Happening in Boise: Heat and Soccer Feats
<p>Welcome to Happening in Boise, the Treasure Valley's daily reality check seasoned with just enough sarcasm to help the local news go down easier. Join Mark and Joleen as they navigate the headlines that actually matter--from the massive new St. Luke's tower looming over downtown to the judgmental red pandas moving into Zoo Boise. This episode dives into the "mathematical trap" of the Boise real estate market, the 35-year sentencing of a local credit union robber, and why the Micron expansion is turning the Connector into a permanent parking lot. Whether we're celebrating an AC Boise soccer win, tracking the Boise Hawks' latest victory, or warning you about a triple-digit heatwave that might actually melt your shoes into the sidewalk, we provide a balanced look at the city's growth without the corporate sugar-coating. Subscribe for your daily dose of local updates, community event coverage like Art and Roses, and essential survival tips for the Boise Fourth of July season.</p>

Happening in Boise: Soccer records, Spud Daddy, and the 94-degree sweat-fest
<p>Join Mark and Joleen for a dry, honest, and deeply local look at the Treasure Valley in this episode of Happening in Boise. We kick things off with some rare good news as Athletic Club Boise clinches a record-breaking win, before pivoting to the frustrating reality of the city's vanishing soul as Asana Climbing Gym faces closure due to skyrocketing rents. From the "community classroom" controversy at Owyhee Elementary to the labyrinth of construction detours on the Greenbelt and State Street, we navigate the growing pains of a city that seems to be outgrowing its own pants. Get the latest on the Boise Music Festival lineup, the massive pound-and-a-quarter tubers at Spud Daddy, and a sobering update on the Meridian housing sprawl as we prepare for a triple-digit heatwave. Whether you're here for the Boise Hawks scores or just to hear us judge your vanity license plates, tune in for seventeen minutes of pure Boise reality that's just a little bit edgier than your neighborhood newsletter.</p>
