Even though downtown Boise is made up of brick and mortar buildings, it’s the people and their stories who make up the the atmosphere and personality of downtown. And that’s the vision behind "Upside Downtown," a new project from the Downtown Boise Association to highlight the business owners and residents of downtown.

 

Joining Idaho Matters live today to talk more are Jennifer Hensley, Executive Director of the Downtown Boise Association, and Keely Landerman co-owner and head brewer at Woodland Empire Ale craft.
