I believe that as far as the post office goes, permitting the Boise address for Garden City mail was because until a few years ago, Garden City did not have a post office. They apparently continued the practice even after a post office opened on Marigold just off Glenwood.

Why is bingo a “Catholic cultural icon?”

EDITOR NOTE–Never could figure that one out. Guess it is just a fun way to raise cash. Sorta like Polish bowlers in Detroit, Indian casinos, Jewish night clubs in the Pocono Mts., old people comparing medical histories, cowboys chewing tobacco, and lawyers wearing wing tipped shoes.

Re the address: As long as it has the correct ZIP code, it’ll get there.
And have you ever noticed that the ads in The Daily Paper and elsewhere for businesses in Garden City list their addresses as Boise? I guess they’re all ashamed of being in Garbage City, even though the G.C. officials keep bragging about how much they’ve “improved” the area (Translation: Tried to drive out the low-income folks).
Re gambling: So, with Bingo, lottery, scratch-off games, horse racing, dog-racing betting via TV at Les Bois track, the stock market … Why not just admit Idaho has gambling, and let the casinos return to Garden City where they were before the state decided it and not the cities would be the big boss?

Garden City residents can put Boise on their inbound and outbound mail. The post office does not seem to care.

5443 Glenwood is in Garden City, I think. Not Boise.

EDITOR NOTE–You too are correct. As a former Garden City Cop, I should know better!!

That address is located in Garden City, not Boise.

EDITOR NOTE–You are entirely correct! We got the address directly from a press release…has the GUARDIAN gone mainstream?

Now we have to ask the question: While the address is indeed located in Garden City, don’t the people in that ZIP code put BOISE as their return address?
