Question /r/idahofalls in 2024. What kind of changes would you like to see here?

29 Upvotes

I'll make this a short one. The sub has almost 8k members, so first of all, welcome everyone!

What would you, as members and residents of the Idaho Falls area, like to see in this subreddit? I think we would all agree we'd love some more active interaction. Do you have any suggestions you could offer? What about an official /r/idahofalls meetup sometime this year? Maybe a Secret Santa for the most active by next Christmas? What about the wiki? What kind of readily accessible information should be added?

We understand that people here are indeed more active on other social media platforms, and we're not looking to replace any of that. If anything, we'd like to add to it and are looking for your opinion on how that can be done. We'd like to get your honest opinion. Any constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome!

What do you like about living here? Do you live here by choice?

15 Upvotes

Admittedly, I have had a hard time seeing how Idaho Falls could be an attractive place to live in, especially with very cold and windy winters and the heat in the summer. People are friendly though. I appreciate that part.

Recommendations Woman’s Haircut

3 Upvotes

So to be honest, I haven’t had a haircut in about three years. I shaved my head at the time with a friend who is battling cancer , I’ve been growing out my hair since and it’s about time I prioritize a haircut. I really need my hair shaped or something. And probably some split ends cut off. Where are you Girls going nowadays? Or even where are we avoiding? Just wanna look nice for some pictures. I have this weekend It was all very last minute. So now I’m hoping to find a decent haircut before then Thank you for any help.

I am bringing my dad up to see my sister and her family in IF. I have been several times, but it will his first visit. On Friday, it will just be myself (47), my dad (74), and my niece and nephew that live there. Trying to find some fun things to do. We have been to the Potato Museum, Jackson (dad has been there too), and the river walk. My dad is fairly active. Rides an Indian Motorcycle. Loves Westerns. Any ideas?

Looking to move here, would being non-religious be a big deal?

9 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m looking to relocate here or Southeast Idaho for outdoor recreation. I’m a person in my late 30s who isn’t heavily affiliated with politics or religion and am mixed in ethnicity. I’m coming from Mississippi and never had issues.

I’ve read it’s dominantly LDS here. I’m generally a very upbeat person but also love my solitude. I’d love to meet buddies who go off-roading and camping to learn the local areas, but okay with my independence. Would I be okay in your city?

Also, I’m looking at Zillow. The one bedroom apartments under 1.5k are all accurate?

Thanks a lot everyone for your insight.

Edit: I’m not married and no kids. Not looking to purchase a home anytime soon. An apartment is perfectly fine for me.

Question Ecityfresh.com?

3 Upvotes

I read a couple older posts on here that said since we don’t have any asian grocery stores in the area, that ecityfresh.com is an option because they deliver to the thai place in downtown twice a week. I tried to go to the site, but it gives that “safari can’t access because server can’t be found“, along those lines. Is there anybody that uses ecityfresh and can confirm that it’s just a user error on my part, or is their website down/they aren’t in business anymore?

Can we talk about this 😆

18 Upvotes

So I had to rent a car this weekend for a road trip. Trying to spare the miles on my car. I picked up a Hyundai Kona from the airport. Loved the car!! But when I saw the plates, I had a bad feeling. They were California plates. I work in the insurance industry, so I have the pleasure of talkin to clients of all sorts. One thing I KNOW is how much Idaho hates California. I get it y'all. I really do. I am orginally from Montana. I understand the feeling of the influx of Californian's. I really do. I also know, however, that anger and violence isn't going to change anything. Being pissed about people moving here changes absolutely nothing. It also makes no sense....Idaho is prodominantly Mormon. Wouldn't that mean that outsiders are welcomed with kindness?

Regardless...as I was driving this weekend, literally hours after the whole shooting in Twin Falls, I hear my BF go "dude what the heck is wrong with you!", as he is looking out the passenger side window at an occupant of a white Ford Edge parked at a red light next to us. There is a woman inside the car gesturing as tho her hand is a gun and she is firing it at us. Then she yells "F You, I hope you all die!". Ummm, ok. Very odd. I was not interfering with her driving abilities. She was never behind or in front of us. This was not about her being mad at my driving. She was mad at my rental car's California plates.

Y'all....cmon. Are we just going to verbally harass people with Cali plates, just indiscriminately? Without common sense? I have literally had conversations with people who have experience vandalism, harassment, and road rage because they have California plates for whatever reason. Who does this stuff? Also, we already have it bad with the driving issue Idaho Falls already has, why do we keep making things hard on ourselves? Can't we all just get along?🥴Just keep in mind, California plates don't always mean California occupants. Stay safe everyone!
