Hmmmm... Guess I'm not alone in this.....

or however that dang word is written! : ) Use this forum to discuss those things that are related to, directly, or indirectly, fly fishing, i.e., tackle, catalogs, single malt scotch, cigar preferences, pipes, camera gear, etc. This is sort of an off topic area but one related to bamboo and fly fishing.

TV shows: “Little Boxes” theme song for the TV show ‘Weeds’, works great as a Bozeman theme song.

Are you telling us that you are basing your view of life, and your knowledge of Bozeman MT where my kids and grandchildren live, on TV shows?
And? Actually, it was a joke about an episode in a great TV show. Now if instead I go back and re-read all the posts in this thread then yes, I would base my views of Bozeman well down the list of great cities it USED to be. This is a more recent evaluation of Bozeman.

"The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Bozeman is 1 in 57. Based on FBI crime data, Bozeman is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to Montana, Bozeman has a crime rate that is higher than 74% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes."

Think about the big, big picture. When Europeans "discovered" and settled the east coast of America they dispossessed the native occupants of their lands. Some tribes moved west and in doing so dispossessed other indigenous peoples. The classic example of this is the Sioux who were pushed as far as eastern Montana. Maybe we should ask the Crows, Blackfeet, Pawnees, Shoshones Nez Perce and others how they feel about the unwelcome changes that they were forced to endure. History just keeps on repeating itself.

I find this thread pretty offensive, and some the comments really sadden me. Mark, not sure why you felt the need to post it. I am often a lurker here, but this thread really turns me off from being a part of this group.

Actually I wish Sheridan had some of the conveniences that Bozeman has. We don't have anything close to the Rosauers or the co-op here.

No worries. I just thought it was interesting to post what others, whoever posted the billboard, think of the abuses this valley is experiencing. Thats' all. Take from it what you will.

Yea, my thinking has been to move to a place that's already crushed, and I won't have to watch as this one explodes. :)
You want to leave a place that has become "crushed" that, suites your life style, to move to a place that is already "crushed" just so you don't have to watch the "crush"???????????

Are we not made of stronger stuff than to be offended by someones opinion in a post? I hate shutting down dialogue for fear of offending someone. It's become a national pastime. Boze Angeles? I actually LIVE in Los Angeles so I could choose to be offended if I wanted to be! But I prefer to point out the obvious, which is that as bad as you think you have it, there is no fly fishing or grouse hunting close enough to LA and the public golf courses, if you can get a tee time or walk on, promise you a 6-7 hour 18 hole round. Boze Angeles sounds pretty good to me.

I doubt it considering Mark's other thread lamenting development and a desire to re-locate.

Its not fair to to say “developed by a Doctor”, but for me, it painted a picture that sure seems to ring true.
So it painted a picture of a person with a lot of money and bad taste. That's not exclusive to doctors.

Upstate NY, there I said it. Northern Catskills, small towns, lower taxes, golf courses everywhere, and world class trout fishing, world class Salmon fishing within 2 hours. Winters a bit harsh but that's what they make books for. PS: Moved here from Hudson county, NJ 33 years ago. ;)

Word about town is that Simms is looking to relocate elsewhere because, in part, their employees can't find an affordable place to live....

Here's an interesting 3D map of housing by $ / sq ft across the country.

And another showing the rate of increase over the last 5 years.

I'm shocked, but not surprised, by anything in either thread--we brought it all on ourselves.
