Spring in CdA
Welcome to LoveCdA.com!

There are many sites about Coeur d'Alene. Many of them have great information about the city, the lake, and the surrounding area. But very few are updated regularly, and even fewer are updated by local people! Our goal is to provide a networking site through which Coeur d'Alene residents can provide useful information to the other members of the local community. LoveCdA will be the repository of all information about the city and the area, useful to local residents and visitors alike.

I Want To Move To CDA!

Hi there! I just love the area, and am planning on moving there in a few months. I was wondering if anyone could give me some hints about housing (rentals), jobs, or anything else that might be useful? I lived there about 13 years ago. I know it has grown a lot! Would you say that spring is a good time to move there? I'm coming from San Diego, Ca. Thanks!

Idaho Scenic Images - Northwest Outdoor and Nature Images

I will be the first to admit I'm not much of a writer. My blogs are all centered on my photo shoots, with a preview of my newest images. I update about twice a month, more or less depending on shooting conditions. Thanks for taking a peek. View Blog at http://idahoscenicimages.blogspot.com/

50% of departures late, 50% VERY late. This is normal.

I spent a lot of time today doing research across the web trying to keep the lovecda Snow Day article updated with the latest information coming from official sources. In that time I came across a lot of busy sites, a lot of poorly designed sites, a lot of sites that just weren't working, and a few sites that just made me question what in the world was going on.

One of these was the flightview.com site. There I saw one of the most interesting bits of information I'd seen all day.

Flightview.com GEG tracker

The Spokane Airport (GEG) has a little green star next to it, indicating departure status "Normal" Yet right below it was showing that 50% of the departures were late and the other 50% were very late. Arrivals were 40% On time, 30% late and 30% very late. That's considered "NORMAL" for the Spokane airport?!! Holy hell.

I've flown out of Spokane many times so I can't argue with this data--flights do seem to constantly leave late compared to other airports. But still, to have those types of stats listed as normal is a pretty dismal testament to your efficiency.

Compare that to Boise right now (no screenshot you're just going to have to trust me on this one). BOI has a red star right now for "Major Delays" but more than 40% of Boise's arrivals are on time, about 25% very late, and the rest late. Boise's departures are about 65% on time.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy is One of the Top 100 Schools in the Nation!

Out of 21,000 schools researched by U.S. News & World Report, CDA Charter Academy was ranked 97th. I'm not surprised. I'm thrilled, but not surprised. Three of my children attend Charter. We are planning to send our youngest son into 6th grade there next year. It's a fantastic school!

Congratulations to all of the hard working administration, staff, and teachers at CDA Charter. Also, way to go fellow parents for doing your part to make our school such a great place too!
