Hi everyone.  New to the forum here.  I'm just your average conservative, pro-2A, friendly, hard working American. 

Anywho, I might finally get to escape the PRK here in the near future and would be relocating to your beautiful state if I get the job.  Trust me, I'm not one of those Cali transplants who wants to move to Idaho and turn it into CA.  I'm trying to leave CA because I cannot stand what this state has turned into.  I registered here because who better to get local info from than the locals?  If I relocate it will be to the Boise area.  Not looking to buy a house at this time.  Been apartment shopping on the web for the past few days.  I'll be in the area Sun-Wed this upcoming week for an interview and to scout out the area.

So....with that, a few questions.  I'm looking at the Boise and Meridian area.  Are there any particular areas of either of those towns I should avoid?  I'm already well aware of the pro's of Idaho (very scenic, nice people, low crime rate, affordable housing, great gun laws, etc.).  I'm just curious of some of the things you guys don't like about Idaho.  Anything else about the Boise area I should know and consider before potentially moving here?

Also, any cigar lounges in the Boise area?  TIA for any info you guys might have.  Take care.

Probably the one thing that damn-near all Idahoans hate about Idaho is the influx of Californians.
(There's a tongue-in-cheek joke in there somewhere)
     Keep in mind, relatively speaking, the greater Boise area (Boise, Eagle, Meridian, etc) is more liberal than the rest of the state. All you have to do is drive about 20-30 miles in any direction, and it becomes much more liberal (again--relatively speaking).
     Many people that live outside of the Ada county/Boise area,  perceive the same relationship Chicago has with Illinois, Portland and Oregon, etc. Many see the city (Boise in this case) setting the way the rest of the state will soon follow.  You don't EVEN want to mention you are from the Boise area if you are up above Grangeville!  The north half of the state doesn't have a lot of good to say about us down here.

It's all relative.
