Happening in Pocatello: Fire, 4-Day School Weeks, and the Best Damn Ice Cream
<p>Stay cool with Mark and Joleen on this June 22, 2026, episode of Happening in Pocatello as they navigate a week defined by scorched hillsides and questionable local decision-making. We dive into the containment of the Gap Fire and the BLM's rapid response, the school board's "slow-burn" committee approach to the four-day school week, and a blunt reminder to lock your doors following a string of avoidable University-area car burglaries. Between updates on the ongoing I-15 interchange headaches and the steady $370k median home prices, we highlight the best of the Portneuf Valley--from Scoops N Sliders' latest "Best Ice Cream" win to the classy new expansion at Cafe Tuscano. Whether you're preparing for the 90-degree heatwave or looking forward to Saturday's thunderstorm-induced cooldown, this episode provides a grounded, slightly cynical, and essential guide to everything currently shaping life in the Gate City.</p>
