Update on RNH

Monday, April 28, 2008

An update on Redneck Hippie, whose real name, I believe, is Larry Kralj. My recent entry about his mean-spirited rants on the Tribune forums resulted in a comment here at GreaterFalls from someone who claimed to remember Larry when he was a teacher in Chester, and related a tale about Larry’s behavior during that time. I don’t know if the incident really happened, and if so, if it happened the way the commenter remembers it. My opinion is that there might well be some truth to it, but that’s based only on what I know about present-day Larry and...

Wouldja believe that there are some new Great Falls bloggers added to the roster? First up is Roots & Leaves, created by Beatrix, who is a massage therapist and herbalist. Next up is The Crow’s Nest, from Capt Black Eagle, a familiar name to anyone who has visited the Tribune Forums. He’s starting off with some thoughts about Montana and the economy. Go welcome our newest bloggers!

Linkage

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Great Falls blogger Ataricat has an entry in a contest to create an ad for Barack Obama; while I do not support Obama, I will say that Ataricat’s ad is pretty cool. Go take a look and cast your vote! How many of you believe that Great Falls is haunted? According to Strange USA, there are at least three spots in (or near) town that rate. This isn’t about Great Falls, but it IS about a Canada Goose. It’s a sweet tale of a semi-adopted goose, told from the goose’s perspective. Looking for some reviews of Dick’s RV Park?...

From The Archives

Wednesday, April 23, 2008

Instead of the regular mid-week Retro entry, how about a look at some of the early Archives here at GreaterFalls? These entries are from May and June of 2005, when the site was only a few weeks old: How many of you have heard of Boulder Ridge? It’s a fancy resort just a few miles south of town, but anecdotal research tells me that most folks in Great Falls don’t even know it exists. Remember the Bison Parade? Modeled after the successful Cow Parade, this one placed decorated bison sculptures around Great Falls. Still some around town. Very whimsical!...

Inaugural Crossword Puzzle

I’m not sure why, but I thought it would be fun to create a crossword puzzle. Nearly all of the answers are Great Falls-related, although a few exceed GF city limits. Only one answer has nothing to do with Montana; what can I say, I was stumped to fit anything else. So here it is: if you click on it, it will display in larger size suitable for printing. And yes, it does help if you are familiar with the Great Falls blogging community for a few of the answers. I hope you like it! And here are the...

A recap of a few items still hanging out there: first, if anyone has a generator that they can loan out for use in a local rock concert, please let me know. Second, if you have an opinion about a proposed local radio talk-show, drop a comment here and let ‘em know. And third, did anyone ever find out the cause of the power outage last week?

Around the Great Falls ‘Sphere

Sunday, April 6, 2008

As always, there’s plenty of good stuff going on in the Great Falls blogosphere…let’s take a look: Local author Jamie Ford, who knows a thing or two about books, offers up opinions about Book Clubs. I think we should start an ad-hoc book club when his is published! The Other Dave has some thoughts about our fair community, and touches on the subject of the proposed parking-meter fee hike. Me? Well, I know most of you will think me foolish, but I get a kick out of dropping a coin in the meter, so dropping two coins might be...
