New Store in Twin Falls Now Open and Having Grand Opening
The Magic Valley is continuing to grow, specifically Twin Falls. Part of that is new businesses moving in all the time. When a new store opens, it is exciting to see what they have and what they offer to the area. It also means a grand opening will likely happen, and those can be a ton of fun, and sometimes lead to free stuff, depending on the type of business. The time for another grand opening has arrived, as a new store in Twin Falls is now open and is set to announce its arrival this weekend.

An Open Letter of Apology to the Good People of Shoshone
While I wish I could be counted among those born and raised in The Gem State, I didn’t get to call Idaho home until 1987. I was born in Wisconsin and spent a few years in Florida before moving to the Northwest. I spent my childhood moving all over the northwest, including Oregon, Washington State, and Colorado, before I finally settled in Idaho during my early teens. I’ve lived in Idaho the majority of my life, and I love this land, but I’ve been doing my good neighbors in Shoshone, Idaho dirty this entire time.
