The Boise Bench

Sitting high in our ivory tower of cracked streets and run-down shopping centers. Looking down on the rest of Boise since 1925. The air is sweeter on The Bench!

@CityOfBoise Don't worry. We're used to drinking discolored water up here.

Vista Ave is many people's first impression of Boise after landing at the airport. They must really think Boise likes pizza and vape shops.

Now that the election is over, we can all go back to pretending that the Bench isn't in serious need of bike lanes and pedestrian sidewalks.

Another Friday and another night of annoying drunks ending a Bench Bar Crawl at the Torch 2 for the millionth time.

@BlvdBoise can keep its pretentious trick or treating event on Halloween. Have you ever walked the Bench's streets at night? Way scarier and like a real-life horror movie.

Why run along the Greenbelt when you can run on the streets of the Bench? Plenty of stray dogs and rabid raccoons to keep it interesting.

BREAKING: Boise Bench resident super disappointed they didn't win the Mega Millions last night. Will have to continue to live adjacent to Curtis & Franklin.

@BoiseGoats @KTVB When're you guys coming back? There are plenty of useless fields full of weeds and trash to eat up here.

BREAKING: Overly sensitive Bench resident concerned that new @BirdRide scooters are making the city too progressive and ushering in a new era of easy transportation for Boise pedestrians.

BREAKING: Researchers conclude that there is a disproportionate number of stray cats living on the Boise Bench. They attribute this spike to the unbridled optimism in the face of overwhelming adversity that permeates the region. Or the trash.

A flood of new home buyers who can't afford the North End are moving to the Bench. To make matters worse, these people have the audacity to actually fix up their homes, raising property values even further 🙄

[The Boise Bench @BoiseBench]

Boise Bench residents continue to complain about ongoing road construction on major arteries like Orchard. Residents see the fixed streets as a total "North End thing" and not in line with the Bench's character.
