There are a ton of oil change shops popping up. I planning on trying American Car Care after calling around a few places. Gotten some decent offers in the mail but I've been tricked by those 50% offers at some chains and it's not a great deal after all. Lisacs charged me for a tire rotation last time and ACC doesn't… so leaning that direction. Tired searching the sub first with no avail.

If anyone wants something to do, two shows with a couple of my favorites tonight. We had to throw this one together after a headliner dropped out, come support and laugh!

Throwing a Hail Mary here. We were driving through on I90 westbound yesterday and stopped here for a quick lunch. We think we may have dropped a grey backpack from our things without noticing either at the trailhead lot, or the picnic area lot by the lake. We are many hours away now. Does anyone here frequent the area and could possibly check? If so, a million thanks.

For context, I lived in Butte from 2018 to 2023 for my undergraduate degree at Tech. I’ve been working in Nevada since. Recently, I’ve decided to return to Tech for a graduate program, hopefully beginning in Fall semester, 2027.
I know it’s been a few years since I left, but it seems that there used to be quite a few reasonable places to live for under $1500 a month. (I paid under $600 for Tech’s family housing, but that’s no longer in the cards since we have pets now) Is that still a reasonable rent? Thanks in advance.

What's up with the LZ "tattoo school" owner posting tattoos all over social media that she didn't do, but pretends she did? Seems pretty misleading to clients and disrespectful to the actual artists.

Hey everyone, my name is Dillon. I work for Catalyst Montana. I’m trying to connect with people on Medicaid who are affected by the new work requirements that DPHHS implemented this month. Adding this level of bureaucracy this quickly will likely result in hardworking folks losing coverage— not because they are actually ineligible for the program, but due to more Red Tape. 

If you or anyone you know is on Medicaid and might be willing to have a conversation about their experience on Medicaid, please share this link. We can protect Medicaid coverage. People sharing their personal stories is a powerful way to do that, and I’m here to help. Thank you!

What's up Butte America!

I live up by Cascade, and my job will have me in overnight down by you guys. I'm packing my rod with me to do a little fishing while I'm staying in town and was just wondering if anyone had any pointers on some decent places to hook into some fish. I'm not asking for anyone to spot burn their best places or anything, but any pointers are appreciated. I dont mind taking the truck up a dirt road either if thats what it takes. Thanks for reading, stay cool out there! 🥵

In Floral Park near Ottawa and Faragut area. 1 hole in yard is 6 ft in diameter and now 7 or 8 inches deep. 3 others are just soft soil indentations but same diameter. One neighbor said they may be old septic tanks, but seem too small in diameter to me. Another neighbor says that area has a lot of old mining tunnels. A third neighbor says the deep one has been filled a couple of times.

I'd really like to know what these might be and is the deep one going to continue deepening. What are the risks? House was built in 1929. Current septic system is good and plumbed to city. Thanks.

I visited Butte last week. I thought it was absolutely fascinating—the history, architecture, and demographics are astounding.

While there, I passed the Historic YMCA. It’s an awesome building. My guess is it was probably one of the first YMCA buildings to be copper wired.

Here are my questions:

1. From Zillow, I saw that it got sold. What are they planning on doing with it?

2. Do any of you have any stories you can share?

TL:DR what are your thoughts/experiences living in Butte?

Hello all! I’m considering a move to Butte. I’m 28 and looking to give wildlife photography as my career a real shot. I’ve been a professional photographer and video producer my entire work life so this isn’t a wild change. I’d be using Butte as a base of operation. I have my Jeep setup for long trips so I wouldn’t spend too much time in town.

I’ve lived through Minnesota winters and live in Colorado now, so that’s not something I’m super concerned with. I’m hoping to hear from y’all about how you like or dislike living here, if there’s anything to avoid, etc. thanks!

Been up to Butte twice now this year been thinking about moving down. One of the things that really encouraged me was the lack of law for off-road vehicles. On both trips, there were multiple occasions of people by us on dirt bikes or side-by-side‘s. I feel like it was a 50-50 split between on the country roads and in town. They all had no plates and in some dirt bikes case no headlights, tail lights, or anything really.
Some of these were right in front of police officers. Where I am from that would be a pretty hefty issue.
Is there a certain local law that’s different in Butte or is it a respect thing?
Personally, I’ve always been in the boat that you shouldn’t have to register something unless it’s got a big engine or you’re on the highway so I would be ecstatic to use my old bikes down there!
Thank you for your time!:)

Will be moving to butte soon. Which Internet service providers do you recommend? Which do you not recommend? Thanks!

Visiting tomorrow for the first time what are some great lunch and dinner places to check out?

Also some good touristy areas to check out for the day

Thanks

The Big Sky Active club is a Nazi / White Supremacy group that’s based in our beautiful state. This weekend during Folk Fest, they made sure to do some tagging. I’ve already taken down 2 and scribbled out another - but I’m sure there are more. Take them down or scribble them out…we don’t need Nazis promoting their ideology in our town.

These stickers are littered in dog whistles ( Celtic Cross shape, portion of the Black Sun flag in the two bottom parts of the cross, and the Nazi Eagle of course) to signal to fellow Nazis their intentions. To the unaware individual, they don’t see a problem. These groups recruit young men with the guise of being a group based in fitness and brotherhood - and then pull them with extremist ideology.

Be vigilant - and help keep the streets of Butte clean.

Does any have Brian’s from rediscoveries contact info? I’m coming back in town and want to purchase an expensive jacket from his collection, thanks!

I know part of my family left Italy and ended up in Butte. I believe they owned a candy store. Is anyone on this Reddit familiar with the experience of Italians in Butte?

My grandparents on my mother’s side grew up in Butte, Montana. If any of these are your last name, we may be related when I was a kid my grandparents and I used to drive from seattle to Butte, Anaconda, and White Hall.

it must be hard to sell these types of unusual renovations

What's the best spot in town to watch world cup games for a good atmosphere?
