Where is this?

Tried to buy this post card. Any ideas where it was taken? I’m stumped. Maybe 8th street, looks like the old Hotel Boise sign way in the back.

Schultz-Monday Follies

December 28th, 2008

 

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the ‘Peanuts’ comic strip. You don’t have to actually answer the questions. Just read the e-mail straight through, and you’ll get the point.

1 Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2 Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3 Name the last five winners of the Miss America.

4 Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5 Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

6 Name the last decade’s worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners .

Here’s another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1 List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2 Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3 Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4 Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.

5 Think of five people you enjoy spending time with .

Easier?

The lesson:

The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care .

‘Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today.

It’s already tomorrow in Australia

 (Charles Schultz)

In response to Richard.
Richard-The simple answer is that spam overwhelmed the site. The good son reinstalled the software, increased the protection and it shouod be OK.

Did ya miss me?

Or does 7 days without Boisee.com make one weak?

Been locked out of the blog for a while. Have it back now. So it’s back to as close to normal as it ever gets.

Your comments please!

The comment system is still pretty screwed up. Basically I need to approve you’re 1st comment. The problem is that it might get buried in the now 12,657 other spam comments. if you send in a comment, also send it to daverday<AT>gmail.com(replace the <at> with @) so I can go looking for it. THANKS

Polaroid Film-Almost dead

December 18th, 2008

This is about as off topic for Boisee.com as you can get. However, I find it soo sad that the Polaroid company will quit making film as of December 31st. One of my favorite cameras was my moms old SX70. Something about the way the picture POPed out of the front. Standing there shaking the image as it slowly developed. So what if it was a tiny, faded image. It was right there! 

 

RIP SX-70,

Should be a better caption then that!

City grill?-Update

December 5th, 2008

The big hole swallows a restaurant. The disaster that is the Boise Tower has claimed another very unfortunate victim! The City Grill. A letter from owners Mitch and Christine, explains that although biz was off a bit, it was still pretty good and the holiday parties were booked solid. The real reason for the closure was the bankruptcy of the former landlord, and the subsequent inflexibility of the new owner. Without a solid lease and a rapidly degrading building in need of Lot’s of improvements, something had to give. Sadly it was City Grill.

Expect a big chain soon, however we have heard that Ruth’s Chirs wisely passed and went to the Royal as Boisee.com indicated a long while back.

C G was one of my favorites and will be missed. Don’t think Boisee.com is the only one that hates it when local businesses are kicked to the curb for some outside deal.

The good news! Pair is going strong and will honor ALL City Grill gift certificates.

Art For Art-GRAND OPENING
