A vigil is planned for Asian-Americans: a drive-in open date

BOISE, ID — We saw quite a storm blow through Boise on Monday and other areas received snow and hail. Tuesday looked much better with the sun out, but still quite breezy.

In Tuesday's Boise Briefings, a vigil is planned Tuesday evening to honor Asian-Americans. Gas is still on the rise, but a local drive-in movie theater has announced an opening date. If the weather continues to be cold and windy, take a walking tour of the capital city.
