Sandpoint named Coolest Small City in Idaho

Who’s the coolest in Idaho?

That’d be the county seat — aka Sandpoint. The city was recently recognized as the “coolest small city” in Idaho by Fifty Grande magazine, a leading magazine for U.S. travel.

“Apologies to all the longtime Sandpointers who’ve seen their onetime hidden gem exposed to throngs of transplants over the past few years — that’s what you get when your little town on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille provides so much in such a small area,” said the article, which was published last month.

Fifty Grande listed Schweitzer as one of Sandpoint’s biggest draws for decades, but claims the city has forged an identity of its own apart from the ski resort through its golf courses, craft breweries and nearby Silverwood and Boulder Beach.

Additionally, there’s the popular City Beach, with volleyball nets and tennis courts, where locals and tourists alike can get a nice tan with unrestricted views of the mountains, the article continued. A short drive down Highway 200, Clark Fork River has great whitewater rafting, which is far less logjammed than the Snake or Salmon rivers.

"Sandpoint is the epitome of cool,” said Fifty Grande editor-in-chief Chris Walsh. “Its lakeside location boasts both breathtaking natural beauty and recreational opportunities. While it may be small, Sandpoint punches above its weight and there's tons to do. It's a low-key and great place with appeal for many types of travelers."

You must be thinking of someplace else. The only place to shop in Sandpoint is the "Jim 'Buck' Murphy General Store." Nothing else within a hundred miles. Mr. Buck is working on a loan to spruce the place up, but interest rates are so high now.

Well...now Buck’s place is a joint I’d feel comfy in.

The Super1...not so much

But the checkstand girls were nice

I had forgotten that also. But many summers she spent with relatives in Kennewick a few blocks from me (she is a few years younger). And a former coworker of mine who lived in that neighborhood knew her quite well.

You mean Sandpoint has a big homophone community too?

I was just jesting, not making fun of you. It didn’t come out right. Sorry about that. Poor wording on my part. I was saying it was cool Palin was in your neighborhood.
