Best Of Billings

In my opinion, the radio industry, especially at the corporate level, doesn't take AM radio very seriously. But here in Montana, AM radio is still listened to a lot. I started on KMON-AM in Great Falls. That station reached 48 Montana counties and three Canadian provinces...

I started dipping snuff in the summer of 1988 when I was 12 years old. My friend Steven would steal a can from the roll in his dad's truck and we would get ready for a major buzz. After a summer of doing this, I noticed that the buzz wasn't nearly as intense or fun, but for whatever reason I found myself craving more of it...

McDonalds' Big Mac and Burger King's Whopper. I love both burgers and my stomach can attest to that. The two kings of the fast food world had been in talks of putting their buns aside and combining forces and burgers to give you the McWhopper. Thi...

Dogs are so much better than cats. I don't get how people can put a poop box in their kitchen, watch the cat bury one, let it walk on their couch or pillow and then use it. Sure, you have to clean up after your dog but it's outside...

I tend to socialize a lot. That means that my family and I go out to eat a lot. And when it's grownups only, we'll hit an occasional bar. A couple of the spots I like feature super service. The Pryor Creek Golf Course, Tiny's Tavern and The Rex will get you served in a hurry...

Some folks don't follow politics because they don't think their vote matters. Or, they don't think that there is anything they can do about it. Charlie Daniels is different. And he's right. His latest letter is titled, "You've Betrayed Your Country" and it's addressed to Congress...

Researchers believe they have discovered the gene that can lead to obesity and with this discovery might be able to develop some type of pill to offset weight gain. Now keep in mind that the gene was still in humans back in the '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s when the obesity epidemic was absent in most cases...

As classes get underway in Billings and across Montana, state health officials and law enforcement officials are reminding motorists to slow down and watch out for children, especially before and after school. In 2013 and 2014, seven Montana children between the ages of 5 and 17 were admitted to hospitals across the state after being struck by motor vehicles, according to the Montana Department of

Have you ever asked your principal why your school starts on the day it does? Everyone starts on a different day. Why? What's the reason? No one seems to know. Do they just randomly choose a date ? I think it would be great if all schools in Montana started and ended the same days, then let local school boards make their own schedules fit between those dates...

The first day of anything can make anyone nervous, especially when it's a child going to school for the first time. I remember going my first time. I was scared to death. Would anyone like me? Would I make friends? Would I be picked on? The list goes on...

If you're planning on heading into the Heights this weekend, perhaps for the Health and Fitness Expo at MetraPark, keep in mind that Fourth Avenue does have a couple of lanes closed. It doesn't start until around 23rd Street, so it isn't terrible, but Zimmerman Trail may be more appealing for some...
