Good morning, Boise.

Data from the Idaho Transportation Department shows that from 2008 to May the state’s 15 most dangerous roads have recorded 3,851 deaths statewide—roads like I-84 and US-95 have seen many fatal crashes, with alcohol impairment a key factor.

Local drivers in Boise are urged to remain cautious, especially during the summer’s busy driving season.

Rite Aid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 5—its second filing since late 2023—and plans to close 151 stores including two in Idaho in Caldwell and McCall.

The company said remaining Idaho locations will transfer to new operators like CVS, Walgreens or Boise-based Albertsons during its reorganization.

Memorial Day in Idaho is under discussion as residents debate whether fireworks disrespect fallen service members—some say they honor life while others feel the displays ignore the day’s solemn purpose.

This Memorial Day weekend, AAA projects a record rise in air travel with an estimated 3.61 million flyers and a 12% increase above pre-pandemic levels—indicating high travel demand among Idahoans.

The report also names the top ten travel destinations, with the number one spot emerging as an unexpected favorite.

Ashton Jeanty, named America's Top 2025 Playmaker and a standout running back, was drafted by the Raiders a couple months ago, ending his Boise State career.

His departure leaves room for rising defensive star Jayden Virgin-Morgan to step up and cover the gap left by Ahmed Hassanein—expected to be a key player this season.
