On Tuesday, the Missoulian will help the Missoula Food Bank kick off its holiday food drive by including a grocery bag with each edition of our newspaper. We’ve provided this service for years, and are happy to do so – albeit sorry that the need continues. In fact, were we to truly show the need as this [...] Advertisement
ConocoPhillips’ 300-ton coke drums are shown at the Port of Lewiston, Idaho, earlier this year. Photo by LINDA THOMPSON/Missoulian Here at MissoulaEditor.com, we’re borrowing – OK, stealing – from our friend and colleague Gwen Florio this morning. Florio’s blog, CopsandCourts.com has a great daily feature: “Cops and Courts Quote of the Day.” And there’s been no [...] Sunday’s Missoulian is going to be a “lollapalooza,” to borrow one of my favorite words from the annals of the Western Montana Fair. Years ago, I wrote a story on highlights from a century’s worth of county fairs, and in one of those the Missoulian reporter remarked that the fair had been a “lollapalooza.” I think [...]

As Missoula debates the transport of huge oilfield equipment through town, en route to the oilfields of Alberta, no one has stopped – until now – to ask where we get the gasoline we use each day.

This Sunday, though, our guides will be the Flathead Valley’s HIP group, as in History is Posh. These kindly folks took photographer Linda Thompson and reporter [...] Shades hang in the original windows on the south side of the building, revealed by demolition last month.
