year. And he’s bringing a ticket deal that rocks. Cody Jinks & the Tonedeaf Hippies will bring “The Working Man Tour” to the Idaho Botanical Garden’s Outlaw Field June 19. Tickets sales for the public are set to start at 10 a.m. Friday for $65 at Ticketmaster . A $65 concert ticket isn’t an eyebrow-raising price in today’s economic climate. But it’s not chump change, either. So Jinks has a solution. “We know you’re working hard, so we’ve been working overtime to create a more affordable concert experience for you,” his Instagram account explained this week. The tour’s press release specifies that “groups of four will be able to attend for just $100 to $150, making it easier for fans to enjoy a full night of live music without the high costs that have become synonymous with going to a concert.” In Boise, that four-pack of tickets will cost $103 — or just over $25 per ticket. The package is limited, so frugal fans shouldn’t procrastinate. “Additionally,” the release says, “in every market possible, each venue will feature unique food and drink specials as

Boise targets rats and turkeys with new nuisance ordinance

After Burnout as a Tax Accountant, Boise Woman Opens Romance-Only Bookstore
Samantha Haroian spent nearly a decade crunching numbers as a tax accountant before burnout pushed her toward a very different kind of ledger: the one she keeps behind the counter of Hearts on Fire, a romance-only bookstore she owns in downtown Boise. The idea had been simmering since around 2018, and Haroian planned to open the shop in October 2025. Now it is becoming a gathering spot for the Treasure Valley's self-described hopeless romantics.
