Not thrilled
I currently live in Great Falls, Mt. My husband and I moved here because after he retired from the military last year he couldn't get a good job in Boise where we were living and so it was necessary to re-locate. We were optimistic about the move and hoped it would be a great place to settle down but it really doesn't suit our needs. Montana itself is beautiful but Great Falls needs a lot of work. The houses are mostly old, the streets are in great need of repair and there's not much to do here. There's a casino on just about every corner and a few adult entertainment establishments. Restaurants and shopping leave much to be desired, although there are a couple that we like. There's only one movie theater, a Home Depot but not Lowes, and they have a mall which includes stores like Herbergers, JC Penny, and Sears- the usual. On the other side of the water is a Barnes and Noble, Old Navy, etc. The weather isn't great either. There's not much of a summer to speak of and the winters are really cold and lots of snow. When I say cold I mean -17 degree cold. Some people love it here, and if you like winter sports and activities it can be really nice. Oh, there's also no sales tax. :)
