We spent the day in Pocatello yesterday to look at housing options and see the city and it really is not so bad. Actually I am pretty excited to live there. There is definitely more shopping options than Rexburg. No Target or Old Navy though. :( We ate at Craigo's; we are so happy they are there. That is our favorite pizza place in Rexburg. I have yet to scope out the parks, but I saw a few.
