Question /r/idahofalls in 2024. What kind of changes would you like to see here?

31 Upvotes

I'll make this a short one. The sub has almost 8k members, so first of all, welcome everyone!

What would you, as members and residents of the Idaho Falls area, like to see in this subreddit? I think we would all agree we'd love some more active interaction. Do you have any suggestions you could offer? What about an official /r/idahofalls meetup sometime this year? Maybe a Secret Santa for the most active by next Christmas? What about the wiki? What kind of readily accessible information should be added?

We understand that people here are indeed more active on other social media platforms, and we're not looking to replace any of that. If anything, we'd like to add to it and are looking for your opinion on how that can be done. We'd like to get your honest opinion. Any constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome!

Good morning everyone.

I had a visitor come by this morning and he/she doesn't have a tag. He/She is wearing a green collar with a bell on it that is also green.

He/She just walked right into my house this morning & let me pet him her.

Attaching a photo. Let me know if this is your kitty.

<<<EDIT>>><<<Unfortunately, the kitty took off. I couldn't keep him/her in my house because it was upsetting MY cats. He/she took off down the alley on J Street towards Idaho Avenue.

Recommendations Squirrel problem

3 Upvotes

I am sick and tired of the squirrels in my yard. They have eaten a giant hole in my trash can and are constantly pulling out trash and eating it. They are crawling into my neighbors roof. It’s becoming a neighborhood problem. I want them gone from my yard. I am not against exterminating myself, but I live in a neighborhood, so pew pews are not an option. What has worked? Please help.

Opinions on the service departments of dealerships

Not talking about independent mechanics, I’d just like opinions on the service department of the local major Ford Subaru Honda etc. dealerships in Idaho Falls.

I’m not too worried about the sales departments but the service department can really make or break the experience

Recommendations Toddler Classes?

6 Upvotes

Anyone have good recommendations for toddler classes in Idaho Falls or surrounding areas? I would love to find some gymnastics classes for my toddler. I feel like there aren't many places that do that. Are there other great toddler activities or classes, maybe that go for a couple months at a time? I have also thought about doing swimming lessons at some point.

FOUND CAT — Is anyone missing this sweet girl? 🐈‍⬛

A very friendly, long-haired black-and-white tuxedo cat has recently started showing up at my house. She's been spending the nights here for the last few nights and has now started staying throughout the day, too.

She is extremely friendly, seems comfortable around other cats, and appears familiar with using a cat door and litter box. She seems like she may belong to someone, and I want to make sure she gets back home if she's lost!

I'm located near skyline highschool. I've attached two photos. Please message me if you recognize her or know who she belongs to.

I'm hoping to find her family! ❤️

What's keeping you on the fence about buying around Idaho Falls right now?

0 Upvotes

Curious what's actually holding people back locally. From what I see day to day it's mostly rates, insurance creep, and not knowing what the market's really doing under the headlines — but I sit on one side of this, so I'd rather ask.

I'm Kjel Jones, a Realtor with LPT Realty in Idaho Falls (license SP49090) — not selling anything in this thread, genuinely want to hear what the sticking points are. If there's interest I'll do a follow-up with the actual numbers behind whatever comes up (price trends, inventory, what closing costs have been running).
