helena is a hick town, hands down. and everything these people said about the town is false its a horrible place to raise kids because there's nothing for them to do, its crowded and everything 'interesting" is "interesting" for about 5 seconds before it gets old and you never want to hear about it again. and people get way to excited over the damn high school rivalry because it's the only thing to get excited about. i hated helena and i only lived their for 2 years.
ever since i saw "a river runs through it" iv wanted to visit montana. It reminds me of the south west of Ireland in some ways except with much more defined seasons. it looks beautiful though.
Hate to say it, it's the most unfriendly place I have ever lived. If you arent born there blah blah..They blame everyone else for whats wrong and funny the video didnt mention the DUI rates, the tweekers, and the horrible pay for there lack of jobs...Maybe I just missed that part... Oh and apparently it's acceptable to wear your pj's and those damn crocks everywhere... I lived there for 2 1/2 years soooooooooooooo happy I left
@TheZeebraTV I'm a kid living here and I think it's pretty great. Most of the times. I mean our community is trying hard to be the best, even though it's not it's pretty good.
dont be fooled if your not from helena they dont like you. if they do like you its because you have money or a wife and they want it. now the good folks are up in the mountians York, Clancy...
Looking at the quality of this vid makes me believe that they probably make our local commercials as well! :P All joking aside, I've been a Helenan all of my life, well more correctly I lived in Clancy for most of it, but that's only a few minutes away, and I must say that it's been great. Many people, mostly kids, complain that there's nothing to do here, but I can tell you there's more than meets the eye, you just have to know where to look.
I was born in Helena and lived there until i was about 5. So when that lady asked her daughter what she wanted to do, i knew immediately the girl would say go to the carousel because that was the funnest thing to do! :)!
I recently moved to texas from helena. I hated the fact i was 1 of the 20 (hispanics,blacks,asians,ect) people in my school who WASNT white...it was so hard to embrace my heritage. scince i moved i dont miss helena AT ALL (miss my friends tho) but at least texas is more diverse...
No it is not!! It sucks!! I live in this crappy place. It's boring, it has stupid schools, a shity mall that's closing down. There's nothing to do. Freezing winters, horrible summers!! It is not awesome!! Its horrible

Liked the City manager. We lived in Helena for almost 3 years, bought a house only to have to relocate for a job. If any one our there is looking for a house, I'll give you one heck of a deal on it. Sorry, if this is shameless, we are just trying everything we can think of.

Helena is ok... Post Falls, Idaho is awesome! Right between Spokane, WA and Coeur D' Alene, ID it is perfect! Post Falls has the Riverfront Hotel, The Dam, Awesome Night Clubs, and you can go swimming, skiing, driving, 4 wheeling, shopping, get a cab, ride a bus, ride a train, climb, dance, party, and bike! Something for everyone. Plus the casino is just a ride away for gamblers! Post Falls is perfect, I want to move there.

Are you kidding me? Helena is a complete armpit...possibly eclipsed only by Butte and Great Falls. Every town along I-15 is a complete joke. If you think Helena is the best city in the world you've obviously only been to Helena and El Paso. Helena SUCKS!!!!!
Also... The part of the video that state "... This is the Montana Club..." is not the Montana Club... I have eaten there at least 20 times... and I was married there... The Montana Club does not have window mounted AC units there... nor residents... Just thought I would let you know.
Helena is the greatest city in the world. Grew up here, wanted to leave, moved to CT.. UT.. Kuwait.. came back. Snow ski area, 30 min away.. 3 great lakes all within 20 minutes. For all of you haters, if you don't like it, either do something to make it better, or leave! I left 3 times and realized that Helena is the greatest city in the world. TONS to do if you like going to the lake or snow skiing... no clubbing... which is AWESOME!!! No GIANT MALL.. Also Awsome!!! we have a COSTCO... AWESOME!
i live in this hel hole, and it sucks,it has nothing to offer and it is BORING, i used to live in portland and denver, and trust me, they are both better
AGGH!! Remove this video right now! Montana is a nasty, wild place with uh mountain men, and um WILD ANIMALS and the Freemen and LOTS of unfriendly locals and the winters are HARSH and COLD and LONG and the winter lasts ALL YEAR so don't come here, It's WAY better where you are.
Born and raised in Helena. I have not lived there in over 20 years; but it will always be home to me.
