BOISE, Idaho (CBS 2) — A year after a fire, the Knitting Factory in downtown Boise is back and better than ever.

Last year's fire-damaged 60% of the venue, which had to shut down for six months.

Everything has since been changed. The floors, lights, sound system, and air conditioning.

General manager Gary Pike says he's enjoying seeing both old and new music patrons come to the venue.

Gary Pike is proud the knitting factory is home to a lot of local musicians.

And he hopes the upgrades to the sound system and lighting will improve the experience for music fans.
