We are blessed in Idaho to have many awesome destinations for tourists. However, if I'm being honest, I would have to admit that some of our locations might be a little overrated for one reason or another. I want to know which one you think would be most likely to disappoint.

In case you haven't heard, actor Erik Estrada has become a reserve police officer in St. Anthony, Idaho. That begs the question - or maybe it doesn't, but please play along - which TV cop would you like to see deputized in Idaho? I have some suggestions.

This seems like a silly thing to write about, but my family and I are having a major discussion about the cleanliness of cats.

People that live in bigger metro areas consider a good vacation going somewhere that is slightly remote or less populated than where they call home.

I have but one requirement from a playground. It has to have a good slide. If it also has swings, that's an extra 2 points. Maybe for you, it's all about fake rock climbing walls. No matter what your playground pleasure is, I'm curious which Twin Falls playground you think is the best.

In case you've been living under a rock, Harriet Tubman will soon be on the twenty dollar bill. No disrespect intended to her tribute, but the change in money made me wonder who in Idaho could deserve the honor to be on money someday. Here are some ideas. Please feel free to add your own and vote.

We've narrowed down the list of nominations to ten Magic Valley teachers, and now you can show support for your favorite teacher by voting.

I believe I can scientifically prove that Twin Falls is redneck. First, let me qualify this. I also consider myself partially redneck. I once competed in a mud dash through a monster truck mud pit. That should score me 500 redneck points. However, there are so many redneck elements in Twin Falls, my redneck-ism barely appears on the radar.

You can say a lot of great things about Idaho. When it comes to being ranked highly among "green" states, that isn't one of them.
