Great Falls can be Great -
11/19/2019Great Falls is great depending upon one’s perspective. Yes, it has many bars and casinos and we have seen many a car outside of them, but we were unaffected by it. Neither the gambling crazed nor the drunkards stormed out of the establishments flailing arms at us nor tried to persuade us to imbibe upon the offerings. It does have a lot of car theft and property crime, but violent crime is minimal. The governing body of Great Falls and the community of individuals try to keep it going. If you are one who desires lots of chain store shopping, many concerts or a barrage of food faire, this is not the place for you. However, if you like to shop local stores, can handle eating at traditional comfort foods or well known places like McDonalds, grocery shop at a place like Walmart or Albertsons and can enjoy entertainment that is ‘down home Montana’, you should be happy with Great Falls. They host parades and many community events. Montana is very supportive of the military and the teachers are earnest in their endeavors to be leaders for the children. If you homeschool, there is much going on with it as well. The camping, hunting and nature opportunities are incredible around Montana. They don’t call this place Big Sky Country for nothing. If you need to “get outta Dodge”...aka....Great Falls for a couple days, Bozeman, Billings and Missoula are within a three hour drive.
