Show Notes
In this February 9th episode of Happening in Pocatello, Mark and Joleen break down the surreal news of the city's fifth-place ranking in the Milken Institute's Best-Performing Cities index, a feat that feels as unpredictable as the local wind gusts. We balance the celebration of local hero Breezy Johnson's stunning Olympic gold in Cortina with the sobering reality of major faculty cuts and the controversial "CHESS" merger at Idaho State University. Between debating the merits of a potential Chick-fil-A versus the grease-filled glory of Buddy Boy Drive-In and tracking a local furniture heist that defies logic, we take an honest look at rising real estate prices and the latest AI-driven shifts on the District 25 School Board. Whether you're navigating the Center Street underpass detour or prepping for a Valentine's foam party at the fairgrounds, join us for a frank, locally-focused look at the economic vitality and everyday absurdities of life in the Gate City.
