SO YOU WANT TO MOVE TO MONTANA? [Post your questions here]

0 Upvotes

Post your "Moving to Montana" (MtM) questions here.

A few guidelines to spurring productive conversations about MtM:

  1. Be Specific: Asking "what towns in Montana have good after-school daycare programs?" will get you a lot farther than "what town should I move to?"
  2. Do your homework: If a question can be answered with a google search ... do the google search. Heck, try searching previous threads here.
  3. Be sensitive to Montanans' concerns: Seriously, don't boast about how much cheaper land is here. It isn't cheap to people earning Montana wages. That kind of thing.
  4. Seriously, don't ask us what town to move to: Unless you're asking something specific and local-knowledge-based like, "I have job offers in Ryegate and Forsyth, which one has the most active interpretive dance theater scene"?
  5. Leave the politics out of it: If you're moving here to get away from something, you're just bringing that baggage along with you. You don't know Montana politics yet, and Reddit doesn't accurately reflect Montana politics anyway; so just leave that part out of it. No, we don't care that Gavin Abbot was going to take away your abortion gun. Leave those issues behind when asking Montanans questions. See r/Montana Rule #1 and hop on over to our sister subreddit, r/MontanaPolitics, for all of your Treasure State politics needs!
  6. If you insist on asking us where to move: you are hereby legally obliged to move to whatever town gets the most upvotes. Enjoy Scobey.
  7. If you are looking for broader help on traveling and tourism topics: please visit r/MontanaTravel. I hear it's nice this time of year...

-------------------------------------------

to r/Montana regulars: if they're here rather than out there on the page, they're abiding by our rules. Let's rein in the abuse and give them some legitimate feedback. None of the ol' "Montana's Full" in here, OK?

This thread will be refreshed monthly.

What’s the story with eating roadkill here? Is it just that we have salvage tags, or can we find it on a menu somewhere?

Will we see snow next week?

0 Upvotes

I was wondering, what the storm do you think? We’ll see any snow between Coeur d’Alene Idaho-Missoula and Kalispell between next Wednesday to Friday?

That storm has been messing with planning things lately, hopefully you guys are more familiar with the weather around there right now. Thanks.

To the Andrews of Montana

242 Upvotes

If you're an Andrew and from Montana, this post is for you.

Long story short, ever since I've had my current phone number (so approx. 10 years now), I have been getting calls, texts, messages, voicemails, EVERYTHING for an Andrew. I tell them every time, "hey, this isn't Andrew. This hasn't BEEN Andrew EVER. You have the wrong number." and yet 10 years later, I still get these calls and messages.

I can only assume that there's an Andrew over there who has nefariously and with ill intent been using what happens to be my number instead of his own (?) I didn't know where he was from for a long time, but last year, he used MY number for something politically related in Montana, and now I get hyper-specific messages and calls about / from "Dillon" Montana. I get surveys from Montana. I get scam calls from Montana. I now am afraid of Montana.

Hilariously, I have never been to Montana. I'm sure that y'all are great, the small handful of people I've met from here have all been very sweet, but none of them have been Andrew My Nemesis.

So, Andrew from Montana, wherever you are, I am sending you SO many bad vibes psychically, spiritually, whatever. You have 10 years of mild annoyance and sighs of irritation karma built up. If you're an Andrew and you're from Montana, I'm sorry, but we're now mortal enemies.

I'm posting this after getting fifteen different spam calls that were supposed to be for you in the course of 6 hours. This is not including the 4 texts messages of the same nature. All today. This is after years and recent-weeks of blocking every number with your area code who sends calls / texts through.

Also please pay your medical bill, you got a call for that as well. Might have been a scam though, don't get scammed. We may be enemies but I don't wish that on anyone. Not even Andrew from. Montana.

(Note : this is mostly a joke. A silly ha-ha moment. The plauge of Andrew from Montana is real, and I really would appreciate it if he stopped giving out a "random number" instead of his own to scammy stuff because it happens to be my number and that makes me sad. :( I don't wish any harm upon any Andrews, I'm sure that most of you are chill.)

This Weekend's Snow

0 Upvotes

Back home, the weather forecasters are notorious for predicting storms of the century that never happen. Grocery stores sell out of bread, milk, and eggs just before the entire city shuts down.
Great Falls is predicting up to 11 inches of snow this weekend. Will it actually happen?
Does everyone just hunker down or are there things to do when weather hits?

What happened to the wild horses on Granite Creek?

The herd was there last fall, this summer I rode up there, the fates were open, and no horses to be found. Were they moved to the Pryor Mountains or somewhere else?
