For 75 years, there's been a motel in the heart of a Montana city that has held fast to being historic, funky, and authentic. It's not fancy, but it is unique, has a great restaurant, and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Need a few friendly reminders why Bozeman, Montana is still cool? The growing pains are real and the price of breathing this pristine air certainly reflects that. But set the shade aside for a moment and let me share my Bozeman gratitude with you.

Apparently not EVERYONE is moving here, buying a vacation house here or even returning here ever again. We found some detailed "one star" reviews of Bozeman and these disgruntled people did NOT mince words.

Where do you find the best dive bars in Montana? All over the state, really. If you've never taken a tour of Montana, we've put together a gallery of pictures of some of the most important bars across the land. Bars in small communities are important.

We all know skiing has become a very expensive sport. Lift ticket prices have increased dramatically across the country, and ski hills are more crowded than ever. However, Montana still has a couple of excellent ski hills who have landed on a 'Most Affordable in the U.S.' list.

What makes a great lake town? How many lakes does Montana have? What are the best lakes in Montana besides Flathead? Great news: Montana has a lot more cool lakes and lake towns than you might think.

Have you ever wanted to own a funky, successful, much-loved small town bar and restaurant? I think everyone has that dream once or twice. We caught one of the best Montana bars and restaurants as listed for sale. It's a pretty cool set up for sale in one of Montana's nicest small towns.

There are lots of fun, interesting things to do this week around the Bozeman area. If you want to be social and really engage with other people, not just "go out", these events might help fill your social calendar.

I'm shocked and embarrassed that I've never been to this really gorgeous piece of Montana. It's so close, incredibly beautiful, inexpensive to visit, and right up my alley. Perhaps 'tourist attraction' isn't the right term for this Jefferson City gem.

When you have more money than you know what to do with, you may want to buy the most expensive 'whatever' you can find. We scoured Montana for the most expensive stuff you can buy, from gear and toys to RVs and cheese. No kidding.

It turns out not everybody is interested in funky short term rentals, of which Montana has several. We spotted an online ad for an unusual property for rent in Bozeman that gathered some of the funniest comments ever.

I have no idea what newbie Montanans expect when it comes to "hiring help" in Montana, but almost every single one that I've seen ask about it comes across as an entitled, arrogant, too-lazy-to-do-anything-themselves clown. It's uncanny. You've seen this stuff online, right? It's internet gold.
