As a huge fan of the tv show, Parks and Recreation, I can’t help but draw comparisons between Boise’s downtown “hole,” and the fictional town of Pawnee, in which a park employee (Amy Poehler) struggles to fill “the pit.”
In Boise, I like to think that “the hole” (which has its own twitter page) provided just as much comic relief, and I’m kinda sad to see it go.
