I agree with those who site the good ol' boy network. As far as the good ol' gal network, yes, I believe that exists too, although not to the extent. Much depends on who those good ol' gals married (or at least, in most cases). I don't know the reason behind the firing of Kris Carlson. What I do know is that she went from waiting table (Cedrics cafe and North Hiway), as a cheerful, friendly, outgoing young woman (receiving the tips many of us so generously gave her) - to working at IFPD marking chalk on cars parked too long in one spot. She turned into a sober faced, if not perpetually frowning, clearly unhappy person who seemed to have felt superior to those of us who tipped her so well before. Personally, I made every attempt to continue being friendly to her in spite of the nasty looks she gave many of us who had once liked her. Then she got the job at animal control and quite honestly, wasn't any friendlier. Perhaps she expressed her attitude to someone who didn't appreciate it and was in the position of repremanding her for it? Just a thought.

Tell your family! Tell your co-workers! Bring up IdahoFallz.com at every computer you get a chance to grab the keyboard! You haven't heard because we have no budget for advertising, and media coverage has been limited. We rely entirely on word-of-mouth. It's hard for most websites to do that; we figure it should be easy since our focus is a small geographic area. You didn't hear because nobody told you. Don't let that happen to the people you know; tell everyone! Tell your friends!

Tell your family!

Just wanted to say what a great job ya'll are doing!

Go to the website villa2929.com. The building the developers are proposing is a medical office building, three stories high. Actually it is set to be two building connected by a skyway. Another interesting thing is some of the developers (firms) are foreign companies, which in my opinion means more and more investors may be looking to this area. The medical sector in I.F. is strong and shall continue to grow. Here is a good example of a new project in the works. Go to the website villa2929.com.

It appears to be in the planning committee meetings in I.F. right now. Remember all of us that want notes of meetings, this would sure be easier to access on the city's web site. The other one was strictly Taylor's Crossing. Costco coming to I.F. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=109158 Paula,

How did you find this site? Have you referred 5-10 of your friends? If you know of businesses that might want to be profiled, those are things that might be helpful to Joe. I owe Paula this web site, but it's a little hard to fit into the chat. This is interesting as it talks about the potential for growth of all cities. This is also the site where they named Costco as coming to Idaho Falls. You might be interestd in this site. So that I could show Paula to the direct comment, I am deep into this web site. But, anyone should be able to find their way back out to the Skyscrapers site. Here's the Costco reference: http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/showthread.php?t=109531. A lot of people think there are good things down the road for Idaho Falls. I remember one chat where a person (and I apologize for not remembering the name) talked about I.F. being a corrider of energy. Between INL and the Windmills, it could really develope into someting bigger than some people think. Clearly, the Walker brothers think so. Plus the other new developments planned. Paula, I hope you read this, as I have owed you this web site for quite a while. It's actually quite interesting, at least to me. And, what I really like is the respect those who post in the various threads show each other. Dustin, please don't take this wrong, I'm just curious. What makes you think the I.F. metro area will grow so much? I'm not saying I disagree, I just wonder if it's a gut feeling for you, knowledge of projects to come or something else? I agree that Iona is basically Idaho Falls. I find it easier to just refer to the Bonneville County population, goods and services. Glad to have you on board. I look forward to many chats with you, I hope. Dustin, I like your optomistic view and share it. How did you find this site? Have you referred 5-10 of your friends?

I have been a (resident) of Idaho Falls for most of my life besides the two years I lived in Boise. I live in Iona, which I actually consider to be (part) of IF. Everything that happens in IF affects Iona, I use alot of IF's infrastructure and am extremely excited about the growth the area is going through and the growth that is going to happen. I believe IF will be a (major) city in the Intermountain West very soon, within five years at the most, and look forward to any critisism, constructive mainly, that I can give to make this metro area what it should be, and hopefully we can bring a voice to city and county leaders to let our elected leaders know how we feel. I appreciate your reply and look forward to any feedback I can give. I would like to know how to become a (poster) for the site.
