Rider had to go in today to get some broken teeth pulled. As you can imagine on top of the expensive procedures, it was also an all-day event so I walked about 2 miles around downtown Missoula to explore and take pictures. I had to be on a flexible schedule so really could not make a plan to do anything; luckily, that is how I roll.

I have not spent much time here but wanted to check the place out, especially after driving through and seeing downtown on the way to take Rider to the vet dentist.

Missoula is a college town and has a great energy and vibe to it. It is an older city, though, and there are a lot of cool buildings as you will see in the pictures. There’s a good selection of ethnic restaurants and both new & old-school bars.

Of course, I like history, architecture, doorways, and anything odd & interesting so these pictures will show all of that.

So here’s a taste of what I saw today in Missoula, Montana, U.S.
