Great for the Family
You won't find a safer place to live than Great Falls. I was born and raised there until I was 18 and it's a great place...however.
Great Falls is somewhat culturally isolated, which is a good thing and a bad thing. Relatively low crime, mostly just hyjinks, random voilent crime I would say is extremely rare. The schools are good, relatively safe places that take education seriously. However, aside from an overrun of video casinos and a couple of movie theathers, Great Falls doesn't offer up much as far as entertainment. No concerts, no shows, few sports, nothing. I always thought it was because I was too young to get into the good stuff, but still it's an extremely dull town, no excitement (good or bad).
It's also true about the economy, I can't see what would bring someone to Great Falls, but I could see why they leave. There's a lack of opportunity in the town, but most residents I would say were born and raised there and aren't big into opportunities or advancement.
From here on out, I'll always enjoy my time in Great Falls...on short visits only.
