Great Falls is normally a pretty quiet and great place to live.

As of recently, we have had a bit of dangerous crime in the streets that has put concern on the citizens of this town.

On Friday evening while my wife and I were walking home on second ave south, we witnessed an alarming amount of things that happened.

As we walked we saw cars driving the wrong way on a one-way, as well as being a victim of a drive-by paintballing.

There was a vehicle that sped past us and my wife complained about a sting on her leg. We looked down and there was blue paint. We are fine, there was just a bit of light bruising both physically and mentally.

Normally this would all be in good fun to be shot with a paint ball, but that's in a controlled  area of gameplay. With the recent shootings going on, it seems a bit scary for someone to drive by and shoot someone with anything.

Stuff like this really frightens me, if a person has the audacity to drive around tagging people with a paintball gun, who's to say that people won't graduate to real firearms?

That sting my wife felt could've been a real bullet.

I feel like actions like this put people's emotions on a slippery slop that can only result in more fear and division in a time were things are already on thin ice.

Maybe cut back on the pranks before someone else gets hurt in our lovely city.

This Family Friendly "Montana Town" Is Frozen In Time

One of the coolest places to check out in Montana is the "Old Montana" town of Nevada City. Located just on the other side of Virginia City, Nevada City is the perfect example of what life was like back during the gold rush in the 1800s.

With several different buildings to tour and friendly folks to guide you through your visit, as well as tell you the stories of the times, Nevada City is not only educational but fun for the whole family.
