Here are the top stories in Boise today:

1. A head-on crash on the interstate resulted in two deaths near Meridian. KLIX-AM's Benito Baeza reports the crash happened near the Eagle Road exit at around 1:19 a.m. Tuesday morning. Two sedans collided head-on in the eastbound lanes killing both drivers. (News Radio 1310 KLIX)
2. I read the following story with a slight grin hidden on my face. Although the date on this story is 2022, the actions in the story could have easily read 1970s, 1990s or even the 1950s. CBS2 news staff report Boise Police issued 30 citations in downtown Boise Friday night for speeding, exhaust problems or equipment violations. The more things change, the more they stay the same. (Idaho News)
3. Boise Patch is here to help you find the dream home you always wanted. Take a look at our roundup of real estate in the Boise area. (Boise Patch)
4. Idaho Lt. Gov. Janice's McGeachin's chief of staff is calling it quits at the end of the current session. The Idaho Capital Sun's Clark Corbin reports Jordan Watters gave McGeachin notice of his resignation on Thursday. (idahocapitalsun)
5. Even with gas prices high, the urge to grab the wheel and take a drive is strong when the weather turns this nice. BoiseDev reporter Anna Daly has some ideas for a leisurely drive around the 31 established scenic byways in Idaho. (boisedev)
