Best of Billings

On Wednesday, Sept. 16, The Flakes will be at Cowboys Bar in Huntley to help raise money and awareness for the Wounded Warrior Project. Whenever you think you have it bad, think of what these soldiers have to go through just to recover from their injuries, not to mention the psychological  troubles and trying to find a place to fit back into society...

Growing up in a very small town where everyone knew everyone and there was a high chance you were related to them made for some nice things. For example, school lunch wasn't that bad. My classmates and I rarely, if ever, brought our own lunch to school...

Flu season will be here before we know it. That miserable sickness is something I'd rather not think about. It hurts, it's gross, lasts forever and is just a pain to deal with. About three years ago, my family and I started getting the flu shot to deal with it...

It's the old question, are you a dog or cat person? This one question at times seems to divide people. Crazy, huh? I used to profess my dislike for cats. I thought dogs were the only way to go. They appreciate you when you get home, they seem to love you to the end with no questions asked and so on...

My wife and I got into a discussion recently about Pop Tarts. Yeah, I know, we dig deep into the soul. We tried the new seasonal pumpkin pie Pop Tart and it went into the subject of toasting them. I haven't had a toasted Pop Tart since I was a kid while she claims she has never toasted them...

In this hustle and bustle we call life, it can sometimes be hard to get quality time with those you love so much. Last week was definitely one of those times for me. I love my job so much, but it can be very time-consuming. With five little ones at home, I have to find ways to make it up for them and myself...

For residents completing their shopping at Spirit Halloween on West 24th Street, many will also help support Shodair Children's Hospital in Helena, the state's only children's hospital. Shoppers at the Halloween specialty store, located at 521 24th St. W.,...

Almost every Saturday, from noon to 1:30 p.m., a 58-year-old evangelist perches atop a step stool at one of the busiest intersections in Billings and preaches the word of God as he knows it. Motorists at the corner of 24th Street West and Central Avenue whiz by as Sam Lee uses a megaphone to talk about sin...

I see a lot of people talking about this article making the rounds on Facebook now. "Write the best essay and you can buy this $400,000 house for only $199!" I'm not sure why this particular thing is such a big deal right now, because it's nothing new...

Thursday night was a great show. If you were there, you know. New country duo Dan + Shay, presented by 1111 Presents at Babcock Theater was amazing. From the second the guys walked out onto the stage, they owned it. A mostly high-energy show that kept those in attendance thriving and wanting more...

Do you remember that dreadful day 14 years ago when our great country that celebrates freedom was blind-sided by terrorist nations bound to destroy our way of life? Well, it didn't work. It only strengthened our resolve. We sat and prayed for all of those suffering as Middle East countries like Iran cheered and celebrated the death and destruction in America...

My wife and I have been married for eight years. Since day one, it's been a debate over toilet paper. Of all things, toilet paper. Yep, I said toilet paper. After eight years, we still cannot agree on whether it should unroll over the top or drape back behind...
