Kalispell resident of 20 years with small children. We are finally getting the eff out of dodge aka Kalispell. RUN away, far far away and don’t look back! DO NOT bring your children to this frozen hell hole! LOOK at the statistics; meth, suicide, abuse, sex offenders at every corner, no jobs, no rentals. We are a couple days away from May and it SNOWED! It’s freezing and there’s no sun. Most residents here suffer from depression in the dark winters sunrise at 9am susnset at 5pm and you have to take vitamin D supplements even through the summer months....Yes, it’s beautiful, yes it’s free and wild. It’s a wonderful place to visit but I will never come back. If you watch the movie “the Grey” with Liam Neesen than you will get a good “comparison” of MT, it’s people, it’s unforgiving climate and the cloud of depression that hovers above. This is a small town and everyone knows everybody’s business therefore be forewarned, people you don’t know will claim to know you better than you know yourself. It’s all about who you know here not necessarily you’re skills. You could have more skills and knowledge than anyone in the company and just because Jane Doe knows the big boss even though she doesn’t know half of what you know she’ll end up getting the job. Education is lacking and you had better pray to God you never get any sort of serious illness because the doctors here won’t be able to figure it out until it’s too late... I strongly suggest you take my advice and become a tourist not a resident however if you do not heed my warning and become a resident anyways may the Lord have mercy on your soul .....GoT reference “winter is coming” has an all too real meaning in this northern Montana town. Quick fact: over 10 of my friends or acquaintances from elementary through high school have either killed themselves, killed their children or have been killed by drunk drivers. That’s a large number for such a small town. Don’t even get me started on all the abuse or partner/family member assault! If you don’t believe me check out Flathead county jail roster and see for yourself. All the crazies are here. There’s a joke that people here always say “must be somethin in the water”. They’re wrong though, it’s not the water...
