Flat Andy visits Boise

Flat Andy is on his way to Boise, Idaho today to attend the Grand Opening of Betterliving of Idaho. From the photos they sent, it looks like a glorious showroom. I have never been to Boise and really wanted to go on this trip. But Flat Andy went alone. More potatoes for him, I guess. The invitations were as classy as the showroom. According to Barb Gustafson, one of the owners of the dealership, everybody who is anybody in Boise will be there! Located along the river where the desert meets the Rocky Mountains, Boise is one of America's most livable and likable cities. With a population of 211,000, Boise offers the culture and entertainment of a large urban area in a place that feels a little like everyone's hometown. Quality of life is high and residents and visitors alike enjoy the unique blend of natural beauty and urban comforts. Boise is located on a high desert plain and has a surprisingly mild climate. The city sees very little rain or snow - an average of 12 inches each per year - and the moderate temperatures and low humidity make it the perfect place to play year-round. In fact, several Fortune 500 companies call Boise home. We expect to see Betterliving on this list soon!
