I grew up here, born and raised. I lived in a good little neighborhood full of the elderly, except for the little family down the street with weird vibes. Generally a happy neighbor hood, even if after these past 18 years our family has lost its title of having the loudest fireworks on the Fourth of July.
The town has always been home to me, no matter what. Our mall might be dying, our sheriff might have "switched" from democrat to republican, our homeless populations might be growing every single year and the city forces churches to evict them from their property even though the church didn't mind, and our schools seem to degrade in quality every few years, but its still home.
Stores are closing. People are losing homes. Nobody votes. Roads are getting bigger. There's yet another casino or coffee shop. Where's the art? Where's that fun downtown scene?

Great Falls is a community surrounded by beautiful wildlife and nature, but unfortunately it is easily overshadowed by the old and abandoned businesses, the declining and decaying houses, bigoted locals, and unsafe driving conditions. With a little help from the community and local government, roads and businesses could be thriving, pollution could be decreaed, and overall wellbeing of everyone could see change and growth.
Great Falls is a great place to live. It is very family friendly, has many outdoor activities, and is only hours away from 2 different national parks. I recommend living here if you love snow/snow sports during the winter months and hiking/camping during the summer months. Another positive is that it is a military town. This means there are a lot of people here from around the country/world which makes it an awesome place to live because there are many different cultures coming together in the community.
