Maybe it's a little bit of the frog in a boiling pot of water thing, but I'm a little blown away that Gallatin County now has over 100,000 people. GC is also the 24th fastest growing county in the USA and the fastest growing in Montana-by quite a bit. Bozeman still doesn't feel all that big to me (because it's not) but with most of that 100K living in the Bozeman-Belgrade-Four Corners area we're getting a little more urban. And of course MSU is growing very fast too. It's very fascinating.

In a few years Flathead County will go over 100K so Montana will have 4 counties with over 100K people.

Curious to see what the city's plan is to eventually fix the funneling of all traffic to Main, 7th, and 19th. That is not a sustainable infrastructure for as many people as Bozeman has.

Hell when I started in 2001, 19th wasn't far removed from a dirt road, and was single lane.

Just a flying guess but I am figuring there were probably 35000 when I left in 82. MAYBE.

That was my guess for 77 when we left. Wonder if that # includes students.
