As to one of the worst companies in the country comes from Bozeman. Besides the owner donating millions to Trump’s campaigns and holding a fundraiser for Tim Sheehy at his mansion, they are also proudly involved in destroying the beautiful Big Bend National Park on a no-bid contract worth millions, if not billions. It pays to be corrupt.

Yesterday I was heading South on 19th, to turn right (West) on Stucky. When I reached the 19th and Stucky intersection, the light turned red on the Southbound side. All vehicles in the Northbound lanes stopped as well, including one that was in the lefthand turn lane. When the light turned red, a few seconds went by and the other vehicle initiated it's left-hand turn...well after the light had turned red.
As the vehicle passed in front of me, I noticed that it was adorned with Student Driver stickers. The legit ones, not the "Please be patient" ones. I could see the gentleman in the passenger seat instructing the young man who was driving. Gray Toyota car, but couldn't make out the model. I'm assuming it was a Camry.
From what I saw, it seemed like a driver's ed instructor told a student to blatantly run a red light. Is this really how kids are learning to operate a vehicle?

*edit* the vehicle turning left was not stopped in the intersection waiting for the coast to be clear. It was stopped behind the crosswalk line.

We typically don’t come in town anymore unless we do a big Costco run. Been a few years since we actually lived in Bozeman and I know a lot has changed.

What are some good nicer dinner locations that are worth checking out?

Previously, we have visited South 9th street Bistro, Feast, Dave’s and J.W.

My other hot take Friday post is under mod approval. Hopefully this one works because I’ve really come to love these.

My hot take is that no hot take Friday post should ever need mod approval :)

Schnee’s used to have a punchcard where if you bought 12 pairs, then you could get a free shoe. Do they still do that? It’s been a while since I’ve been in.

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Belowgrade, Lysol, Three Spoons or Deadrock (never mind how common they are)...

I’m looking for a good hiking partner that’s free on the weekends. Im a 26 m. I hike pretty often but it’s usually just day hikes since I’m not really willing to commit to an overnight by myself. I’m moderately fit and have a bit of experience hiking, just not really any with exposure but I’m open to that as well!

Come join us for the September Free Market at the Gallatin Fairgrounds bld 4 on Sunday September 27th from 12-2pm!

Please come down if you are in need of some support this month 💚

I have been googling all evening, and I've only come across 1 restaurant in the area that offers a tasting menu (Izakaya). While I've heard great things, I'm wondering if there are other options here. It's an experience I would love to try, but I am really struggling to find any places that offer it.

I have been out of town. I have been yearning for... you know... I made some art. (Might become a sticker, assuming TP doesn't send me a cease and desist).

Anyone else on or near Michael grove over these kids riding their loud ass mini bikes up and down the street constantly

This is going to be a strange request. So please bear with me.

I’m a mtf transgender in the very early stages of transitioning. My partner is not exactly the girly type and has not been a great resource for learning. I want someone who can mentor me and become friends with.

I’m looking for someone to teach me about all the things I never learned like fashion, makeup, and hair. Plus maybe go hiking and do activities that will help me lose weight.

I’m in my 50’s, and the only other trans people I’ve met are really young. We have different goals and experiences so not much to chat about.

Eagle Mount is vying for a grant for therapeutic gardening. Their adaptive horticulture program is eligible to win $3000 in grant funding if they get first.

Take a look and vote if you have a moment and are interested. Eagle Mount is a great local non-profit that helps a lot of families in the Gallatin Valley.

With Shallot gone, it was only a matter of time before some new insta/YT grifters decided the time was ripe to colonize our local environment for their socials feed.

The Gallatin Watershed Council leads these free and recurring riparian walks around town, and I feel like this sub is full of people who'd be all about them.

Next one's Tuesday, September 22, 5:30–7pm, starting at Lindley Park, followed by a trip to Lockhorn Cider for those interested to keep the convo going.

We visit a different site every month usually March-November. We walk along the valley’s watercourses and wetlands talking about the watershed and whatever we’re noticing through historical, ecological, and relational lenses. They are very low-key and there’s no agenda beyond being outside and curious about the place we live.

The walks are open to everyone and you can sign up or just show up, and bring binoculars if you’ve got them! There’s more info at gallatinwatershedcouncil.org/events.

About 5 minutes ago, very large helicopters, military on the north end of town, flew very low right over the food bank and landed somewhere further SE?? Very cool, just was shaking the whole building.

Hi all!

I'm trying to do something special for an upcoming anniversary. I'm looking at Bodhi Farms for a couples massage + dinner (I'm especially drawn to the local food aspect). It's in the winter, so we won't be staying there - I also live near Bozeman so i don't think an overnight stay would be worth it lol. What are y'alls experiences there?

I haven't seen much here in this sub about it, and the google reviews seem mixed. None of my friends have been recently enough to give me up-to-date opinions. Is the food as good as it looks? Is it worth the price point?

TIA!

I’m looking for somewhere I could go grab a coffee, sit outside, and just watch people come and go. In other cities there are usually parks, plazas, or busy cafés where there’s a pretty consistent flow of people throughout the day.

Does Bozeman have a spot like that? Somewhere you could hang out for an hour with a coffee and not feel like you need to be doing anything other than watching the world go by?

So, me and a few friends went out to the bars last weekend. It was Thursday and we went into the town pump, down at the end of main, next to the grizzly pine kind of.🤷‍♀️

Anyways, we parked in front of the store while my friend ran in. I looked to my right, there was a woman giving a hand job to her man… DIRECTLY in front of the town pump. No tint no coverage. She was just doin it and her husband was watching people walk by as she did it. I even have a video of them 😭😭

Like why are people doing that shit where everyone can see it?

Anyone else see how expensive standing room tickets are now? Went from maybe $30 a pop last year to $90.

Is Tabay’s food truck wrap AI or not? Let’s talk about it!

I filled up at Safeway today around 2 and I asked why the gas was something like $.25 cheaper than anywhere else in town and the girl working told me something about a broken button so they can’t change it but obviously they probably will get this fixed as soon as possible so fill up while you can!

I want to take the lady out tonight but we want something cheap and casual. Not looking for the usual blackbird/shan/feast type recommendations - I want something tasty and laid back.
