o boise


Posted by Picasa

too short a visit to identify the Idahoness of Idaho. esp since I was only in Boise. but I did fall in love.

the former Union Pacific depot is a gem. designd by Carrere & Hastings   it opend in 1925. Amtrak no longer stops there so I hope the city continues to care for it. the depot's location yields the best view of downtown. unfortunately the city allowd skyscrapers to be built which compromise the scale of the Capitol. but I don't want to carp. the depot itself is a wonder. & the gardens in front make the space as oasis.
