Start Here: Welcome to Life in Boise
Welcome welcome welcome! (Longer read, but I promise it's worth it!) If you just moved here... you made a killer move! If you've been here for a while... you might be able to suggest some stuff I forgot or didn't know about! No matter what... I need your help Because I've been working on this for a while now! (and by a while, I mean weeks, maybe even months if you count the lists Courtney and I have been making of our favorite restaurants lol) The goal here is to create a place that's ACTUALLY social... not this freaking social media crap, where I post a video of the truck show we just went to so that you can save it and hopefully remember next year when it comes back. Today I'm launching "Life in Boise" to be a SOCIAL group A group for people who want to find a community beyond their computers (yeah, I see the irony of starting something on my computer to get me off my computer... but what's life without a little confusion) That means I need y'alls support! - I need you to add recommendations that I missed - I need you to answer questions you see even if you think someone else might have a better answer - I want to see people planning get togethers at Freedom Park, and riding dirt bikes in the Owyhees I'm starting this group because I started noticing a pattern... So many people are moving to Idaho (last I checked, almost 60% of the state were transplants) that some people are waiting for a "welcoming committee" for lack of a better term that never comes because people are moving in at such a high rate that they get lost in the mix. The goal here is to BE that welcoming committee. I'm going to try and welcome you, give you recommendations, and my hope is that you'll be the welcoming committee for someone else... (WE CAN BUILD COMMUNITY ONE PERSON AT A TIME!) Sidenote I thought of as I'm writing this: I'm gonna be straight up with you... if you're moving to Boise, you're gonna run into losers online who are unhappy with their life and want to blame the people moving here for that... The thing about them though... they stay online. I've never once run into someone who's like that in real life. That behavior will also not be tolerated here. This group is for people who want to enjoy Boise, not complain about it.

Caldwell has two Fred Meyer stores in the works
If you’ve heard about a new Fred Meyer in Caldwell, there’s actually two separate projects to keep straight The north Caldwell store is expected to open in late January 2027 Then there’s another one planned for south Caldwell, at the northeast corner of Karcher and Indiana. That one’s part of Karcher Commons, and it’s expected to open in 2028 with a fuel center too So if you’re near Karcher and wondering when that one’s coming... it’s still a ways out. The north Caldwell location is the one that’s getting closer More about the two Caldwell stores https://www.kivitv.com/caldwell/fred-meyer-announces-plan-to-build-second-store-in-south-caldwell

If you’ve heard about the airport expanding, here’s what’s actually planned They’re planning a new Concourse A with seven gates to start, and room to expand to ten The airport’s official 2026 plan puts completion in 2030, with improvements to Concourse B coming after that So it’s still a ways out. This isn’t something you’re gonna walk through on your next trip It’ll give the airport more room for flights, but we don’t have specific new destinations tied to it yet.

Meta’s data center is up and running — Kuna
That big Meta project in Kuna is officially operating Meta announced September 3 that the data center is online. They say the project represents more than $1.2 billion in investment If you’re wondering what it actually does, it houses the computing equipment that helps run their technologies and services So after years of construction, they’ve reached the point where they’re actually using it One thing to keep in mind when you see job numbers for stuff like this... the people building it and the people working there once it’s running are different numbers More about Meta’s Kuna data center https://datacenters.atmeta.com/2026/09/kuna-we-are-online/
