Emberlight Nexus: New community space keeps Pocatello gathering until 3 a.m.
POCATELLO — A new community gathering space on South 5th Avenue is inviting adventurers of every background to pull up a chair, play a game or simply find company well into the night, with doors open until 3 a.m. Emberlight Nexus, at 2500 S. 5th Ave., is open Wednesday through Sunday from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. The building has 8,500 square feet of usable indoor space, four main rooms and access to a fenced outdoor area. It could hold nearly 500 people standing, and individual rooms typically seat 30 to 50. The name comes from a story co-owner LeaAnne Poitra built around the idea of a community campfire. Envision a lost traveler immersed in an expanse of dark forest. In the distance is a faint but inviting glow that can be seen through the thicket of trees. As the traveler approaches, they find a solitary ember in an empty fire pit. The wanderer throws on a bit of kindling, and the ember wakes into flame. Another adventurer happens by, and then another, each adding a bit more wood. A new face adds a pot and kettle, and a new friend has rations to spare. By morning, the lone ember

Construction on Yellowstone Avenue to begin next week
POCATELLO — The Idaho Transportation Department will begin replacing damaged concrete on Yellowstone Avenue, U.S. Highway 91, on Monday evening. Work will begin at the intersection of Yellowstone Avenue and Flandro Drive, according to a news release from ITD. There will be several detours near Costco in order to create a safe work zone for construction crews. During the project, there will be no right turns onto Yellowstone from eastbound Flandro Drive when leaving Costco. Drivers visiting Costco will need to use the parking lot exit to the south. There will also be no left turns on Flandro Drive for drivers going toward Costco from Yellowstone Avenue. Drivers will need to use Quinn Road and Hiline Road. The pedestrian crosswalk on the southwest side of the intersection near Costco will be closed during the project, and pedestrians will need to detour to Pearl Street instead. Traffic is expected to remain in this pattern through October, and the project is expected to be completed at some point in 2027. Yellowstone Avenue provides access to many businesses, residences and services. Several areas have deteriorated due to heavy use. The new concrete is expected to last 20 years.

Pocatello's Haunted History Tours return to kick off Halloween season featuring downtown's warehouse district
POCATELLO — The wailing whispers of wraiths will echo in Historic Downtown’s warehouse district when the annual Haunted History Tours return Saturday and into the Halloween season. Attendees of the popular downtown event, now in its 16th year, will tour four warehouse district buildings that are normally closed or restricted to the public, including two basement levels. Nothing is staged, and no actors are waiting in the shadows, so any frights guests experience could be paranormal in nature. “We don’t have ghosts in the corners and people popping out at you,” said Stephanie Palagi, president and CEO of Historic Downtown Pocatello. “None of this is staged.” Opening night is Saturday, Oct. 3. The tours return on Fridays and Saturdays through Oct. 24. Groups leave every 30 minutes from 6 to 8 p.m., starting at the Avenue Event Center at the Museum of Clean, 711 S. Second Ave. Each group follows a guide on a walk of about 10 blocks through the streets and buildings of the district. Organizers suggest guests arrive 10 minutes before their tour starts. At each location, guests will have the chance to explore sections of the building while they learn historical facts and details about one
