Michigan is full of them, too, but they don’t advertise. They could be your neighbors or they could live 200 miles away. Often hide in plain sight but spend the weekends in the woods.
Much like Chicago, the stories are often worse than the reality! Never seen anyone mugged or purse snatched, let alone shot in a shootout, but…to hear what out of towners think Chicago is like is hilarious!
I’ve spent good times in Boise, although I remember one of our Flight Attendants was murdered on a running trail down along the river some years ago.
I like Boise. Heck, I like Idaho! The high desert is very nice!
