Doughnut Dreams

Boise has a serious shortage of good doughnut shops. This is a serious problem and it needs fixing. It is Levi's and my dream to change that and open up an amazing local doughnut shop. One place that has inspired us is Top Pot Doughnuts in Seattle. Not only are their doughnuts one of a kind, but their building is amazing. The front is swanky and artsy...
...and the back shows the old history of the building:

Yesterday I was out walking with Hadley in her Baby Bjorn and was able to snap some pictures of the building I'd love to turn into Boise Doughnut Company (or Boise Doughnut Factory...which name do you like best?)
The building has such amazing bones, it's the old Idaho Linen Supply. A fantastic location and great history, just needs a little bit of a facelift :)

Here's a shot of the interior. Just needs a new coat of paint, right?,

Even though the building looks rough, the businesses right across the street have had a total facelift and are so fantastic.


What do you think? Do you think Levi and I could make our doughnut dream fly? All we need is to win the lottery or have a Daddy Warbucks-type person enter our lives....Any takers?
