Caldwell, Idaho - Photo Dump:
I recently created a Photo Gallery on my website because I always ended up with lots of extra pictures from whenever I would go out. I share these with you so you can get a real life, warts and all, look at the Treasure Valley.
My Caldwell visit mainly captures the downtown vibe. Notice just how clean and pleasant it is! Picking flowers is always a ton of fun… and a reminder displayed on the kitchen table for a couple of weeks after! Recently I enjoyed all the vendors and events at the Indian Creek Plaza celebrating Mothers Day!
Informative Videos about Caldwell, Idaho:
Early this Spring, I wanted to see how sleepy downtown Caldwell has survived the Winter. Looks like they’re doin’ just fine and ready for all the fun stuff!
I did a follow-up video addressing just how Caldwell is the armpit of Idaho. Is the internet chatter all blown out of proportion? Now you can find out for real!
A really fun thing about Caldwell is that it’s an old town with a rich history. Some of the neighborhoods are 80 to 100 years old. Many of these “mid-century” homes, as they are called, are very close to their original condition. It’s always fun to tour these when they come on the market. Could you love living in this one?
Treasure Valley Dave's Thoughts
Little country-flavored Caldwell, Idaho is a snapshot in time. The old-fashioned homes and tree-lined streets showcase a century of work and play and a community of good folks. Yes, Caldwell isn’t the small agricultural and railstop it used to be. Ag still plays a starring role but tech and education and industry of all types call Caldwell home now. And, after a hard day’s work, Caldwell offers great places to eat and relax and just have fun with friends and family.
