One of the best places in the state

Pocatello, I must admit is slow to take on the look of a big city or for that matter any progressive city. I have lived in Pocatello 16 years and been quite unimpressed with the community. Until recently there has been very little commercial growth in the city, but now the city seems to be getting into gear and encouraging more growth. The Mystique Dinner Theatre is bring some real talent and culture into the area as well as the Stephens Performing Arts Center. Commerce is apparently growing because some of the large restaurants and box stores are considering moving into the area.
Pocatello is a great place to raise children and getting better. There are good activities in the community where kids can get involved with sports and dance, and other good wholesome activities. I have let the city grow on me and now feel it's a great place to live, with Salt Lake City and Jackson hole, Yellowstone, Sun Valley about 2 1/2 hours away. There is everything you need to enjoy life here if you choose to seek for it.
