  1. As space in downtown Boise continues to disappear, some have the idea to go upward instead of sideways. BoiseDev editor Don Day explores the projects in the works for constructing new buildings, some as tall as a proposed 28-story apartment building. Day also looks at the parking issues associated with tall structures. (boisedev.com)
  2. CBS2 news staff report a GoFundMe page has been created for the partner of the security guard, Jo Acker, who was shot and killed in the Boise Towne Square Mall shooting. Money collected will go towards a service dog and training. (Idaho News)
  3. With Thanksgiving just days away, LITE-FM's Jess poses the question if your family has a dress code for the big dinner? Is a shirt and tie or dress required? Sweatpants a no go? Is everyone required to sit around the dining room table or does your family grab a plate and hit the sofa? (liteonline)
  4. The race to become Idaho's lieutenant governor has one less person in the race. KTVB's Katie Terhune reports Luke Malek has withdrawn from the race and has urged supporters to back current Speaker of the House Rep. Scott Bedke for lieutenant governor. (KTVB)
  5. The East Idaho News and Eric Grossarth continue to update the Chad and Lori Daybell case. Police in Arizona have now asked prosecutors to review charges against Chad and Lori Daybell for conspiracy of attempted murder in connection with an incident involving Lori’s former nephew-in-law. The move comes after two years of investigation. (eastidahonews)
