^^^this! Or don't stop at all! Bozeman is gross!Best advice I’d give is grab a sandwich and beer at the Chalet Market just on the south side of the Belgrade exit and keep rolling.
The hate isn't coming from locals, it's coming from other Montanan's - I'll leave you to decide why that is, but I have my theory. Bozeman has it's downside, especially given a lot of the more recent move-ins, but it's still a great place to live, with generally a LOT more to offer than any other town in Montana. I just ignore the overly quaffed women with turquoise cowboy boots... there's still plenty of really fine people here, including many of the recent arrivals. Change is the one constant in life, and four or five winters has a way of sifting the chaff...Where did you end up at? I can understand the hate from locals after seeing what the town has turned into.
