Reel For Sale + Highway Celebration + Knifing Assistance

Hey, people of Boise! It's me again, John Braese, your host of the Boise Daily.

Welcome to the mid-week edition of the Boise Daily. Boise residents may soon have one less establishment to watch a movie, while a local county department celebrated 50 years. A local doctor is one step closer to a board position, and a new superintendent speaks of the upcoming school year. Finally, the Boise Police need your help if you were downtown in the early morning Sunday.

First, today's weather: Clear throughout the day. High: 78, low: 53.

Here are the top stories in Boise today:

1. A "temporarily" closed theater in Boise has been found with a "For Sale" attached. Don Day, editor for BoiseDev reports the State Street Reel Theatre is listed for sale for the price of $3.75 million. (boisedev.com)
2. The Central District Health board finally has approval for a new member from Ada County, but not the entire commission voted for the candidate. Idaho Capital Sun's Audrey Dutton was present for the meeting as Dr. Ryan Cole was approved by a vote of 2-1. Cole is not yet on the board as Boise, Elmore and Valley counties still need to approve the appointment. (idahocapitalsun)
3. The Ada County Highway District recently celebrated 50 years of building and maintaining local roads with a party complete with a cake and a time capsule. (Boise Patch)
4. KIVI-TV's Michelle Edmonds sat down with West Ada School District's new superintendent, Dr. Derek Bub. Taking over the largest district in the state, Bub provides his views on critical race theory, COVID-19 restrictions and growth in the district. (6 On Your Side)
5. The Boise Police had a busy weekend. A neighborhood disagreement over the volume of music led to an arrest after a rifle was fired from a porch. In addition, downtown Boise was the scene of a stabbing during a fight. Investigators are asking the public for assistance in the stabbing incident as no arrests have been made. (Boise Patch)
