If Your Ever In Billings,Montana

// August 10th, 2009 // No Comments » // Big JimmyK's Blog

I spent my Sunday this week on a little excursion to Billings, Mt and spent most of the day just looking at new construction and all the changes that have taken place in this city over the past few years. My goal at the end of the day was to find a nice little restaurant to have a quite dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend. To my surprise we drove to downtown Billings and low and behold on Broadway I spot these sidewalk tables in front of this quaint little place called Bin 119, what an experience. This place has a New York  feel with the most amazing interior I have seen in Billings to date. After some research I find that this establishment is owned by a couple of young ladies who are experts in wine and apparently design. This is a quest for them into being the first beer and wine restaurant in Billings and I must say they have pulled it off nicely. My meal was excellent as well as all who were with me, the price was reasonable and the atmosphere was beyond belief, their selection of spirits was that of obvious expertise and our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. I felt comfortable and happy to be there and these days I believe that warrants recognition. So next time you visit Billings Montana do yourself a favor and venture downtown to Bin 119 I know you will enjoy it as much as I did.

Oh How I Love Summer!

// April 11th, 2009 // No Comments » // Big JimmyK's Blog

As we approach the beginning of what we hope to be a very busy summer, I can’t help but get excited. Summer in Montana is never taken for granted, with it being very short in comparison to most places we enjoy every single day. The tough part if there is one is trying to squeeze all of the events and activities into a short period. Concerts, motorcycle rallies, family gatherings, vacations wow it is just a blur and time passes very fast. Montana and especially Red Lodge is a beautiful summer destination, medium temperatures, mountains, water, trees, camping I can’t think a place I would rather be in the summer. As a Montana native I feel very lucky but as I get older I will admit a winter get away is in order. This year we hope to be able to spend some of our winter in a little warmer climate, good for the soul and the bones however I won’t be gone long before I start to hear the call of my great home state and all it has to offer. We hope as you ponder about a destination you would like to travel to that you keep us in mind, we would love to share our little bit of heaven with you and I know it will become a regular stop if you give a try. Enjoy your summer and we hope to see you!

The World Needs Good News!

// April 3rd, 2009 // No Comments » // Big JimmyK's Blog

I just feel the need to say something positive! I challenge our media to take a positive stance on our current economic situation. We know things are very tough for many people and it is forcing many changes in peoples lives.  I learned this lesson from my son, change is good even though at the time it happens it doesn’t seem that way. We need to remember that everyday is a good day and if we didn’t face some adversity life would be boring. We will recover from this downturn as we always do and just like all of the great technology that we acquired from the tech bubble we will have better ideas from this as well. Hopefully we will finally move to better uses of energy, update our grids for delivery and make the move into the future that we desperately need to be competitive in the World. I maintain that if the media would spend one week on being positive we would see a much quicker recovery. The word of the day is think positive, it makes us more creative!
