Boise Union Pacific Station

Back on June 30th, I spent the night in Boise on my way back to Salt Lake City after spending a week in Portland.

Boise has a beautiful train station that sits on a hill overlooking the downtown area.

One of things I never noticed before was that this building resembles the Catholic Church that sits across the street from where I went to High School.

Here is another one of those former chain restaurants turned independent. This was once a Arctic Circle which has its headquarters in Midvale, Utah.

I was traveling from Salt Lake City to Portland when I took this picture but the place was not open on Sunday's so I had to go somewhere else.

Spinners Restaurant in Rupert Idaho

Always love driving through small towns along old US Highways. Rupert, Idaho is located about 5 miles north of Interstate 84 along what was US Highway 30.

Rupert is an interesting town were it appears most of the chain restaurants have closed but have been taken over by independent operations.

Here a former Dairy Queen is now a sit down restaurant but you can still see the former ordering board which now just has a company sign on it and the unused drive thru window. Surprised they have not removed the menu board and microphoen/speaker yet.
