Letter Carriers' Food Drive is This Saturday
You really don't need to look too far in Butte to see that there are many among us who are living paycheck to paycheck. Some of those do not even have a paycheck. Their lives are meal to meal. For some, their conditions are not as dire, yet they are still in need of assistance and that assistance is provided here in Butte by the Butte Emergency Food Bank. What the Food Bank does here in Butte, for so many, is such an important service for those in need. This Saturday, our local Postal Carriers are going to give you a chance to help the Food Bank through the Letter Carriers' Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.

Tim Montana's new song is in elite company
You certainly cannot say that Tim Montana has not worked hard over the course of his career. I got to know Tim back when he was pushing his first single, "Butte, America" way back in 2007 and he was working hard then as he came to our radio stations personally and convinced us to give the song a few spins on the local airwaves. He had recently returned from school in California where he had studied under the legendary Johnny Hiland, which while impressive, was just the tip of the iceberg.

See the Butte Depot's incredible transformation
Thirty years ago, Butte was still learning how to deal with the economic and social fallout that came with the fall of the Anaconda Company. A once bustling mining boomtown whose population had been well over 100,000 early in the twentieth century, by the 1990s it had fallen to just over 30,000. With the decline in population came urban blight. Many Uptown buildings, which once housed stores, offices and apartments were abandoned and lay dormant. The warehouse district was no exception. Right in the heart of the district is the once-bustling Great Northern Depot which was a hub of railway travel in Montana. For years it sat abandoned, although many would talk about the building's potential. But nobody took action. Until the Fisher Family came into the picture.
