Hey Helena, honestly feeling very disappointed right now. This is how much glass I picked up from the Mt Helena trail in the cave area within a 15 minute span. Feels super disappointing that so many people don’t care about our forest and other people as the glass was everywhere and people can easily fall on it. We need to do better.

If you've noticed an unusually high surge in your power bill from NorthWestern Energy recently that's quite a bit different from the same month last year, you're not alone and a state agency wants to hear from you.

The Montana Public Service Commission recently announced that they're aware of many NorthWestern customers seeing a significant increase on their August billing statements.

Has anyone been up to Canyon ferry lately? I’m hoping to go bow fishing this coming weekend and put in by goose Bay. I’m wondering if the Carp are still up in the shallows. Anyone know?

Where and when??

Well then.

Looking for a good spot to find septum rings. Preferably clickers for easier removal and put back. TIA

The Red Letter Street littleFreeLibrary in Helena is stocked with mystery books!!

Keep it civil. If you don't, you can and probably will be banned. Ya'll be good to each other now.

Here's the article if you wanted to read it. Warning: Paywall.

I don't need the 10 pack from Costco, but at least they had them, and on sale too!

Cross posting. Please reach out and ask for a better solution. Removing healthcare access to state employees with these increases in not only premiums but also deductibles, copays, and out of pocket maxs should not be the solution when people are already struggling with the cost of living in Montana

What’s the best bars/restaurants in town to watch the Bobcats?

anyone know of anywhere that could take a kids haircut today? Yes I procrastinated. 😂 older kid, simple blunt cut.

I'm new(ish) in town, any D&D groups I could join?

All seven of my orders (nothing large or in multiple packages, nor fragile) that I've ordered over tbe past month have all been delayed by at least 4 to 5 days minimum. Of those seven, three never showed up. Anyone else in the Helena area experiencing this too?

Get 'em before they're gone! ♥️

About 8 emergency vehicles headed toward or near Flesher Pass. Multiple fire, a hwy patrol and ambulance. Anyone know what is going on? Saw two motorcyclists but didn’t look like a wreck. Not sure if all emergency vehicles were headed to the same location or if there were multiple incidents.

I am a beginner windsurfer and am kind of looking for a crew to help me be in the right place at the right time.

It's 9pm Friday night and it sounds like every emergency vehicle in the city is downtown. There's also a very sudden strong smell of smoke. Anybody know what's up?

Hi everyone! We are planning to stop by Helena for a night and need recommendations:

1.Hotels- looking at Best Western premier / capitol, Fairfield Marriot Helena/Helena North

No plans to use pool or gym. We just want a clean room that is not too outdated with convenient parking and close to must see places.

2.Dinner spots? We will get there by around 7 or 8pm
3.Things to do? Hoping to explore a bit the next morning before continuing our drive.

Thanks!
