One of Zoo Montana’s original Siberian Tigers, TJ, has died.
TJ was having hip surgery and didn’t make it. Even though he has been in South Carolina for five years folks still ask about him. I’m sure his South Carolinian keepers will miss him as much as we do.
R.I.P. TJ
Check out the list and pay your respects.
TV Barn has a great profile of John Bohlinger, Jr., the current head of the house bands for the television shows Nashville Star, on the USA Network, and The Next GAC Star on the Great American Country Network.
Yes, John, Jr. is the youngest son of our Lt. Governor.
Aaron Barnhart is an old friend of the Bohlinger family and has written an engaging and honest profile of a Billings native who is succeeding in something he loves. John has an album in the works but it has yet to be released. If you check out the music section of John’s website you can get a taste of the type of music John writes and performs. Good stuff all. Hopefully, it will be released soon.
Billings Studio Theatre
has opened their 2008-2009 season with Mel Brooks’ The Producers.
The good Dr. Mueller has a nice review of opening night. Check it out.
While looking through the newly issued business licenses I came across what may be one of the best business names I have seen yet.
I don’t know anything about them yet but I’m wondering if it may be the name of one of the vendors who work downtown with their wiener cart.
Does anyone know for sure?
Looking for a place to rent in Montana? Then check out MTHousingSearch.com and see if you can find what you want. There are over 3,000 listings and they are in English and Spanish so this should make it easier to find a place.
The City Council had a busy night last night working to get the Cabela’s project on track while more money was allocated to the proposed downtown railroad “quiet zone.” Working next to the tracks downtown I can attest to the occasional annoyance of the engine horns but I’m not sure if $1.5 million is the best use of the City’s funds.
Sad news coming from ZooMontana today with the passing of William, one of their Red Pandas.
I feel for the staff who always invest so much of themselves into the animals they take care of. If you have ever lost a pet you know what they must be feeling. Hopefully time will heal all wounds.
OK Folks, Alycook444 has the following query:
An upcoming cross-country move will involve stays in Billings, Montana, and Fargo, North Dakota. I would love ideas for things to eat and see. Thanks in advance!
