I didn't even know there was one by Safeco. I generally try to avoid downtown unless I'm forced to flee thru downtown off the viaduct because of traffic. Or if Wayne comes into town 8) [smilie=battingeyes.gif]

Mmmm, KK donuts. Like eating a cloud....a warm, sugary, fluffy cloud.
And the original glazed is "only" 200 calories, I would have guessed a lot more. :P

too bad I can't stop at one

Most of the ones in the Chicago area that I know of have closed, though last I checked, the one near O'Hare was still open.
I think the one in Gurnee is still around too, isn't it? Probably best for my arteries that they have been closing down around here.

We did, however, see two stores close last week. They were among the hardest hit, but it was due to location. They are in the Vegas area, and Vegas is taking a beating right now. Plans have already been announced to re-open in the area, once things get better.
and your place helps make my point.. they are in a great location
Downtown and within walking distance to some if not most of Boise's night life..


BTW I am hearing rave reviews from the Bonefish Grill


sounds like I need to get a date and go out to dinner.

My favorite KK is the one in El Paso, Texas, where they have the fryer on display so you can see the doughnuts being made and cooked. (It's probably not the only one like that, but it's the only one I've seen like that.) Living overseas, though, you do learn to settle for the bagged variety. They're big in London, surprisingly. I have yet to see them anywhere near Singapore. Too bad.
