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

Tired of high restaurant prices? Boise ranks among cheapest cities for this meal
Want a strategy to save money the next time you go out to eat? Scan the menu prices. You’ll probably lose your appetite. Dining at restaurants has become a wallet-pinching luxury for many Americans, thanks to the nation’s unforgiving economy. But if you live in Boise, there’s at least one type of meal priced among the lowest in the country. At least according to a new study from online ordering platform DoorDash. The price of a cheeseburger, fries and soda in Boise averaged $15.04 in DoorDash’s second annual State of Local Commerce Report, which tracks “affordability, new business openings, and how people live and shop across the 100 largest U.S. cities,” according to a press release. That’s the fourth-lowest price, believe it or not — and a whopping $3.57 below the 100-city national average. (By the way, what’s the cost of a Whopper nowadays, you ask? Still under $10 for a Burger King Whopper Meal in Boise — if you stick with the small fries and small drink.) Obviously, DoorDash’s report is not exactly comprehensive. Not every restaurant uses DoorDash. And depending on where you dine in Boise, it’s not uncommon to find a burger alone priced at more than

Boise targets rats and turkeys with new nuisance ordinance
Boise’s new nuisance ordinance is aimed at two very different pests: invasive rats and increasingly troublesome wild turkeys.
