Loved the video at 6:42 showing Lewiston's oceanfront tropical beach with palm trees in the foreground... thanks for the laugh.

@danamccandless5037 7 months ago

Lewiston is not a seaport but a river accessing the Columbia River which then dumps into the Pacific Ocean!

This video is going to need updating soon things are changing fast in the magic valley lots of construction and expensive freeway upgrades going on! Something big is going to happen here!

Sorry folks this video is completely misleading. Property values are ridiculously high and the cost of living is beyond belief. The locals are only friendly if they can get something from you.

One of the photos of Twin Falls shows a dramatic mountain backdrop. There are no mountains near Twin Falls. It is farmland, desert sagebrush, and dramatic Snake River canyons. Beautiful in its own way, but no mountains.
