Construction is underway on the west end that will bring another outdoor recreation outfitter to Billings. REI will have it's fourth Montana location when the new store is completed on the northwest side of the King Avenue West and Shiloh Road intersection.

It was expected to be a lopsided win. And by many accounts it was. But the Montana Grizzlies showed some fight on Saturday night.

After moving from downtown, Commons 1882 is now open in their new location (115 Shiloh Suite 8) in Shiloh Commons. According to their website, the menu is "eclectic scratch made modern American" and has a full bar with craft beer, cocktails and wines.

The intersection of Central Avenue and 24th Street West will have a new look in the upcoming months. McDonalds tore down their previous building on Central Avenue to construct a new restaurant on the corner. A Conoco Gas used to be there before it was torn down.

After more than two and a half years of waiting, the Rex Hotel will come back to life as a new steakhouse in the upcoming weeks.
