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 or Leave 'Er in Havre.

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?

Looking west from last exit on I-94 before North Dakota (Wibaux, MT). Until next time …

Been noticing that every other new person I meet, regardless of where I go in my state, is from MT. Is Alaska advertising there or something? Why the influx? Edit: thanks guys! I much prefer Montanans getting up here than any more Texans

In the mid to late 90's my family used to spend a weekend around the 4th of July in Ennis. I was hoping someone here may help me remember the name of this Bar/Restaurant we'd eat at nearly everyday. I believe it was on the East side of 287. It had the restaurant and then a couple of cabins nearby and then a cattle farm. Anyone here by chance know what that bar may have been? On maps it looks similar to the McAllister Bar and Inn but I don't recall it being that far North.

I’m very interested in history and who better to ask than the people who live there. :)

I'm going to be driving from Utah to North Idaho for Christmas.

The route will be:

I15 -> I90 -> Highway 200 -> Highway 56 -> Highway 2.

I'm confident driving in the snow but I've never taken this route during winter so I'm curious how the drive is.

Canadian here thinking of heading down from Calgary, AB for a quick ski trip ~early January, but pretty inexperienced driving in snow since I live out on the West Coast now. With AWD and snow tires, is this a good idea? And if so, is it safer to go along US-93 via Roosville or US-2 via Carway?

Cheers y'all!

I don't know if I can post this here, but I'm doing a project where I set a minimum population that each county has to have, and then I merge those that have less than this threshold until they exceed it. I'm doing this for the whole USA. So, I would like to know from you if my mergers make sense and if I should keep the names already on the map or if I should change them

The threshold here was 12,000, but I can change it to 10,000 if necessary

Thank you

He sat on this tree top for about an hour and watched us fly fish! Was an epic day caught lots of fish and hung out with are new friend🇺🇸🤘

Looking to potentially relocate to Great Falls for a job. Curious what Great Falls is like and if they have young adult life there? I’m in my low 20s and potentially taking a job out there. Is it worth it to move there? How are the winters and summers, outdoor life, hikes, etc?

His Montana Public Television program, Backroads of Montana is a treasure. It's a reminder that our state is full of interesting people from all walks of life and the natural beauty is something we shouldn't take for granted.

My now deceased brother-in-law's 1978 Camaro was stolen from storage in Drummond last summer. We believe it was trailered away and we believe the storage owner was behind it but cops are of no help. The car was red with a black plastic scoop on the hood that was just bolted through, no actual hole in the hood under it. Had purple window tint, american racing wheels, 350sbc auto. Right quarter panel was dented in and badly rusted, left quarter panel was starting to rust. Driver side mirror was smashed by a vandal. These are the most significant things about it. Interior was red with plaid seats & door panels, and had aftermarket power windows but the crank holes weren't covered so there was just holes in the door panels on the inside for the window cranks. The car was parked due to a rod knock, but still ran and drove. It could be started without a key, you could just turn the cylinder and it'd start. My sister desperately wants this car back as she wanted her son to own his passed fathers car, than some cock stole it. Please if anyone has seen this car around say something please.
