Well said. We left 20 years ago next month. We loved it but we just never felt like we could break through to be “part “of the community. Then we moved back to Great Falls. It took less than a week to be invited to play on softball teams, hang out for BBQ’s and do fun things with people who are all pretty much on a similar playing field. Sure, some have more than others, but that gap is smaller and the people generally don’t purposely exclude anyone. You can still get your fancy latte here, but it will be served to you by someone who doesn’t have to live 10 miles out just to survive.
I miss the mountains and the little parts of Bozeman that were still “real” and I HATE the wind in Great Falls, but I will take the wind any day of the week to have the sense of community that we have here.
