The ISU Arch was the entry to the first building on the ISU campus, known as the Academy of Idaho in 1902. The original building was expanded by a wing on the west end in 1905 and another on the east end in 1910.

During early decades of the 20th century, the campus front was on Carter Street and the entrance of the Academy faced 7th Avenue, where it meets Carter on the north side of the current lower campus.

Architect Jerry Myers has been a part of Myers-Anderson Architects for almost 35 years. In that time, he has had the opportunity to be involved in a variety of community projects. Myers Anderson has a focus on using old buildings and restoring them-- blending the old with the new.

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), about one in five veterans returning from Iraq or Afghanistan have post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) or depression. Additionally, around 20 veterans lose their life to suicide each day.

Veterans are more likely to be affected by mental disorders because of their proximity to tragedy. For many, it can be difficult for them to reach out for the help that they need.

The columns on Red Hill were the main features of the McHan Funeral Home (later McHan-Henderson) on South Arthur in old town for fifty years. The business, established in 1916, was demolished in 1966 when it relocated to N. 15th Avenue as Henderson (now Cornelison) Funeral Home.

Good news: frisbee is cool again.

While most might have played frisbee once or twice, the advanced version of frisbee-- disc golf-- offers extra challenges for players.

Disc golf applies the same elements of traditional golf, where players try to land into holes in the least amount of turns. However in disc golf, the holes are baskets covered in chain, and instead of having drivers and balls, players toss different types of discs designed to do different things. Some are designed to travel far distances, while others are made for accuracy or wind resistance.

The Vocational Arts Building (VA), one of the oldest buildings at ISU, was originally named the Vocational Building and Hangar. It was constructed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) between 1936 and 1939 in a style now known as WPA Rustic (a combination of neo-classical and art deco architecture, strongly influenced by the American craftsman style).

You may be familiar with some of the most common ways to brew coffee: drip, French press, pour over, espresso. But what about cold brew?

If you haven’t had the chance to try cold brew before, A Different Cup serves up fresh coffee with a side of smiles every day. They have two locations: one located within Station Square in Old Town Pocatello, and a recently-opened second location close to ISU on 4th and Terry.

When thinking about what future technology can do, you might think about travelling anywhere in the matter of seconds, or making things appear with the simple click of a button, or doing whatever you want in worlds completely different than ours.

What you might not know is that these things are already possible.

Most people would shake their heads in disgust and grumble at dirty toilet seats in public restrooms, and then abandon the stall altogether for one of a finer quality.

Pocatello County Clerk Robert Poleki took that type of experience while he was at the airport with his son and created something that could flush away those nasty situations.
