Cabela’s Grand Opening in Kalispell

November 10, 2013December 7, 2013 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country

  It was snowing like crazy when we reached Depotland (the shopping district in Kalispell where the big box stores reside). Cabela’s parking lot was packed, so David parked in the Lowe’s lot across the street. From there, we walked over to the grand opening. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this […]

The Spirit of the West: Unchanged

November 9, 2012October 23, 2017 Mallory Leave a comment Glacier Country, Historical

It was once mused that the character of a city is formed by the character of its founders; this rings true especially when we discuss the towns of the Flathead Valley. Late in the 19th century, the city of Kalispell was brought to life by settlers hailing from all across the country. They all shared […]

Before They Had Cat Ladies and Old Maids….

October 10, 2012November 19, 2018 Mallory 2 Comments Glacier Country, Historical

…the Flathead Valley had these fellows. This photograph taken from a historical book about the Flathead Valley caught my eye. Two of the men in the photograph advertising “Wives Wanted” are holding cats.     Adventurous men traveled to the Montana frontier in the 1800’s and 1900’s looking for work and hoping for  success. Many […]

Signs of Spring

March 29, 2012January 17, 2017 Marlene 1 Comment Glacier Country

While much of the U.S. is greening up and experiencing signs of spring in the form of blooming azaleas and cherry blossoms, Montana is slowly awakening from its wintertime slumber. Trees are showing buds and a couple of early crocus flowers have shown their faces in the garden, but for the most part our landscape […]

A One Story Mall with a Hotel

August 18, 2011August 10, 2013 Marlene Leave a comment Glacier Country

As Kalispell Center Mall is celebrating its 25th anniversary, it is interesting to note that it was ahead of its time. In 1986, it was one of the few malls in the country to be built with an attached hotel.     When I first visited the Kalispell Center Mall in December of 2000, the […]

The Haunted Hospital in Kalispell?

May 24, 2011October 23, 2017 Mallory Leave a comment Glacier Country

I imagine that the condominium across from the elementary school is haunted.   In 1911 a large brick building was constructed to make Kalispell‘s first general hospital. For over 60 years the Eastside Brick building served as the city‘s hospital. In 1973 it became a branch of the courthouse. The hospital was refurbished in 2007 […]
