I got up early to meet a friend for breakfast and had more time for downtown Boise pictures.
This Allies of people with HIV and AIDS place didn’t exist when I was in high school. At least not in this form.
They had a jar with condoms available. Given that it was Sunday morning, I’m not surprised it was empty.
Oh, bad funny t-shirts. Where would I be if I couldn’t look down on you?
But right next door, a fancy clothes place. Good old Boise!
The Hoff is such a pretty building. We ate my graduation celebration dinner at the Top of the Hoff restaurant.
It’s Lewis & Clark and friends!
Apologies for the lack of proper orientation, but I love that a benchmark has been preserved in recognition of Abraham Lincoln. Also that the sign is bigger than the benchmark.
A look up Capitol Boulevard to the Train Depot, where I spent many happy hours in the gardens on the grounds.
Lincoln, standing not-so-tall.
I mean, really, he’s tiny.
Unlike Steunenberg. I guess you have to be assassinated IN Idaho to get the really big statue.
Darn that organized labor!
I’ve always loved the Idaho Capitol building. And I loved living in a state capitol.
These are fun! Around the capitol building grounds, each county’s seal is displayed. I didn’t have time to find Ada county, but here’s Benewah. This also made me wonder if every county in every state has a seal. It seems a bit much, no?
I love the statues and the capitol building! The Hoff is a great building as well. What is it?
It is apparently a mixed use building with offices and shops.

Apparently the Top of the Hoff restaurant is no more…
I love how calm and quiet it seems,. What a lovely time of day for a walk. I have always LOVED those county signs. I don't think I got a picture of them this trip, though…
Oh yeah, my cousin Amber's wedding was at the Top of the Hoff. I thought this link: http://shawnandsara.blogspot.com/2008/08/amber-and-andys-wedding.html might show more of the Hoff. But really it doesn't…
I like that I had to give you the link anyway!
