On the Street Where I Live

We live right across the highway from the old Boise Cascade mill site. The mill was torn down shortly after I moved here four years ago. I had nothing to do with it, I swear.

Since we bought our house a year and a half ago, we've looked across the street to kind of a junky area that was waiting to be reclaimed. Well, now it looks like there could be a solution. A nursery in Boise has bought the land, will haul off the years' accumulation of wood chips on it, and then donate it to the city. Hopefully the city will be able to come up with an adequate plan and funding in order to get the dreamed-of recreation center put in.

Wouldn't that be nice?
