When I was growing up right here in the Treasure Valley, things were pretty different--and it wasn't even that long ago! I was a Nampa kid that went to Bishop Kelly High School in Boise. That meant I had a commute. each morning--be it by the Nampa Bishop Kelly commuter bus or if sports were in session, I was driving. I had that commute down to an art. If you got on the I-84 at 6:59 a.m. it was smooth sailing. If you were getting on the I-84 at about 7:03 a.m. or later... you were going to be late--true story! Back when, as the locals will tell you, "there was hardly anything built next to the freeway!"
