Moscow: an oddly bubbly town in the North end of Idaho, full of student life and college town culture. As much as there is to do in town, it can be easy to get wrapped up in Facebook events and reminders for things to do on campus. With student life on campus and a quirky downtown, it can feel like there is both little and too much to do.
From well-rounded local music at One World Cafe, block parties to celebrate the new semester and tons of delicious food — there are plenty of things to do this week. Stay tuned for a sponsored message from a town near you.
