It's all typical HT BS banter humor. Water chummed and shiny lures. And it's Fonz.

Shoring up with a typical Straight Arrow / Buzz broad paintbrush (you colored this thread with racism). NW Montana in a very broad sense - to include Missoula, Sanders, Lincoln, Flathead, and Lewis & Clark County... No one introduced racism but you guys. Spin it however you'd like. Bring @Big Fin into this - I'd imagine he'll close this thread - grats, your mission accomplished. It's played it's course, regardless. You'll flap blame whichever direction serves your purpose and your fanboi base will absorb your bs.
How about we call a spade a spade. This is a @BuzzH , @Greenhorn , and @Straight Arrow hurt feeler response to the term "Bozangeles". Nothing, what-so-ever, to do with their crying rant side distraction diversion with the whiny "racism" card in a thread about Bozeman. But hey, @Greenhorn , Kurt, shared his disappointments with Bozeman earlier in the thread. Lordy, lordy, lordy... somebody hurt his (their) feelers. God forbid someone shares the history of the Bozeman resident created term back 2006...
Bozeman: is it really that bad anymore?
This thread got weird. Saw the part about the neo nazis. Amazing how many people live in this country that are just pure trash. Really bums me out.www.hunttalk.com
Play ball boys - you want to keep your diversion by introducing racism into the Bozeman thread, I'll be your huckleberry.
You win. I live in Boz Angeles. I like it!
Later.

I dunno..... i dunno what's going on anymore. Probably should get back on the sauce so I can try and make sense of it.
I have been working in Bozeman over the past month. One thing that's a real positive is the scenery ol Gallatin county presents is .......

Yes, and of course those involved in the homicide were transplants from large metropolitan areas ... definitely not Montana boys.I started calling it that while I was living there and this happened.

If you are still talking scenery, you need to go to Coeur d'Alene in the Summer. mtmuley

Sytes, you know not of what you write. No hurt feelers expressed by those you mention. We do agree with the characterization of the crazy growth related transformation of Bozeman, but I also still highly value the very wonderful aspects of Bozeman and the Gallatin area.
Don't be so quick to misunderstand and misinterpret to suit your own inaccurate perspective, please. Quantum mental misdirection, flawed logic gyration from "NW Montana (aka NE Idaho)" to "racism".
If I refer or react to "Bozangeles", it's not due to a "hurt feeler". It's due to realization of changes. "The only constant in life is change!"
Respect that I have been an engaged and active community member and resident of this area for Sixty years, with absence for only four years active Army time. So feel I've earned an opinion regarding changes in Bozeman.

You’re right. I knew both of the convicted.
Back on topic. Thank you.
I fully agree with you on the quoted portion above. My thoughts of the surge - our economies and that of our low/mid class citizens. This is Montana wide and... Kalispell is the new top target for economic flips. Attempting to figure housing, rental structures to manage... People moving with large amounts of $ still want their McDonalds coffee, yet... Where do these people [Employees] live?
This is what I clearly meant by Montana has been met by the "Yellowstone" era. People place TV as the reality of life. It has flip flopped many economies. Lincoln County is another who already felt the demise of public logging - Now, they have been flipped again by people moving from metro areas with more money than the current structure can accommodate.
It's a challenge for many areas.
As for the rest of your comment... cheers.

The best thing in Bozeman right now is this week, spring break. Half of town is gone. Streets are dead. No ski lines at Bridger, bar stools open at watering holes. Feels like a slow moving town again for this one week.

We always enjoy Butte when we are there for sports.
The end of hunting season is always nice when all those 6 license plates full of Bozifornians finally leave our eastern Montana paradise and head back to their nice amenities, ‘best’ large and crowded public schools, expensive ski hills, fancy restaurants, good medical facilities, piles of transplant ‘residents’, extremely overpriced housing, crowded blue ribbon trout streams, and busy new development. Hopefully they got enough content for their Instagrams, YouTube pages, and facebooks to get them through a few months before they make the trip east again. The growth in popularity of Turkey and shed hunting combined with trail cameras for scouting deer and elk year round though have really decreased that brief serenity we used to get, and it seems like there is always a 6 plate around anymore. It’s too bad they ruined the hunting and fishing around their own town and have to come east to ruin it there too…

I was driving through Sandpoint a couple of years ago and got to see a Trump flag flying ABOVE the American flag on the flag pole.

Sheesh. I never thought we’d get this much butt hurt from Bozeman folks. Can we all agree it’s time to bulldoze to allow mule deer migration to happen again. And if apr buys it, so be it?

I like it, but @Ought Six isn't exaggerating much. We will give you a pass though because once upon a time you did call Eastern Montana home.
From a guy on the eastern side of the state whose only option for groceries is an over priced Reynolds or a Dollar General heading out west to a WinCo is a fricken treat. The cracker cut cheese trays are awesome. Mother in law came out this direction this week. “You guys need anything from Helena before I head that way”. “You stopping at WinCo?” “Yes I am”. “Grab a pen this is going to be quite the list”.
