I went in to Crickets Bar and Grill today for their famous Taco Tuesday and lo and behold… new carpet. It looks quite impressive. They’ve also re-tiled the bathrooms as well. Not too bad for a corner bar.
Apparently the old carpet had been there for about 17 years. that is about 12 years too long. So… Kudos to Sharon the owner and Krista the manager for getting that done.
For those who don’t know, Crickets is around the intersection of Beacon and Boise Ave. At the base of protest hill.
If you were downtown this morning you may have seen a fellow boisean sporting his stuff. Domenico Lee Triolo Jr., was arrested downtown this morning wearing nothing but a long sleeve T-shirt. The article where I read this pointed out (without reason) that the temperature was 51 degrees at the time of the arrest. Hmm. Okay, I guess maybe there was a little shrinkage going on.
I’ve been looking for houses for a while now. I’ve seen about a hundred and none have done anything for me. Actually, not true. There were a couple just blocks apart and I had to decide ‘tween the two. The one I chose is an older home from the early 60’s it is off of Cole and Ustick. It is a brick home with a good sized yard. When you walk into the place you get a comfortable feeling. The floors are all hardwood and it has a fireplace. The kitchen is just about the right size.
I close on the 26th and am very excited as this is my first home. I think this is a house I will be in for a long long time.

I’ve been looking for a house. Even though the economy isn’t doing well and it is showing in my paycheck, I figure now is the best chance for me to get a house that will fit me for the price.
There are some nice houses out there for the price. Many of the houses have dropped their prices. Houses that were out of my price range a couple of months ago are now dropping into my price range. I’m very excited.
I went out looking today and found 5-6 houses that are very nice and very nicely priced. However, when you get inside sometimes that is a different story. I went to a house last week down off of Desert st. From the outside the house looked okay. It had plenty of yard with it. About .40 acres or around there. When you walked in the musty smell was very noticeable and one of the back rooms smelled of urine. the kitchen seemed like it had been painted one too many times and the washer and dryer was in the family room in a small closet.
Anyway, I’ll keep looking and for those interested, I’ll keep you updated.
