Show Notes
Join Mark and Joleen for a raw yet reliable look at life in the Gate City on this episode of 'Happening in Pocatello.' As we navigate a March "fool's spring" filled with mud and unexpected road construction on Grizzly Avenue, we dive into the headlines that actually matter: from sobering federal labor exploitation charges to the record-breaking 92% graduation rates at School District 25. We explore the irony of Idaho's $1.3 billion rainy day fund while local students fundraise for the arts via bake sales, celebrate the legendary barefoot sprint of Jackson Laird at the Simplot Games, and review the heart-clogging comfort of Jumbos XPress Cafe. Whether you're looking for details on the Historic Downtown Artwalk, the upcoming Tech Expo, or the brutal reality of the local housing market where "affordability" feels like a punchline, we provide a balanced, slightly cynical, and thoroughly local perspective on everything making waves in Southeast Idaho.
