The Grove by atufft
Further down 8th street turns into what is essentially a redevelopment project created by the city. Considerable demolition must have occured within this part of old Boise, but fortunately the new work is quite pleasant are acceptable architecturally. There's a paving stone street lined by trees that's closed to vehicle traffic. The Grove itself is a paving stone plaza area centered by a fountain and circled by trees. Several old public fountains were saved and placed here, and there is a modern bronze statue dedicated to the youth of old Boise that perhaps once played in this area. There are several good restaurants and many fine shops in this area.
