We feature a hot, up-and-coming Flagstaff film maker this morning--Travis Holt Hamilton. You're going to be hearing more and more about Travis as the years roll by. He already has some awesome work under his belt and he's set his sights on a lofty goal--The First Native American sit com...."Frybread."

We've put up a lot of information here about Travis and his awesome work. We are excited to see his creativity progress to ever higher and newer places.

| We're sure sorry to see The Savings Center disappear into the dust bin of Idaho Falls History. What a truly special store the place was. It was one of the reasons we moved to Idaho Falls, actually. It closed for good about a eyar after we moved to River City but it will never be forgotten. Below is this morning's Post-Register blurb about the destruction of the old building. And below that is a great 2007 article about what the place was like when it was up and running. You might have to play around with the large photo file created from a PDF. It's worth the effort to read the full story. |
The last remnants of Saving Center, once a landmark in downtown Idaho Falls, were expected to be hauled away today.
Demolition work began Monday on the building located at 344 Memorial Drive, between Broadway and A Street. The building stood empty for years. Bob Everhart, executive director of the Idaho Falls Downtown Development Corp., said the demolition was expected to be completed today.
"It's pretty much down," Everhart said Tuesday. "They still have debris to deal with. But it looked like it was going exactly to plan."
Saving Center, which was a grocery store, opened in the mid-1940s. At one point, Everhart said, the grocery store shared the building with Melaleuca, which had an office there before moving. It closed its doors for good in 2008, citing soaring fuel costs and delivery charges, as well as competition from grocery store chains. Afterward, the lot provided paid parking spaces for downtown employees and residents. That ended Nov. 1, 2013, when it was announced the building would be torn down.
The demolition was necessary to make the property more attractive to prospective buyers, according to Jim Bell, an accountant for property owner Vern Kelsch.
In January 2008, the county assessor placed the value of the land at $196,000.
"The (building) was beyond the point of repair," Bell said. "The value, we ... think, is in the ground. There is nothing in the works (in terms of selling it). Right now, we're just focused on the demolition."
Below is a really cool comic book project.
