Lots of people stopping along the northern portion of River Drive this week to see the Falls restored to some of their glory. Thanks to Alan, here’s a couple of awesome pictures:
This is awesome: Jack Velvet, a hipster from Vancouver, drove all the way to Great Falls just to experience our world-famous Sip-n-Dip, and his blog entry about the trip includes a nifty 9-minute video that serves as sort of a “Sip-n-Dip 101″ that includes the legendary Piano Pat, some mermaids, and the ritual consumption of a fishbowl. And Jack’s better half, Miss Pinky, also documented their trip to Great Falls and has a bunch of pictures to share. Overall, they did a great job of capturing some of the retro elements of our community that make it so cool....
Got an e-mail via the Contact form with the following question: Where, in Great Falls, can I donate about 100 pounds of pull tabs from pop cans? Well, my initial thought is to try Pacific Steel & Recycling, but I’ll leave it to my much-smarter readers to offer alternatives.
This…um…unusual campaign sign was spotted on 2nd Avenue North yesterday. It reads: “Hillary Clinton for President; Mother Of The United States of America” Anyone want to take a shot at explaining it…?
GF Girl alerts us that the City has finished the study examining the feasibility of converting 1st and 2nd Avenue South and 5th and 6th Street to two-way streets, from their current one-way status. The conclusion of the study: The public comments, Neighborhood Council feedback, investigation into costs and the public opinion survey, all demonstrate there is little support for the conversion. Based on the above findings, staff recommends that all current efforts to convert the subject one-way streets and avenues to two-way be suspended. Whew. I’m glad the streets will stay the same. The whole report can be...
Just another thing to love about Great Falls: sure, it’s great that most of the coffee bars in town know my “regular” order — usually a quad-shot iced Americano — but it’s even more awesome that when I hit the Starbucks drive-thru to grab a bag o’beans, I get handed this (tnx Aaron!): Read The Whole Thing >>> In other news…a loyal reader e-mailed and asked if I know of any old-style phone booths here in town. There might be one at Eddie’s Supper Club, but if you know of any others, drop a comment or e-mail me. And...
Did you know that there is a model R/C club here in Great Falls? These are the folks who fly the little “model” airplanes via radio (or remote) control – pretty cool. Lots of pictures here. The Great Falls Chiropractic Clinic has a website. You can learn more about Drs Stoebe and Matury here. And speaking of chiro, the new Crane Chiropractic (off exit 0 near the Marketplace) is offering a complete initial consult and exam for only $20 and a donation of a bag of food for the GF Food Bank. More information: 590-5900. If you’re interested, call...
