Awww, this is sad – the downtown Hardee’s has closed permanently. Sign on the window tells people to visit the one on 10th Avenue South near 26th Street. Not much of a fan of their burgers – which is sad, because they look really good in TV commercials! – but I do enjoy their breakfast…
Motifs For The Home is closing its downtown store at 417 Central Avenue. Been there a few times, and it was a cool shop. Kattie explained in a Facebook post: “Owning a boutique store was always a dream of mine and I’m so grateful for the relationships that have cultivated from operating Motifs. There are…
The Great Falls Police Department last week announced that they would be selling “Back The Blue” signs – and people are loving it! Any donations of more than $10 per sign will benefit the foundation. Signs may be purchased in advance by visiting the organization’s website and submitting a donation in the amount of the number of…
OOH, a new snack treat! NUTTER PUFFS! These are good – really good. They are kind of like eating Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch, but don’t tear up the roof of your mouth 😀 And they are reasonably healthy-ish (by my standards) – each serving has 5 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber. And…
Here’s a flashback to March 2008: we took a drive out to Augusta (about 50 miles west of Great Falls), and it was simply gorgeous. After a good lunch in town, we drove a little north in search of one of the filming locations for the movie “Northfork.” It was filmed in and around Great…

I ate there once, and it was pretty good. Nice decor, too. This spot was Portofino’s in 2002, and after Rio Ranch Grill closed,…
If you’ve been outside at around 8 p.m. in Great Falls the last few nights, you might have heard something unusual: howling (along with some other noises). No, it’s not a pack of wolves – it’s people who are showing their appreciation for people who are on the front lines in the fight against the…
Some people keep trying to push the “it’s just the flu!” narrative, or somehow try to minimize COVID-19 by (mistakenly) comparing it to the flu. Those people are usually also the ones screaming that “the media” isn’t reporting the number of recovered COVID-19 patients. But guess what? Media outlets are trying to report the number…
“The media” is me and my friends who live right here, too – and we are experiencing the exact same thing as everyone else.
We stopped at The Block to have lunch a few days ago, and as always, we were not disappointed.
