Share your North Idaho memories with us

The Polka Dot Cafe Tavern. The Fish Inn. The Wilma Theatre. The Ninth Street bike jumps. The 12th World Scout Jamboree at Farragut State Park. The Cove Bowl. Topper Too. Playland Pier. Places and events of the past made North Idaho what it is today. As things are so quickly changing, we want to capture those memories before they are forgotten. In an upcoming series that will be called "Remembering North Idaho," we hope to revisit places that no longer exist and transport our readers back to an era before North Idaho became the bustling, growing place it is today.
