It's your typical Class A (you know what I mean) Montana railroad town. There are a few restaurants, a quaint downtown shopping area, etc. Comparable to Havre, if you've ever been there. The Bakken is bringing a bit more population/business to the area, which in turn brings increased cost of living. Nothing compared to what most of CP is accustomed to, of course.
It would take a seriously good job to get me to move there. Mrs. Moe describes it as "2 hours from nowhere". It's consistently the hottest town in Montana during the summer months, 90's every day, 100+ often. I will admit that the Bucking Horse Sale is a damn good time...
My Great Aunt has lived there for 45 years, God bless her. Then again, when you come from Wolf Point, it probably seems like paradise.
Feel free to PM me if you'd like.
