Thanks! The hotel will really add density to downtown, and I can't wait to see it rise.

I see that one whenever I'm at my dad's. The building that crane is associated with is this one:

That crane will get taller as well. It is 3 sections too short. I wasn't told any exact details, but it had something to do with a miscommunication on the required height. Now they have to re-submit permits with the FAA, and that could take quite a few months to get it approved. The garage will move on and eventually the crane will push itself up taller.

This is excellent news.

I'm going to love seeing a random tower in Garden City.

Yeah, it's going to look really out of place so far away from DT Boise.

The 7 story Saratoga is a mammoth project.
Hotel Renegade has trees along the building now, and inside curtains and light fixtures can be seen on multiple floors. Signage over front entrance and Baraboo super club. Back parking lot has been resurfaced. Food truck was delivering for the soon soft opening.

thanks for the update pics. the saratoga is indeed massive... i wish it was 4 times as tall on 1/4th the footprint, but we'll take it.

Hotel Renegade is going to be a gem. love the retro look of it... really looks like it was built 100 years ago.

for those NOT originally from Wisconsin, the correct way to pronounce "Baraboo" is "Bear-a-boo". I've heard a few people mispronounce it recently. hope they have Friday Night Fish Fries and good Old Fashioneds, the Wisconsin way.

They got the chef Reno Rodriguez ( a Beard award winner) from Anthony's whose Idaho trout was to die for.
