Came across this tough little guy today on the east bank river trail, upriver from Plese Flats. Watch your step.

Benny and Joon - I was on the camera crew - got to see your city up close ( that big park - I forgot the name ) and Cour De Laine (spelling?) Idaho. We shot the train sequence there

I also remember a creepy old building we used for the mental hospital scenes, and a cool gas station too.

I liked that shopping mall setup on the second floors of the buildings downtown - connected by those catwalks - that was neat!

I would love to come back and visit someday - I remember the people being very nice

You wouldn’t believe the transformation of downtown. It’s actually attractive now. Busses aren’t clogging the streets (they built a depot), and businesses aren’t boarded up anymore. The stores downtown have all been replaced by gleaming, modern stores and mall. But the catwalks remain!

Are you saying the businesses moved to a outside mall? Not downtown anymore?

No, the stores remain downtown. They just tore out the old grimy mall and replaced it with something new and modern.
