Closet Clothes-Out
Text by Tina Bowen | Photo by Jesse Martinez
Did you know that we only wear 30% of what’s in our closet? As that sobering fact sinks in, think about what remains in the 70% that’s just taking up valuable space in your closet. It’s time to purge! Although it can seem overwhelming, here are some helpful hints about downsizing. The first step is to separate your closet into 3 categories: keep, toss, and donate. Since we are entering the spring season, the best place to start is with the seasonal clothing you just finished wearing. The fact that some of the winter clothes didn’t even make it off the shelf is a good clue that it could be in the toss or donate pile.
History to Hotspot
The Historic Montana Building’s Next Chapter
Text by Holly Matkin | Photography by Jim Wells
On an unassuming side street in downtown Great Falls, a renewed energy is buzzing through a stately 88-year-old brick building just north of Central Avenue. Commonly known as the Montana Building, this four-floor structure was originally constructed in 1929 in order to house the office spaces of a cooperative of medical professionals. Over the course of nearly a century, its rooms have been occupied by attorneys, doctors, dentists and an array of small businesses, interspersed with poignant stretches of vacancies that have made its vastness all the more prominent. Through good years and bad, the Montana Building has awaited its next
opportunity to shine, standing as a silent witness to the evolution of the city’s business epicenter.

Beating Your Back Pain

Most Americans will experience an episode of significant back pain over the course of their lives. The good news is: most back problems get better on their own – approximately 90 percent of patients
with lower back problems recover within six weeks, including those with disk herniations.
