Did the previous reviewer say world class art and culture? Where would this be because after 2 years there, I was craving art and culture. Like, my experience is the polar opposite so unless art includes street statues that happen a month of each year and if by culture meaning you run into a single black guy on the street, I don't get it. It's really white, very few Hispanics, almost no blacks and few Asians. No museums (outside of historical ones). Most of the Mormons live in Provo if that

Boise is an up and coming city with loads of people moving in. It has accessibility to lots of great outdoor adventures including hiking, biking, rafting/kayaking, hotsprings, and more. There are four seasons, but none too harsh. There's a cool downtown bar scene. Also, the highest concentration of basque immigrants in the world is in Boise, so there are some interesting cultural elements as well as great basque bars and restaurants. Because it is a smaller city, there are some limitations (not
