brown is evil.

do you think it would be considered graffiti if we painted the hampton light yellow in the middle of the night?

yellow would be nice.

That brick must have been a direct hit to the head. :nuts: Sorry about that!

Boisebro · #83 Posted: **Dec 6, 2005, 7:48 PM**

what, you don't like yellow? light yellow? a cheery yellow that would stand out against the backdrop of the ugly grove hotel?

Boisebro · #84 Posted: **Dec 6, 2005, 10:57 PM**

interesting, albiet outdated, images of downtown boise from the downtownboise site... not sure if you've seen these before.

if someone has the ability to indicate via colored boxes where all the "proposed" and "under construction" buildings will be located on the first image, have at it!

This pic proves that Boise is king in the little window world. I am starting to like this angle a little better now (with the hampton in place)

Look this is Nashville, but one pic is Cool Springs, a huge office/shopping area.

All we need is a taller building behind the US Bank and that view would be awesome.

IFtowner · #95 Posted: **Dec 8, 2005, 2:11 AM**

Is that a big antenna on the top of the US Bank by the way? Or am I just seeing things?

Boisebro · #96 Posted: **Dec 8, 2005, 2:21 AM**

no, that's just the christmas tree lights they put up their every christmas.

Looks as if some of these units could get a little cramped.

This is right in one of my old neighborhoods. The best location I have lived in so far in Boise. I walked or rode my bike everywhere, school, work, shopping etc. (Had to, the car was broke down...but I still loved it) Spent loads of time biking along the Green Belt.

Right on!

(Bring as many high-rise loving people with you as you can.)

Except it's cold and snow here too. Maybe not so much right in Boise but where I live it was 5 degrees this morning with 4 inches of snow and up to 2' drifts still on the ground.

I love the snow and hoping for more.
