Good morning, neighbors! John Braese here with today's Boise Daily.
The Friday edition of the Boise Daily has the news to prepare you for the weekend. Employees at St. Al's have a new policy in place and a job loss could take place if not followed.

A local bar is gaining some attention, and if you have a line of credit from a local banking institution, watch you mail.
