sandpoint real estate: Secret Thai Cafe: Sandpoint Blog
- 08/14/10 06:38 AM
So, on my show, North Idaho Business, broadcast on the Talk North Idaho radio network, I interviewed the Secret Thai Cafe last Tuesday. I had first encountered this couple of a Thai wife and American husband at last year's Festival at Sandpoint. They had been in the vendor booth next to Dish Home Cooking. I helped at the Festival as well as lending a hand at the Dish booth. We traded food with the Thai guys, and it was good, but I couldn't help but notice for every ten people served at the Dish booth, they served one. A little slow … (0 comments)

sandpoint real estate: Sandpoint & North Idaho Waterfront Real Estate Blog: Sandpoint Blog
- 08/05/10 01:49 PM
My name is Gary Lirette and I specialize in waterfront in and around Sandpoint, Idaho. This includes Lake Pend Oreille and the Pend Oreille River primarily, and Lake Cocolalla. To a lesser degree, we also have extensive knowledge of the Priest River, the Moyie and Kootenai Rivers, Pack River, Rapid Lightning Creek, the Clark Fork River, and the lesser lakes around Lake Pend Oreille. Last one is on the Sunnyside Peninsula. Best location in town in the opinion of many. Almost .7 acres with 100' of frontage. Probably overpriced, but there simply isn't that much competition for lots like this. So … (0 comments)

For many years I have supported the arts, hosting and paying for over fifty art events in Bonner and Boundary counties in the last five years. I host the radio show North Idaho Arts & Adventure as part of that support. Last Tuesday I interviewed some of the artists from this year's Artists' Studio Tour. It is pretty cool because no matter the day you are in Sandpoint and our neck of the North Idaho woods, you can call and set up your own tour based on your schedule. The group also offers set days with tours pre-scheduled. Those are … (0 comments)

- 07/13/10 03:00 PM
Remember the Power House Bar and Grill? Mark and Sara Clarkston owned that joint until the successful chain Craggy Range took over. When they went belly up, we all realized that maybe that wasn't such a good location. Mark wanted to own the dirt and bought the building in Priest River two years ago July 11th. They serve comfort food like steaks and seafood, all grilled over apple wood or smoked in the smoker. Nice kitchen set-up, a dining room that seats 120, and a comfortable and easy access location.

sandpoint real estate: New guidelines from Army Corp of Engineers could affect your dock: Sandpoint Blog.
- 06/29/10 11:18 AM
In years past the range down from Albeni Dam was only a foot or so, not enough to cause any damage to your dock along the Pend Oreille River, and to a lesser degree, in Lake Pend Oreille. Those with docks on the Priest River are all to familiar with ice flows that, with higher water flow, rise up and literally take docks downstream with them. This could be one of the outcomes of the new operating range of the Albeni Dam. So, the Army Corp of Engineers has extended an Invitation to a Open House June 30, Wednesday 4-7 p.m. … (0 comments)
