It's incredibly easy. Parts of Montana are already a tinderbox for so many topics - housing, urban camping, politics, cost of living, etc. Throw in a chain restaurant with a significant political, religious, and social slant and you've got yourself an old fashioned screaming match.
Montana is obviously a big place, so it takes a lot of resources to cover such a vast territory. There are over 280 fire departments across the state, with the vast majority (80%+) being completely volunteer. No matter if they're career or volunteer, one of the most loved assets of fire departments? The fire stations themselves.
Montana has some wonderful dining options, but one small Montana town restaurant was just named one of the best in the nation according to a major publication.
Fall is definitely in the air in Southwest Montana but along with the crisp mornings and imminent snowfall there are many recreation opportunities on our area's roads, trails and campsites. We had a chance to chat with local forester and outdoor enthusiast Jocelyn Dodge and she offered some helpful suggestions for anyone who wants to get outside and enjoy the changing of the seasons.
This literally doesn't change anything about Montana, it would just make it way cooler. Plus, I think most of us would find this incredibly helpful, along with our four legged friends.
Some agree with this, while many don't. Is "Silent Saturday" going to become a regular expectation here in Bozeman? It's common throughout the U.S., just not sure how well it will be perceived locally.
