Thats my state!

32 Thousand is a great price for a house like that. would be great today also.

"Progressivism took hold and started to clean up the Gilded Age's corruption in business and politics"... What a crock of nonsense.

I remember the bishop’s house, I was part of the young adults conservation core, and we actually got to do some drywalling in the bishop house before reopened up

Pretty sure Simplot was not headquartered in Boise proper till well after the war.

This video is a very enjoyable and educational glimpse of some of Boise’s earlier years. Our family moved to Boise around 1946 (I was 9 years old, my brother was 7 and our sister was 4). We kids all attended Park School which was then on Main Street near downtown. Dad, a WW1 veteran, had worked for J.A. Terteling on military construction projects in an around Babbit, NV during WW2. We really thought we were moving to the big city when we came to Boise!

Ya im calling bs on the union block

The story about the hs is total nonsense. Id suggest you go back and listen to the dates you suggest and ask yourself if they built a hs that opened in 1902 that was supposed to serve boise forever why would they build it "hastily" and then start construction on a new one 6 years later. Clearly there's something else going on there that isnt being told.

Nice, informative video. But after more than 15 years, I think it's time to update it to reflect the many changes that have taken place in that decade and a half.

0:20 - I ate at that Blimpie when I was a kid living on Boise. We would ride our bikes into town just to eat there. It was my favorite place to eat as a kid.

Glass windows?? Wow ya don't say!

Background piano too loud. It is beautiful but drowns you out.

I can’t see the Federal Courthouse as beautiful. It looks brutal

Urban Renewal=Urban Removal. Loss of history and connection

Narration is too quiet. Then, there's music over it.

Thank you for this entire series of videos. The history of Boise is one-of-a-kind.

Boring

Turn the music OFF and talk LOUDER please..

Slight correction, the JROTC presence in the basement of the East Wing of Boise High lasted into at least the mid-1980s. I graduated in 1983, and visited in 1984 and it was still there. But when I returned in 1992 it had left.

I agree the music is too loud in the background while the messenger is speaking.

I lived in Boise in the mid 60's to 1973. I remember getting my first car which was a corvair. I drove it downtown for the first time and parked behind or on the side of the 88 cent store. I came out to leave and the motor was on fire & somebody extinguished it before the fire dept came. The corvair motors was in the back. I was young but I loved Boise and I could get around easy.. I suppose it is more difficult now with so many people. I believe we lived over by Vista around Shoshone St. I remember we had to irrigate a certain day of the week. Do they still do that now? Inam just curious on so many things.. We loved the Red Steer also Albertson's and I believe Safeway and Article Circles was there. The Grand Centrals also my favorite Delsa's ice cream on Ustick Rd. My first time eating pizza was in Boise and I believe Pizza just came to Boise. Is Lucky Peak and Ann Morrison, Julia Davis Park still there? Have fun and enjoy life in Boise, also lived in Emmett and Grangeville. All very beautiful.

My dad worked there and ended up being general manager❤❤

Would be nice to see MORE buildings, contruction of said buildings or even early pictures of all architectures. But alas...probably doesnt exist.

I love the history! Watched them all 😄

There needs to be more updates/videos 😊 I love the history!

Quite Anti American. Burn and bum Nixon and then all of a sudden happy music applauds Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter did not help America. The Democrats ran away from him. The White House was bare. Jimmy had no chance of winning. A lot of propaganda. You speak of Boise back then like it was Los Angeles or Dallas. Boise was like other cities you repeatedly say. Honestly Boise had blinking yellow lights downtown after 8 o'clock at night past the year 1989. Boise was a small town. Meridian was just a speedway. And Caldwell and Nampa were just good for a hotel room. This is sad. Not educational. I stamp this Propaganda.

Would like to have that 'cuda!

I was born and primarily grew up in Boise in the 1970s & 1980s. I left in the early 1990s and have absolutely no intention of living there again. The city that I knew as a child, teen and then young adult has been destroyed. Thanks to the recent influx of residents, especially from California, has made it basically impossible for any native Idahoan to be able to buy or afford ANY rental in the Treasure Valley. Boise could have actually planned for the growth, which they NEVER did. It should not take over an hour just to get from one side of town to another.

Maybe a little more background with the background music. Maybe vary the volume, now that would be creative.

Same damn unrelenting music as the previous episodes. Had to mute and watch with subtitles.

The music is unrelenting and distracts from the narration. Had to mute and watch with subtitles.

This series should be essential viewing for new and longtime residents alike!

Well that was a damn mistake now wasnt it

Time to move on..... where are the 1980's, 1990's, and the new 21st century?

Although Americans see themselves as the complete opposite of the Communists, they were the same in their treatment of historic buildings in the 1970s or worse. The cities in the countries behind the Iron Curtain were often also literally "bombed" by excavators to create a place for the future cutting off from the past. Usually, however, it was not as insane as in the United States. At the same time, people remained living in the city centers and there were no unregulated suburbs and dead city centers as in the US.

Rather ugly buildings built in the late 60s.

It's so nice to have found this.

I love the mid century modern homes of the late 50;s to the mid 70,s.

Jeezus fucking christ do you have to play that fucking music all the way thru the whole fucking video? Gimme a break. Music is a little okay to introduce your topic, but please get off it,

Did anyone noticed the MasterCharge, than MasterCard? Visa used to be BankAmericard.

Interesting contemporary modern architcture! I am into old malls, modern contemporary designs, but I hate seeing them torned down for new shopping centers.

fake history

There was such optimism in this era. I was once looking at some old photos with my mum and there was one of her in the mid 50s in the first bungalow my mum and dad bought (we're in England by the way) and I said to her how optimistic things looked then and she agreed. A newly married couple buying their first, newly built home was a big deal. New homes with clean lines, lots of light and air, and all mod cons, and a car in the driveway. People were building the future and looking forward to living in it. We are so negative by comparison now.

An amazingly beautiful town at a very early age in its development. It's still a beautiful town!

Did anyone else have problems with the sound? The narrator came in and out with extremely low volume. It sounds like the audio was done on only one channel. Please consider fixing this because it seriously detracts from an otherwise excellent video presentation.

I love to learn about Boise. I've been living here for 30 years and Idaho for 43 years.

Thanks for the wonderful short history of Boise.

I remember the building at 3:15 in the background, with the neon “Warehouse” sign on top, but can’t recall exactly where it was. Wasn’t it a furniture place?
