Pocatello, ID
Family Town -
10/2/2008Pocatello is a great place to raise a family. Low cost of living, good schools (with an excellent charter school and two excellent private schools), and safe neighborhoods abound. Idaho State University provides cultural opportunities, and public lands with easy access to hiking, mountain biking, and skiing literally bump up against city boundaries. People genuinely care about their town and work to improve their small corner of the world. More tolerant than much of the West, with active Latino, Greek, Native American, and Black communities. Small arts scene with many small theatres and art shops, and lots of small musical offerings at various establishments each weekend.
