Hemingway was described as unusually hesitant, disorganized, confused & his eyesight was failing. He was concerned about money, missed Cuba, his books, and his life there, & was afraid he'd never go back. Hemingway became paranoid, believing the FBI was actively monitoring his movements in Ketchum. Under an alias he was admitted to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota where he was treated 15 times with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) . Hemingway said, "What is the sense of ruining my head & erasing my memory, which is my capital, and putting me out of business? It was a brilliant cure, but we lost the patient" Two days later Hemingway unlocked the basement storeroom where his guns were kept, went upstairs to the front entrance foyer, put 12 shells in the shotgun, put the end of the barrel into his mouth, pulled the trigger & blew out his brains here.

Next Tuesday, October 7 is last for 2014. THE GOODS Booths line both sides of about a half block. While a small market the choices are many and excellent from organic produce of all kinds, splendid looking fresh baked berry pies (a line here before the market opened so that is a good sign), pasture raised pork, local raised beef, fresh eggs, goat cheese and artisan baked breads to name just a few of the several items for sale. Bellvue General Store was in the house selling their homemade pesto and catsup among other treats from that store just in case you forgot to stop on your way through Bellvue. There were also a couple of local artisans like a women selling adorable earrings and a man selling handsome coffee mugs THE MUSIC Live music every week. The performer on our visit was Mark Mueller on acoustic guitar with vocals. I wanted to pull up a seat and stay for his entire gig for the four hours of the market. Go listen to him wherever he plays. HOURS 2:00 - 6:00 THIS N THAT 1) PARKING On street parking is very, very limited in Ketchum. You will have better luck in shoulder season, after Labor Day, but even then it is lucky to find a parking spot. 2) ACCESSIBILITY Ketchum is miserable for access infrastructure like parking, curb cuts and sidewalks. Know that in general before you go if mobility is an issue. But the market itself is on level paved street and nicely accessible if you can get there. 3) FOOD STAMPS They take them. 3) GOOD NEIGHBOR Bigwood, the bread people, is right next door with retail café.

The short-rib was served over polenta with roast veggies--purple cauliflower, carrot and broccoli. Shoutout to Dexter and the other staff for making our experience the best!

I have been coming to Zenergy for years, and this is the first time I have ever felt compelled to…read moreleave a review. Zenergy has long been considered the premier spa in Sun Valley, which is exactly why this experience was so surprising. I booked a $400 HydraFacial the week before my wedding and expected a level of service that matched both the price and the reputation. My fiancé booked a men's facial while I booked the HydraFacial. About 10 minutes into our appointments, I realized we had been given each other's treatments. I was receiving the men's facial, while my fiancé, who is a man, had been started on my HydraFacial. I was the one who caught the mistake. Instead of handling it themselves, my esthetician told me she could not interrupt my fiancé's facial, so I had to get completely dressed, leave my treatment room, and go to the front desk to sort it out myself. By the time everything was resolved, my HydraFacial did not begin until 4:25 and ended at 4:55, leaving only about 30 minutes of treatment. Unfortunately, the facial itself was equally disappointing. The lights were never dimmed, the knee cushion was never adjusted, and aside from using the HydraFacial device once, there was essentially no facial performed. It felt rushed and nowhere close to what I would expect from a $400 treatment. My fiancé was also disappointed with his facial. He described it as mostly lotion being rubbed on his face with very little else. We were also surprised to learn that the same person who had done my manicure a few weeks earlier was performing his facial... To Zenergy's credit, they waived the charges, and I appreciated that gesture. What ultimately prompted me to leave this review, however, was the email I received afterward from the spa manager. Rather than acknowledging the service failures, the response focused on explaining booking procedures and HydraFacial contraindications, implying that we had somehow misunderstood the appointments. That was never the issue. The issue was the mix up, the fact that I lost a significant portion of my appointment because of an error I had to identify and resolve myself, and the quality of the service we ultimately received. My family, friends, and I have been coming to Zenergy for years, and we have never felt the need to complain. Lately, I have been hearing from more and more people around Sun Valley that they feel Zenergy has been going downhill, and I sincerely hope that is not the case. The facilities are beautiful, and the vast majority of the staff has always been wonderful. That is exactly why this experience, and especially the response from management, was so disappointing. I hope this feedback is taken seriously because Zenergy has built an incredible reputation, and I would hate to see that standard slip.
