It’s becoming a usual now, that at 04:00 Hours that’s 4:00AM for you none military folk out there, that just like clockwork or programmed this way, but at 04:00 Hours, SpeedConnect goes blank for about 5 minutes then fires back up after a refire on the old computer. Who knows the malady, I ain’t a computer geek, never was. Sound techno guru maybe but never a geek, I was always out drinking, and cruising. Which noticeable here in Twin Falls on a Friday or Saturday night no more weekend cruising like there was when I was here before I took off for USMC basic, in 77.
Back then , both Blue Lake BLVD and Addison to the old Hospital, was covered in rolling lead and steel, guys getting gals, scarfing down a float at A&W when A&W was where Mr. Burger is now at Kimberly Road and Blue Lakes.
Of course just as Albertsons and what was RiteAid Drug Store now some strip Mall, we’d cruise in there down a couple of pints of Jack, get laid, down another pint of Jack, grab fuel at Mr. Gas, kill the Packman machine and cruise on back down to Hazzard 35 miles away pretty happy.
Face it both Burley and Twin Falls and it seems Twin Falls was growing but seems like Twin falls’ growth came to a standing stop. Don’t know if it was that the word got put out, about the no new business’ due to no more capacity on the city’s sewer and water supply, or what but the fire under Twin Falls’ saddle got dislodged and now that work horse done stopped.
Did a research scan, did you know that Idaho Falls has 10,000 more people now than Twin Falls does? The only major employer is out on the Arco desert the INEEL, or whatever its name is now, but the nuke site is. The rest of Idaho Falls is just like Twin Falls, is, farm driven. So why is Idaho Falls growing and we’re not? Sounds like the growth hammer is swinging right or east rather than left. Don’t worry in 20 years , the hammer will swing west or left again, but that growth will be stymied if attitudes in Twin Falls don’t change.
Now in yesterday’ entry I alluded to the fact that Twin Falls now wears the nick name Tweaker Flatts.
Example of why,
If one goes to the River Fellowship, church Filer and Shoshone Falls Road Twin Falls, if you go when Testimony meeting recitals are given, 8 out of 10 of those testimonies of someone coming to Christ, is due to some sort of addiction, to some drug. Of those 8 at least 6 will be because of Meth. Really. It’s that bad. Whatever happened to simple stuff like a bag of weed and a bottle of Jack, that never really hurt no one.
Any mile, I have yet to hear anyone yap about being a sex addict. Do you know if you are a sex addict there are no programs for that in Twin Falls, including the River? None. There is not even a sex therapist to help treat these addictions, no head shrink specializing in sex disorders. My only sex disorder is not getting any. We see all these none married women carrying kids, and yet I ask, why can’t I have one? Heck.
The Meth and synthetic drug trade in Twin Falls is epidemic, no matter where you go someone is addicted to, has been addicted to, Meth, or nose candy.
That’s why Twin Falls went from queer capitol of Idaho to Meth Capitol of Idaho.
Now if you think that I’m upset about this your right. I want our area to go back to the time when this area was willing to allow anybody with an idea to take a shot at it and make it grow. I want greedy landlords who own industrial property to cut their damn rent rates down to $250.00 a month or less allowing small business’s to get started.
Oh I must mention this, at 05:21 here SpeedConnects service quit again.
Hope SpeedConnect will do something soon, or I’ll have to begin looking into a new provider both for our operation here in Twin as well as Buhl.
Burley has industrial property for $175 to 150.00 a month and that includes power.
Any mile before SpeedConnect goes out again, I’ll get this posted, but this is why Twin Falls wears the crown of Tweaker Flatts.
Later Ya’ll
