This would be very appropriate for this thread--someone uploaded KBOI footage of the Eastman Building burning down and being demolished. I did not know that the arch entryway was supposedly saved--I don't know where that is now, but I really hope that it still exists and that it gets put to good use some day!

Thank you so much for the find City of Trees! I may just have to add it to the page of the thread.

Gardner plans a groundbreaking ceremony March 19 and will begin construction that day on the property, which it bought for $2.9 million from Capps Holding LLC, he said.
Any word on if the groundbreaking occurred today? |

They were quick to get the names of the new tenants added to the signage. Also notice the scaffolding up on neighboring building.
Also, for those that have an IBR subscription there is an interesting article on their site regarding a second restaurant at 8th and Main. Evidently owned by the same family that owns Cheerleaders, but targeted a bit more upscale. I won't link here because it is copyrighted and requires a subscription, but the story doesn't go into a lot of detail other than what I mentioned above. http://weech.smugmug.com/Other/Camer...22004355-M.jpg |

I hadn't thought about Tapas Estrella in a long time. One of the few Boise restaurants that made you feel like you were in a much bigger city. I did a lot of business entertaining there. Over the years we have lost a number of very nice establishments. Remember Amore'? |
:previous: That was a good place, there are a few that have closed in past years I really miss, but new restaurants always seem to replace the ones that dwindled. The people who owned Tapas Estrella run Salt Tears and Noshery out at Collister and they serve tapas.... I am hoping they bring the concept downtown in the near future. I miss Andrae's (used to be on Bannock in the basement by The Hoff) too but Cafe Vicino is just as good or better than A's was.
|
We do have a number of good replacements and successors, but over the last few years seem to be missing signature type establishments that you aren't ashamed to send out of town friends to. I suppose that is a function of the economy, but I do hope it eventually recovers.
|
no wonder I didn't see the scaffolding at night! It's covered by a black tarp like thing. I wonderwhy they only put it up in only in that one area.

Demolition of the Boise Tower foundation will be underway soon! This appears to be the latest rendering... 18 floors? And the article quotes 15 floors?
http://www.idahopress.com/news/treas...=image&photo=1 http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townn...79c4.image.jpg Oi vey, the number of floors has turned into such a mystery for me... I don't know who to believe anymore, LOL. |
That "Holland & Hart" sign is new, right? If so, maybe we're getting closer to the final rendering.
|
Wouldn't it be great if Ruth's Chris was located at one of the top floors? I'd go just for the view!

I hope this doesn't come across as a dumb question, but why do they need to take out the foundation? If the foundation was set up to support a highrise, then how come it won't work for the Zions Bank Tower? Is it damaged? :shrug: |

or syringes, empty paint cans, etc..... I know for a fact a few hotdog venders have dumped unused cooked hotdogs over the wall. I see it everyweek, and I know there is a stray cat that lives in within the walls.
